OffroadSC Goes West 2020

We spent the day exploring Arches National Park. We rode the jeep trail to Tower Arch which was well worth it.

Today we ran the Trifecta; Poison Spyder to Golden Spike to Gold Bar Rim. It was a long day, 8 hours on trail, and the first half of Poison Spyder was the best part, but had a good time.

Start and end of Pritchett. We had an eventful day to say the least. Had a little roll in the rzr and both of us ran out of gas....note to self...always have a full tank.

Tripp, Bobby, and I took a short day today while the rest of the group went to Pritchett Canyon. We rode out to Hole in the Rock, ran back into the entrance of Hell's Revenge to see the dinosaur tracks, then went to Moab Rim. The first mile of Moab Rim up to the overlook was probably the most technical obstacles we ran all week.

Stopped by the mural this morning.






And other than my trans linkage, this is the extent of my damage this week. Poor exhaust pipe...

Spent the day exploring Ouray and Silverton. Ouray was beautiful. Black bear pass tomorrow morning.

We got out of Moab around 10:00 AM Friday. We caught up to Dial a couple hours down the road after their second trailer bearing failure and a badly damaged spindle. We helped them get back on the road and got to Amarillo by (early hours of the) Morning. On the road again.

We left Amarillo at 10:00 AM Saturday and drove through the night. Rolled in to B-L at 7:05 this morning.

Black Bear was awesome at the top. We had to bail on the decent to Telluride and go Ophir over there. It felt like -30 at the top of Black Bear. We were not prepared to make that decent and get stuck for any long period of time.

The black truck crew is approaching the Mississippi currently. Should be to Greenwood around 2AM.

Got the boss's JL up the entrance of Moab Rim.

The week was a blur, but tons of fun. Here are some Saturday pics from Monticello, Utah

We cruised in to Hodges last night at 2:30. Work started calling at 8AM and I was in the office at 9 somehow... I figure i'll make it a few hours today to help get the week over faster.

No flats, no major mechanical failures, a few things to replace on the rzr and tow rig after the trip... Lost an inner fender in Nashville on the way out and on of my BFG's started de-laminating last night in ATL. Hopefully they make it right....again. Second set that's done this to me.

Had an absolute blast out west. I will do a trip report on our end this week sometime.

The song lyric "work sucks, I know" hit me in the feels this morning.

~4300 miles on this rig in the past 11 days. That’s more than it gets in the average year.

The song lyric "work sucks, I know" hit me in the feels this morning.

I was off today since we knew we’d be back super late. Got woke up at 7:30 with work calls so I went in for a while so I’d get paid for my efforts. 6.5 hours less to do Friday now...
