Just putting feelers out for trails. Definitely not planning on running all of em listed. Maybe on kokopelli extension, we are working weds also so we might plan on running this next yearSara and I vote as follows:
Porcupine rim: Yes
Poison Spider: We could take it or leave it. Good trail.
Flat Iron Mesa: Yes
Dome Plateau: Yes
Fins, HR: I think Sara should drive Fins.
I also suggest Top of the World. Haven't done it yet.
I don't think we'd do all those trails this trip, it turns into work after a while.
We're showing up for the company, and to drink in some views.
I've been toying with the idea of running Kokopelli from Fruita to HWY 128 on the way in. Just don't know how/if the timing will work out. Any interest in that?
Main problem: I have to work on Wed, so it'd be a drive to Fruita, then start Kokopelli in the afternoon/evening. Shoot for Westwater Wed Afternoon/Evening. Stay a night. Push to 128 Thursday?
You are the best! We were thinking of a group dinner, possibly from Blu Pig but haven't checked pricing yet. Won't be as good as the KC BBQ but not bad either, IMO. I was planning on doing this under your nose to surprise you to say thank you for your hospitality but the cat is out of the bag now. 😀Information for my house. Good news who were here last year, no more goat heads thorns. The back yard has been recently rocked, and some have not been compacted down, so people in tents will want to sleep on air mattresses. As usual, the house is open 24 hours a day, with 3 bathrooms and showers (bring what you need for showers), kitchen open. I have a coffee pot but do not drink coffee, so bring your own coffee. Any significant others not sure about camping, there are 3 bedrooms available for use in the house. I still have alot of firewood, please do not bring any more. Chairs to sit around the fire pit. One planned group meal??
Have you ever done Kokopelli? You might want to budget about 3 hours for that section and try to at least get past Western Rim with daylight, that section's fairly beat up now by all the SxSs and ATVs so you want to do it with some daylight or alternatively be able to see and not miss the bypass (I always use the bypass now FWIW). Figure sunset will be about 6:30 around then.I've been toying with the idea of running Kokopelli from Fruita to HWY 128 on the way in. Just don't know how/if the timing will work out.

Thanks for the heads up, haven't done that section of Kokopelli. The sections I have run have always been on the way out of Moab up to Coal Draw/Harley Dome Rd.Have you ever done Kokopelli?
