The Maze, Canyonlands, November 2011

[Caribou Sandstorm]

Great pics, James!! I know we're a wheeling club and all, but that hike was arguably the highlight of the whole trip for me, what an amazing place to be. You captured it well!

X2 Tim, well said..

To me this is the lure of the area...you get to wheel in the saddle for a day or more to get here and then you get to stretch your legs for a 9+ mile hike.

Really great hiking all over Canyonlands and Beef Basin areas..

The Harvest scene is one of the gems for sure, while remote it is like the low hanging fruit though, there is a ton to see for years to come on return trips.

But nothing compares in my opinion, to your first trip to the Doll House and the Harvest scene, we were treated to arguably one of the all time moon rises ever, as well.

It will be tough to not want to end up there again, at some point, with future trips.

Do you have your 4runner back yet?

No I wish.. Now waiting for an ABS sensor or relay, or board..something like that..Probably pick it up Tuesday afternoon..

The interior is totally dry! They are going to steam clean it.. I think I am getting a new rear bumper! or at least the money for one.

I might be driving a dealer delivery for them back to GJ..Lots to figure out on Monday and Tuesday.

I just armchair wheeled the trip. I'll be there for the next one. Just committed to a bike of the White Rim (with my 80 as the support rig) in April. Now, back to work to pay for the 80!

Love the pics and love the you guys love this type of travel.

Don't you just love how the grass draws circles in the sand.

Time to start planning some hikes. How about a slot canyons? I have my eye on a few.....

 

[rover67]

Update on the 4runner.......

Today at about 12:30pm, I got a call from the insurance company..

The runner is toast. They are totalling it, too many potential issues down the road, I guess.

My wife is sitting over my shoulder right now and just said "that was a short love affair wasn't it?"

Can I get a "Price check" on a New...er Land Cruiser 100 series....

 

[Woodsman]

HoLy ShOoT !

Are you kidding ? Someone needs to buy that from the insurance company and put it back on the road.
