Moab was an awesome time!!! After some arm twisting (very little) from my friends, I decided at the last minute on Wednesday to head out to Moab. I threw all my gear together Wednesday night and rolled out straight from work Thursday afternoon. Friday we did Flat Iron Mesa. This trail had some challenging obstacles and some unreal scenery. This trail would be a good one for a newbie Moab driver. There were only a few obstacles were I was glad I had lockers. The trail had everything...slick rock, ledges, loose rocky climbs, sand and steep decents.
Saturday was a nasty little trail called Pritchett Canyon. Some consider this the toughest 6 miles in Moab...and I am one of them. Awesome trail with some really sick challenging stuff. The cruiser made it through every obstacle without damage but only because I had excellent spotters. There was some serious adrenaline pumping after that run.
I got up early Sunday morning and headed home just in time for my daughters 4th birthday party. Here are some statistics on the trip: I spent $170.00 on fuel, $45.00 on food, $20.00 on beverages, and $0 on lodging. Moab can be a cheap trip if you camp and stay out of the restaurants and gift shops. But if you must eat out, Pasta Jays is awesome.
