Friends,

I'm in no mood to write trip reports, so just take what you get.


Drove down Friday night. Camped at Negro Bill. Saturday I battled 30+ jeeps on the Poison Spider Mesa Trail and went out on the Portal Trail. I then went climbing at Wall Street with some people I met. Camped at Negro Bill again.

Sunday I rode Moab Rim (trail from hell), went to church, and watched Nascar. Camped uh . . . somewhere.

Monday I did the Gemini Bridges road/trail. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten my subaru out on the bridges with how "maintained" that road is.

Overall, my weekend made me happy. Work is making me frustrated.

Yeah, the road out to Gemini Bridges from the bottom. It is passable for most of the way but sections are best done in 4wd. Fourtycal and I drove out to it in my Dodge a few years back and got all the way to or near the base of the arches. You have to hike some of it and you cant camp out there anymore(at the base) or at least ever since the last vehicle fell off the edge and under the arch...they didnt survive the fall.

You're an animal. That's hard enough to Jeep up.

I just camped this time in the regular campgrounds in a tent. Negro Bill is right at the Pork trailhead.

I have stayed at the hostel, and while not that great, It's pretty good for $9. Shared rooms, so bring earplugs or plan on hearing people snore. Showers, TV, Grill, etc included. I'll put in a good word for the place.
