Riding in the 12Mile Pass / Little Moab / Eureka Area on Sat
Anybody wanting to do a bit of trail exploring (ATV) is welcome to join me. I plan on staging somewhere around Chimney Rock (South/West corner of Utah Lake). PM me if you want to ride along and do some exploring of side trails (and a bit of geocaching).

Man, quit tempting me! I wanted badly to come on your last trip, but I just can't justify spending that much on fuel to haul my ATV up there. One of these days my wife is going to be scratching her head wondering where I am and where all our money went.

Bummer. Looks like I'm a couple days late and a ATV short!
Looks like you hit the east side of the East Tintic Mtns. this time, Jim. Would've been a lot of fun to join you for the ride."All roads, all codes!"

It was a great ride. Departed just south of Saratoga Springs and rode all the way into Eureka (again) for fuel and soda.
SPOT didn't send notifications of my arrival in/around Eureka oddly.
A few memorable events from this ride:
- I ran over at least 5 very large rattle snakes first thing in the morning; the largest being just under 8' in length.
- I was on the receiving end of two ricocheting 9mm rounds, one hitting me in the left thigh and the other into my machine. I was able to find the projectiles and confront the idiots shooting across/near the trail.
- I discovered an awesome side trail that took me further west and through some awesome flower-covered, tree-lined terrain. In that location, I found a concrete shack (in the middle of nowhere) and placed a geocache.
By 3:00pm, it was getting pretty hot and I started the return loop back to my vehicle.

Yeah. Just mount a 50 cal. on the front of your rig and you're set!
