IntrepidXpedition 2007 | Moab to Green River
Day 12: Moab to Green River | July 30, 2007
Before I could head anywhere, I had to replace the waterpump on my Jeep for the second time on this trip. It took a few hours in the morning, so I got a later start than normal.
When I did finally get going, I made my way to Spring Canyon which leads down to the Green River.
Shelf road at the top of Spring Canyon
In the shade under the large overhang on my way into Spring Canyon
Down in Spring Canyon
When I made it to the canyon floor, I headed up the Green River towards Hey Joe Canyon a little ways.
Just a little overgrown down here along the river.
Sure could use some limb risers for this overgrown tamarisk
Traveling close to the Green River
After heading back out, I went to check out the Dellenbaugh Tunnel. I did make it to the end of the trail, but was unable to locate the tunnel. I will be heading back to try and find it another time.
Stopped in front of Tombstone Rock
Near the end of the Dellenbaugh trail
On my way back from the tunnel, I managed to run into another little problem. I guess I was driving a little too fast when I hit a small rocky wash just a little to hard.
I bent the wheel pretty good.
It was not a lot of fun having to change the tire in the middle of the desert with no shade...
...but I did manage to pound out the dent and fill the tire with air, but it went on the back of my Jeep as my new spare tire.
After that setback, I found my way over to Rainbow Terrace, also known as Rainbow Rocks trail. This trail brings you up and close to the Rainbow Rocks butte.
I was originally planning on taking the Crystal Geyser trail to Green River, but because of my delays and because I was worried about my fuel level, I decided to head out on Ruby Ranch Road and hit up I-70 to take to Green River.
The drive on Ruby Ranch Road looked a lot like this
I made it to Green River in time to grab some dinner and get some rest after my long day.

I bet you miss that ole Jeep Randy. What a good rig, it took you all over the place and treated you well.
