    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.

    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

    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.

    Are you still driving it? Cant let it go? I know the feeling. I recently sold a KTM motorcycle that I owned for 8 years. I couldn't sleep the night I sold it.
