Nick, Eric and myself decided to go prerun the trail we are leading this Friday for Winter On The Rocks. Weather, scenery and friends were awesome. No mechanical problems this trip. One of the obstacles has had a ton of sand washed out of it which made it extremely difficult to get up. We were there for over an hour just to get past one obstacle, so knowing we are bringing more people through in a few days, we filled the hole with about 10 rocks. It's a 9 rated trail with a gatekeeper at the beginning, that requires you to pretty much roll into a rock wall to enter the canyon.

Great pictures! The weather looks awesome. That is one hardcore looking trail. I so wish I could make it to WOTR, the trip reports I read every year make it sound like an event to not be missed. With KOH so soon after it's darn hard for me to make this one but I will sure look forward to the trip reports again!

Great pics and TR! Looks like a very fun day in the sun.
Got a question...how do you maintain oil pressure at those extreme angles?

You always don't, but we fill with oil to the normal fill line then add 2 bottles of Lucas oil treatment. The stuff is amazing, I've been on my side running with no oil pressure for 15 minutes before. The guys running auto transmissions do the same on the them but overfilling. 1 quart overfilled doesn't hurt anything. My wifes JK daily driver I ran 1 quart over all the time, even for freeway driving.

Cool, glad we have a local place, when they turn all of the area surrounding Moab into a NP, trails there will be eliminated.

We have put together about 30 local trails here. All of them have been GPS and turned into the BLM and/or Forest Service. Many of them have been marked with signs and/or trail markers. It currently is an open OHV area, but we are trying to work with everybody about staying on the trails. We do a lot of trail maintenance and clean ups, as of now we are in very good standing. As long as we do our end, this area should be able to stay open forever. It always sucks that you get a couple of stupid people that screw stuff up for the majority, but the best we can do is try and educate. There is no reason that the offroad community and environmentalists can't try to work together a little better and that is what we are trying to do
