escalante

Post by fixxervi6 » Sun Jul 28, 2019 5:14 pm

Holy crap guys, when we went on bikes we missed 95% of the roads.

We found that unless your looking right down the track of the road, you can be feet away from it and have no idea there is a road there. A few spots we were like there must be a road here someplace, screw it I'm in a jeep lets just drive over the burm and look -boom, road.

Most of the roads are better than the BLM 200 sand hell road but there is still lots of sand elsewhere in the monument. Still unpacking but I'll download KML's of some of our tracks and share, we found/marked a bunch of back country BLM camping too.

Do you like the name? :SideSplittingLaughter:

Unfortunately, you are too slow as it is sold. BUT, you can still go purchase one and give her a name worthy of you :D

I'll be going back for sure, we missed 90% of the good stuff on the bikes. I know my way around a bit now, I can be the support vehicle :-)
