Moab Gathering 2007'.....come one......come all.....Depending on how many people come.....This is the tentative schedule.....From what I've heard...the White Rim Trail can be done in a day...but i'm keeping our options open on this one.....It would be fun to camp....but that means a limit to how many can attend...and the rest as follows........I would love to hear feed back on our tentative schedule...........I'm up for anything
Moab weather in Nov......Avg. high is 57 and the Avg. low is 28 degrees......Going to get cold at night.......make sure to dress warm:REOutCampFire03:
Post up if you want to join the party!.....stay tuned to this thread for more details on the final schedule :safari-rig:
Schedule: (Trails are Tentative)
Friday:
Friday morning meeting place:
City Market @ 9 AM and leaving at 9:30 AM (Trail still pending.....What do yous want to do????..Speak up or hold your peace)
425 South Main is the City Market, a big parking lot, last minute run into the store, near the gas station. This is on the left hand side if you're coming in from the north.
Lots of options open...lets here them!!!!!(Shafer Trail to Lathrop Canyon and out Potash,
Metal Masher, Steel Bender, ..........What do you what to do????)
Saturday:Kane Creek Canyon Trail
Sunday:Hells Revenge (4x4 play ground)
Base Camp: CAMPSPOT has CHANGED
-We are going to camp down Kane Creek. It is a free area, that will allow for plenty of space, and gets us away from town (which is what we like, right?).
DIRECTIONS
-At McDonalds in town(the only one), there is a light, that road is Kane Creek Blvd. Turn down that road, and follow it until it comes to a "Y" where you will stay left.
-Follow this road awhile, and you will pass some trailers, some camping spots, etc. on the right and left.
-After about 2-3 miles, the road turns into dirt.
-Keep going.
-And going. You will pass "amasa back" aka the cliffhanger trail on the right.
-You should take caution, as this road has some steep cliffs on the sides, and could be a problem if you are one who likes to drive really fast on dirt roads.
-Keep going until you come to a water crossing. It isn't very deep (usually) but it is significant; you will know you have crossed it. (It will MAYBE be 3-4" deep)
-Keep going.
-After another mile or so, there is a sign on the right side of the road that says something like "Camp only in designated areas" or the like.
(We should post a sign right there or something to indicate being on the right path?)
-Keep going, and after coming up a gradual incline, in drops down again, and if you go too far, there is a second water crossing.
-The spot we are shooting for is maybe 30 yards before the second water crossing, on the right. It is nice and open.
alternative plan: If that spot is taken, continue through the 2nd water crossing, and immediately hang a left. There are plenty of good spots back in there.
I am going to try and get GPS coordinates of the spot to post up.
