AT's. Mud Terrains are rarely (in my opinion) really necessary in Utah's terrain. I am not that familiar with TX terrain, but if you really have a lot of mud, then go with a mud. I had BFG AT's in the 33x10.50 flavor on my old FJ 62.

Perhaps one of the best true 4 season tents out there. The 2 doors is a real bonus. Go ahead and buy it...you'll love it!

Great thread! Nice to see what you were up to before we met up. I've got to get out on the road again...summer can't come quick enough! Let me know when you are back through SLC.

I wouldn't take a trailer over Elephant Hill, which is the way I came in. If you came up over Elk Ridge or Cottonwood Wash you would be fine. Wood is always a good idea, but be careful...there is a TON of dry brush that could easily torch the area. Pretty quick here there won't be any need for...

Ed, we will have to do that for sure. I will be up in -your- neck of the woods in June... Just go. Don't worry about all of the 'stuff' and just get out there. Kids don't care...

Fantastic-I wish there were more of these types of events here in UT.

South of Canyonlands. Beautiful area, but REALLY cold last weekend (elevation).

Last weekend...Elk Ridge, Utah. It feels good to get her out there.

Oh yes...I exchanged some funny texts with Mr. Observant driving south out of town...and I saw that on FB. Small world. I was on my way to Beef Basin with my dad, brother in law, and a buddy of mine. I am sorting through the pics now to do a little photo essay on that trip.

Thank You. That means a lot to me. Part of what makes this 'overland' business so fun is sharing the experiences...so many reports here have inspired me to see new places. Yessss!!! I am still learning... Thank you for allowing me to geek out. My 7th graders don't seem to get as excited about...

Thank you, I am just a novice, trying to learn the art. I have a Nikon D90. Thanks! Great to meet you and your brother! Thanks for putting up with my kids... We -do- have notes to compare...soon! Yes, the Scepter can came in handy. Thanks for the compliments... I think I am teaching my...

The final chapter... That afternoon back at camp, we had KC OConnor and his lovely companion, Mia as well as Kristian and Alyssa stop by to say hello. We ran back up to the ruins and chatted for awhile before they each went their separate ways. With Easter coming, coupled with a significant...

After a leisure evening in camp, we were joined by a longtime friend Nate, and his friend Nate, Jonathan D. and his crew just down the wash, as well as Joseph. Nate's friend, Nate was on a much needed break from completing his residency at Primary Children's Hospital. Jonathan came over from...

Location: 20 minutes from where you and I camped in Nov. My pops didn't come on this one, but we just got back from a weekend in Beef Basin. More to come.

Snake on the wall above the ruins. After working our way back to the vehicles, we were guided by Teaaron to the Snake House Ruins, a.k.a. the River House Ruins. Several large groups of river runners with children in tow descended upon the ruins as we were there. Once it was apparent they would...

Once up near Monarch Cave, I worked my way slowly through the canyon to experience everything as best I could. I find myself in awe at the remnants of this civilization still here after so many seasons in the harsh desert. At the trailhead we shared a brief, "hello" with three gentlemen...

Thank you- very kind.

Once we were back in the saddle again, we checked our maps and found we were getting close. We found the staging area and readied ourselves for the little hike up canyon to Monarch Cave. At this point, Olivia found the hardside of a rock against the side of her head. Of course mommy's love...
