Good on you for getting out there in July. A less sweaty man than I you must be, sir. Jealous in my armchair here.

So Roger, since your mind is still fresh from doing the White Rim Trail, do you see any problems pulling your Kamparoo thru the Trail?

There will be some tricky spots, but I think it is doable. (I am basing that on mine which is slightly modified with a lock-n-roll and a larger tire)

Another wonderful trip report. You never fail to impress, thank you!
Thank you. I appreciate that.

X2. I'll be there with the single speed too if something like that gets planned.
I think it would be a riot to bike it. Just coming down those switchbacks on Shaffer would let you know what you were in for.

Phenomenal views!!!

I wish scenery like that were not so far away from us here in MI.

Come out here and see it! It really is great for your soul.

I have lived here my entire life to date, and I -still- haven't seen it all.

It was amazingly cool those first two days...the last night was horribly hot, much of what I expected the entire trip to be like. The AC in the cruiser works well too:ylsmoke:

Thank to shear a photos from a trip


Thanks!

If there is any way you can fit an extra day in there somewhere and camp at either Murphy or White Crack, or just anywhere spaced out between your camps that you already have, you'll thank yourself.

Yeah, I tried for both of those but they were already full. :( I really wanted to do White Crack in the middle. Bummer.
Anyway, we will just have a long day between the two.

Any recommendations on where to stay in Moab the night before and after? Don't need anything fancy. Thinking about cabins at the Slickrock Campground.

Awesome!

If that's okay with the author, I am nominating this as the first contestant for the trip of the month report...

You definitely have my vote for trip of the month!

Forgive me for being a total newb:eek:... but after living in the Big Bend of Texas for a few years, i have a great desire to travel to the deserts of the west. This looks like a great trip. How many miles off pavement did you travel?
