Going to start compiling our trip plans here. Anyone with knowledge please feel free to comment and offer suggestions.
We anticipate leaving early AM 9/3/20 and returning to the SC area loosely 9/14/20 range.
Itinerary:
Day 1 9/3-Drive to Kansas City area (940 Miles, ~15 hours towing). This is a loose milestone, and conditions will determine actual distance traveled. Anticipated leave time of 6AM to arrive by 9PM EST. (8PM Local Time).
Day 2 9/4-Sleep day one off, Drive to Leadville, CO area (700 Miles, ~12 hours towing). Also a loose milestone. Anticipated leave time of 8AM to arrive by 10PM CST. (9PM Local Time).
Day 3 9/5- Drive to Holy Cross trail access (Blodget Campground). Wheel Holy Cross trail (~4 Hours) then load back up for the decent to Moab (285 Miles, ~6 hours towing).
Day 4 9/6-Rest day. Will be much needed. Explore town of Moab and hit trails close to town.
Day 5-10 9/7-9/10-Moab Trails (TBD)
Day 11 9/11 - Black Bear Pass and any other trails there is time for in area
Day 12-14 9/12-9/14- Drive back to SC.
The initial portion of the trip is an aggressive schedule. I have allowed myself time off 9/3-9/15 in case we need to modify days. All of the above dependent on current state of the US...
Group Traveling:
Myself, Shannon
Todd, Madeline
Jimbo, Dale
Deano is a maybe
Not discouraging anyone from joining but would like to keep trail groups small so we can cover ground. Would be cool to have a couple more rigs to join us. I am currently lining up lodging for Moab. Will more than likely be a Condo from Air BNB with a garage. I intend on driving the CJ most trailheads. Taking the RZR also and plan for a dedicated RZR day to cover some ground. Anyone w/o one will likely rent one this day.
Other than Holy Cross and some Moab stuff, I don't plan on this being even a remotely "hardcore" trip. Holy Cross is not hardcore either but will likely be the tougher of trails covered.
I really have to finish this CJ so I can get some seat/trail time on it!!! MOTIVATION!!
