RE: Sept 1 to 14, 2008 ~ U.S.A ~ San Juans, Moab and SW

Hi guys,

made it up through Moab already, and I'm camping in the La Salle Mountains - no phone service but broadband!

Dutch, the fuel in Greenriver is really expensive, they are trying to raking it in $4.19 for unleaded - Cedar City area $3.65, Moab at the Philips 66 just $3.95!

The temps in Moab around 6:00 PM = 102F it is cooling off now with help from a little rain shower.

Brent, sorry I didn't call you before I went into the woods -should be up early and drive towards Naturita, try to get in touch then.

Karl

RE: Sept 1 to 14, 2008 ~ U.S.A ~ San Juans, Moab and SW

Yesterday I was lucky enough to join the men in G's for an all day tour of the stunning San Juans in SW Colorado. We ventured out fairly early and took the Black Bear Pass trail into Telluride CO. We ate lunch at the base of the waterfall on the east end of the canyon then preoceeded over Imogene Pass back to the campground in Ouray CO. The weather was spectacular, the company excellent as always. It was a great adventure!

Who is all in your group ? I recognize Fernweh and Dutch, but see some New Mexico and Tennessee plates in the group.  Brent, did you take your Jeep?

Looks like y'all having a good time.

I rode with Karl, the Jeep stayed at the campground. The black G with black wheels is James from NM (burqueDOKA) and the silver G is Danny from Tennesee (drgork). James' friend Rick also came along driving his FJ Cruiser, so we had five vehicles.

Thanks again Brent for spending the time with us - hope it was not all white knuckle holding-on with me on the controls

what a great trip, wonderful company, good food, and just gorgeous surroundings.........

We are now at our second round - driving into the Maze District (Canyon Land National Park, Utah) with a resting stop in Green River, UT tonight.

Here are some more images from the last days.

Way cool.  I look forward to attending the next adventure in those parts.  Wow, the scenery looks spectacular.  Nice little water crossings, looks like your suspension is just what the doctor ordered for this trip.

I am with you guys in spirit.
