Easy Run Group:
( @Neal A. Tew @Charles Drives Things @digitalhobbit ?)

Proposed Friday Run:
Willow Springs, Salt Valley, Tower Arch, Eye of the Whale, exit through Arches NP

Proposed Saturday Run:
Shafer, White Rim, Lathrop Canyon, back track to Potash Rd

These routes are largely in Arches and Canyonlands NP. This will require a park pass. Your best option at this late date for an annual pass is probably a visit to REI. I would call first. A combined SE UT pass is available here: Canyonlands National Park Site Pass in Utah - Recreation.gov

ALSO, the Saturday's run to Lathrop will traverse part of the famous White Rim Trail. This requires a day use permit. We need to be online at 8 AM Friday to acquire said pass because the numbers are limited. The option is WHITE RIM ROAD - VEHICLE
great job with the maps Neal thank you

Thanks, @trail_runn4r .

@Charles Drives Things @digitalhobbit

Try these if you have the latest version of OB1. Keep in mind it's going to revert to your present location immediately after showing the track. Shouldn't be a problem once you're in the area.

@digitalhobbit, I will probably already be there as well. We'll have to plan something to do Thursday morning.
Sounds good!

Are you planning to stay at the camping spot we're planning to use as the basecamp for the weekend?

Right now, I have a motel reservation in Moab from Wed to Fri. I figured it would be nice to freshen up and get a good warm shower in between 10 days off camping. ;) But I can also shift things around.

Yes, I do plan to try to secure the camp site Tuesday afternoon.

I'd be happy to set you up with a hot shower at camp if you're interested.

We might want to reconsider listing sliders and armor as requirements. I suspect that combined with early discussion of Metal Masher may have kept some stockers away.

Just learned that Neal had a job related situation that came up and most likely won't be able to make it this week. That means that the first arrivals to camp will likely be those of us that get there on
Thursday afternoon. We will still have the easier trail runs as both Charles and Carlo are willing to lead them.

There is a pass required if you plan to run either Fins and Things or Hells Revenge with the group. It's available at the entrance gate to the Sand Flats Recreation area on our way in. They are $5/day or $10/week if you are staying longer. I recall they were only taking credit cards the last two times I visited.

Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear you can't make it, Neal. And thanks Charles and Carlo for volunteering to lead those trails instead.

Glad you all made it to camp!

I'll meet you in the morning. What time are we planning to head out?
Sorry I didn't see this until we got home. As you know, internet was so spotty. It was great meeting you Mirko and look forward to wheeling with you again. Next time, maybe something a bit tamer. If you IM me your email address, I'll send you an invite to the Google Photos page.
