Awesome trip report, Bill! A few of us from our local club were just in Moab with Bill Burke for trail leadership training a few weeks ago. On our last day, we, too, crossed the Delores river and took the side trails on to Rosegarden Hill and came out through Onion Creek. What a hoot! I hope I can remember all of those side trails on that particular run; fantastic scenery! You gotta love his parting gifts, too!! Thanks for sharing your photos and memories. Yes, Moab truly rocks.

Very Cool Bill!!!! I want to ask who's in this Disco: http://www.houstonlandroverclub.com/photos/moab_2004/DSCF0687.jpg ??? I would love to see a closer look at his roof rack, and the way it attaches to the roof bars. Thanks Petros

Petros: That's Kai's. He's a member of D-Web too. He made the rack specifically for this trip. Here's his bio page if you want to email him: http://houstonlandroverclub.com/mp_kai_dussling.html (his email address is on there...) |

It is. That's Josh's dog... he has three of them: "Dixie", "Dudley" and "Dax". She'd point long enough for me to get the camera turned on, then she'd stop before I could snap the picture. Bitch. Damned if I saw any pheasant. I saw dust. Did see a long-horned something or another in the wild. Rabbit, I did see a rabbit. We also saw those deer and sheep, but no pheasant. |

Bill, ggrreeaatt documentation of what must have been a great trip. Yes, Moab rocks! Any good trails down Texas way? Come further west to California for your next foray. We've got more variety than Moab. Ray |

In Texas, Barnwell Mountain is a great place to wheel with an awesome group running it. Here is a few more places to wheel in Texas.
