This is starting to make me think I should go to Moab and not Cali................
Getting there the last day of Cruise Moab?http://www.cruisemoab.com/
May 11th: Trail 4 - Metal MasherMay 12th: Trail 5 - Behind the RocksI would strongly suggest not running Behind the Rocks on the last day. It is by far your most risky trail and it's very remote on the far end making it a very long trip out, especially with a limping rig. Going back down Pritchett isn't a good option so you're pretty committed once you do the first couple obstacles. I always do it on the second to last day to maximize the wheeling prior and leaving a day for recovery.
Metal Masher is a shorter day going getting you back to camp earlier and Widow Maker Hill is the only big risk that I would anticipate Andrew (Rob if he goes) being the only rig with a non-winch chance in hell of making. It's a long wheelbase and steep departure angle required crazy tall wall that'll scare you backing down. The primary thing that could go against Andrew is his width. Being narrow like Rob has, in the past, made it possible to skirt past the most abrupt part of the second ledge that is what stops almost everyone. Links will benefit on this one.
Elephant Hill is a great final day if you're willing to have a long final day. Chances of breaking are minimal. We also learned on the last trip that a permit is required and the group size is limited to four, I think, and then a delay between groups is mandated. We didn't have an issue but you should reserve ahead to make sure.

"This is a trail that Chris is hard up on. I could really go either way on it. There are trails I'd rather do to be honest but he is set on doing this trail. If we do it I'll give widow maker a shot. " SqWaDooshIts the only trail on the list that I have not seen already.I am open to other ideas, just wanted to mix in something new for this trip.I know there are lots of trails that I have not done. Suggestions?
The Tacoma is for You Andrew, Oh and the Bet is off, I think You can make it, Ha ha
We will see. I am not that long of a wheelbase. My Taco's wheelbase has been shortened to 113". Will be 115" after link job. Still might not be enough. Besides you were trying to make a bet on White Knuckle. I'm not trying to bet on any of it. If I make it up that is enough victory for me.
This is a beast and in scale more impressive than White Knuckle by far.
My wife says widow maker sounds like an obstacle I should definitely attempt. I have a feeling my life insurance payout is about to mysteriously increase.
Now that Sir, Is saying something.
I'll take this into consideration. The thought is to do our most difficult trail on the last day. I would hate to have someone break on it and then miss out on other trails.
We are not running Pritchett. Only BTR.
I don't think I would have the ball the go for white knuckle with any significant momentum. The potential to fall off to the right would be more than I could deal with. Now...... if I had a cage that would be a different story.Look what I found, GO ROB!You got this Andrew!Please note this was 2011 its not the same today. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ril2lU8u9zQ
