Project-JK Moab Easter Jeep Safari 2008 - DAY 2
 

After having breakfast at the Pancake Haus, toad and bullfrog went off to hook up with papabear for the day while SDMF, WOLette and I went off to run Steel Bender. Here are some of the pics SDMF and I took on the trail today....

Some of the rock slabs make the trail feel like it's paved with concrete...

Getting ready to drop off the most nerve racking ledges on the trail and only because there is a steep drop off on the passenger side upon landing...

Towards the end of the trail and thank goodness for it too as the snow was starting to make it difficult to find/follow...

Fantastic pictures. Just what I needed for my Cabin Fever. Can't make EJS but we will be in Moab mid April. Maybe the weather will be nice and warm by then and the trails less crowded. I'm sorry we won't get a chance to meet eye to eye with the forum members this week. Have lots of fun and keep those pictures coming. Thanks.

Awesome pictures!!!! Wish I was there with you instead of here doing what I've been doing! I will continue to live through you guys and your photos.

Man, Utah is beautiful! Nice shots! That last drop off looks particularly hairy. How far was the drop on the passenger side?

I agree, might of had to change my pants after that one.:eek2:

Cool pics! Looks like you got off the trail just in time.

I had to turn mine around and inside out twice each after looking at that! :gak:

holy crapola that is steep. my better half would beat me stupid(er) after i drove off of that.:yup::eek2:

Awsome pics, I am sooo jealous right now.

Believe me, that drop off is every bit as hairy as it looks in the pics and even more so in person. Mostly because of the psychological factor of the ledge on the right. Although, standing on your brakes with your ass on off your seat and still sliding down a rock face is kind of freaky too :eek2:
