Jayson gets a little spotting advice while dropping down.
Our friends Mike and Angela from SoCal.
Picture Frame Arch.
La Sal Mountains in the background.
Descending on our way to the obstacle named, "White Knuckle Hill".
Wilbur creeps down the 8ft near vertical drop off called White Knuckle Hill (It looks much worse in the pic upstream of dstack going down).

Thanks guys.
Come on up Mark. We're a hospitable group here, and there are some terrific trails in the area, both for bigger rigs such as yours, as well as many tamer ones for those new to the forum and wheeling. Make sure to give us several weeks as a heads up, as we don't tend to be the most spontaneous bunch of folks. 
Hopefully this year I can make another trip out to the Huntsville area and do some wheelin with you guys. My family enjoyed the short trip we had last year out there. It was more of a weekend getaway when I came last time, next time I come would love to get together and do more than just hang out at a restaurant.

2nd Day
On the 2nd day, we went to Arches National Park in the morning and then in the afternoon went to Area BFE to wheel with fellow members of JK-Forum.
At the park with the La Sal Mountains in the background.
Delicate Arch.
Note the double arches just left of center.
Interesting rock formations all over the park.
JK truck. Met the owners from FL (elderly man and woman) when we went to pick up our registration packets at the arena. He bought the "truck" from some guy who super customizes rigs for his clients - said he was contractually obligated to say that it would sell for $120K although he also said he was allowed to state that that's not what he paid. We guessed maybe $80-85K is what he had in it, though that was just pure speculation on our part.
Entering Area BFE for the JK-Forum ride.
Organizing into three large groups for the ride. The former MBRP rig in the background had a tough time in Moab getting over obstacles this trip. Will share more details when we meet up for lunch some day.
Extreme 4x4 was preparing some camera "hang lines" for an episode there at the park. Ian was there mingling with folks also.
