Back from Moab

[DORKIEST@domain.elided]

Made it back from Moab, with only a few problems.
On Sat. watched a stock scout slide sideways in the wedge on Poison Spider.
Sunday, broke my Pass. side front axle U-joint, no loud bang. Made the rest 
of the trail a little more challenging.  flooded on the ledge of the launch 
pad, made it up on second try.  Golden Crack, its all in the right line, and 
where in the crack you go across.
Monday, 3-D, with Rob D. First dirt hill was a challenge in 3 wheel drive.
Tuesday, Cliff Hanger, got to use my winch, next year will be rated from 4 to 
4+
Tuesday Night went to Potato Salad Hill, watch one blazer make it to the top, 
then almost roll, backed down  Then a CJ, went up, got sideways, lifted the 
front tire, then went forward acouple inches, the front tire lowered, the 
rear tire lifted. His buddies went and stood on the front bumper.  I was at 
the top, I asked if he wanted me to winch him up, or straighten him up.  He 
said no.  Oh, did I mention he was drinking.  He went alittle further up, 
with his other drunk buddy telling him to turn even more sideways.  I almost 
got to see a jeep roll.  He asked for the winch.  My winch did a good job, 
pulled him right up.  
Lots of roll overs, great weather up to Weds.

Found a '73 travelette in Silver City N.M., was a trade in on a new truck, 
the dealer never picked it up, two months latter, the "owner" said I could 
have it, Called today the dealer wants $1000 for it, good luck.
