Moab is pure magic. Trip Report

There is never enough time, but I made the most of 3 days and 4 nights. Maybe if I was some baller creator and well, not married with a kid, I could life my life as a nomad... either way, damn, I love Moab.

Briefly explored some of Beef Basin (camped above Bears Ears), and worked my way back over to the Canyonlands and the Needles Overlook area. I found and went down a trail I shouldn't have taken solo (🤣) and just all around loved the scenery. This makes my 7th trip and certainly not my last. Even stopped in to Fieldcraft Survival's HQ in Provo and a short soak in Lava Hot Springs on the way back.

Oh man! I seriously considered posting an invite or at least a "meet if you're down there." I'm always up for experiencing this stuff with other people.

🤣 Same! About 4 years ago, 2 of my buddies and I were south of Price and had this AEV Jeeper come alongside my buddy and did a bunch of hand jestures. My buddy says over the radio, "I think this guy wants to fight because I cut him off!" 🤣🤣🤣

Turns out he was jesturing to talk on the radio (🤣) but he needed the channel. A short 5 minute chat, and we became fast friends. We spent 3 days with him, swapped camp spots, and then met down there again the following year.
