One of my goals was to run Little Sluice. I'm happy I got to finally do it.

Do you guys have goals for your wheeling? Like a trip you're just dying to do or ???

I have two goals/trips I still want to do. I want to run Wrecking Ball at the Hammers and I want to run some of the trails in Colorado.

I used to wheel a lot. . .

Thinking only about wheeling goals...I'd still like to get to Moab.

What trails are you thinking about running in Colorado? I don't know much about stuff back there, but I've got a place to stay so I may have to add it to the list. 😀

I'd have to investigate it more. I've only seen pictures and never wrote down the names of the trails. There is a good mix of trails there; some are very hard and some are easy and scenic. I think it would be a hoot to run a trail that takes you over 13,000 feet 😯

That's not one of my "must-dos" but I'm sure I'll make it out there some day. There are sooooooo many trails there, you'd have to go back there several times.

Another goal is to find new trails to run. I don't need a hard trail to have fun. Discovering and driving new stuff is very exciting (easy, medium, or hard).

Ya, I want to run those two trails. I liked that you guys tried some new stuff. I wish I would have gone with you. I think I'll stay off of Corral Hollow though lol

We went to Kanab this spring, that kind of whet my appetite for UT. I'd like to get to Moab some time. Colorado would be a fun destination wheeling trip too. I also like the sand dunes. I wouldn't mind going back to the Oregon dunes or maybe Pismo.

Niagra Rim is kind of fun. That was one of the first "named" trails I went on several years ago. Don and I went to the 4x4 In Motion Poker run.

I'd also like to check out the Gold Lake trails. Rob says there is good fishing in those streams.

Isn't there supposed to be some trails near Strawberry (near Angels Camp)?

Oh ya, and I wanna run Swamp Lake.

See, there's pleanty left to discover 😀

Sounds like there are a BUNCH of people wanting to run Moab. Maybe we should get a club trip together.

That would be fun, but I don't think I'll get another 4x4 vacation next year. Teddi says she gets to pick what we do for our next vacation. 😕

lol There a million miles of nothing down there. Perfect for trailer parking! Rob, Larry, and I were sissys and towed down. John is too tough to tow.

We could plan to plan it in the future.

Think I'd tow down.... 37's an anemic 4 cylinder and 400+ miles of driving doesn't sound too fun 😀

John, in order to avoid confusion maybe you should propose a planned plan for the plan date? That way we won't start planning before the time to plan has arrived.
