|
|
Went on a weekend trip through San Rafael Swell with some friends. We started at Ferron, went down Coal Wash, through Eva Conover, down Eagle Canyon, past Swasey's Cabin, under I-70, up Buckhorn Draw, over to the MK Tunnels, and back to Castle Dale. Total mileage was 176.8, all on dirt.
Some pics for your viewing pleasure.
And a little homemade map of the track.

Nice shots. :nod: Them's my stompin' grounds, so I recognized most of those places.

That must be the Fuller Bottom crossing. I was there a few weeks ago (coming in from the south like you did) and chickened out. My truck is so long and the dropoff into the river was steep enough that I thought I'd get hung up. Besides, the San Rafael was flowing a bit more then, even had a few small chunks of ice float by.
Looks like you all had no problems. Did you just cross back over and head south after you crossed the first time? |

If you liked that one, you should like these also. Same guy, but in his Scout. The Scout is out of action while awaiting a new radiator (after the last roll), so he bought that 4-runner to wheel in the meantime.

Yup, Fuller Bottom. We just went to check out the crossing, and found a Boy Scout troop. Then went back to camp. I tried to cross the river last year in May, and it was at least 5 feet deep in the middle. I wasn't quite prepared to make a crossing that deep. |

Ummm i think it's time to take the keys away from Eric.
that kids a menace.
looks like a good time, it's unfortunate your camera likes to take so many photos of those old scouts, especially w/ rover porn around. |

| Cool pics of the Old scouts.. I like seeing the old timers out there in action. A buddy of mine in high school had a fetish with those things and always had at least two up on blocks in his yard. Yep, good old Northern Michigan for ya :lol8: |

Cool pics of some Scouts, no doubt! Didn't see any "old" ones though? In fact, it looks like they all have roll-up windows! That would make them "new" Scouts in my book :mrgreen: .
