90F on the valley floor when we departed, 20 minutes later 39F and cold rain.
Encountered several truck loads of GPS equipped Hounds released to chase bears from the area.

Last year the group camped at South 40 RV park. Great Park, huge nice pull thrus but dog unfriendly and that led to some heated disputes with our members so we moved to Lizzie and Charlies RV park for this years run.
Nice park, great people but the spaces are way to tight and awkward to get into.

It was a good trip.
One day we all trailed it from Marysvale to Beaver Utah.
To far for a family group.
The guy that organized it got pretty worked up when he got confused on the route but everyone had fun.

I up graded to 14 ply steel trailer tires and in the last 400 miles they have been great.
Was ablevto find them in a 16" low profile H load rating 85.

Now enjoying a run drink at a Tiki Bar in Vegas China Town.

very cool! We just got back from a dualsport ride up there. We stayed at Candymountain Resort in their converted train cars. Worked out great, didn't have to mess around with the moho which makes for a quick trip from SD. The train cars are pretty new so they are clean and comfortable, just make sure you get one with AC! The restaurant there is not bad...not great but not bad. Do yourself a favor (if you haven't already) and rent a 50" razor for the 50" trails....lots or great scenery, water crossings, etc on the narrow track. There are more trails in that area than you could ever ride in a lifetime.
