Moab 2024 - Hell's Revenge, Dead Horse Point S.P., Long Canyon
|
|
| South on US-191 towards Moab |
| Hell's Revenge trail - start on a fin. |
| Keep the tires on the two-track-black and all
is well. |
| An
obstacle called Lionsback (search the name for some videos). An iconic
obstacke - now closed to the public. I didn't realize it was right at
the entrance to Hell's Revenge. It's tall - much taller than the fin at
the start of Hell's Revenge. Once on top, a multi-point u-turn is
needed - then back down. |
| To
the right is the easy way up. Let's go for straight up today. Nope -
not with open differentials. Compressor on with the air system filled -
lock the differentials - up it goes. |

| A nice day! |
| An optional obstacle called Hell's Gate. Ben
wishes to drive it. There's a line. |
| The last in the line - a buggy with a big
motor. Three, short, loud BRAAP's and it was up. |
| Ben
started out and flopped onto the driver's side. With the external tube
protection no body damage involved. The mirror on the driver's side was
the only broken item. Some scrapes on the back end tube protection. |
| How
to get upright. In the end, start the motor (lots-o-smoke), put it in
reverse, turn towards passenger side, back up. It righted itself. |

were a general green glow in the northeast sky |
