Seems I got busy with Cruise Moab this Spring, as my last visit up to the cabin was in March. So I headed up this past Thursday after work. Sure felt great to get back up there! After a quick bite, took a drive to the Wilderness Boundary. First stopping by the pond in the Upper Meadows. The road through out the property is slowly being improved as the loggers make further progress. A quick stop at the Wilderness Boundary to Mt. Blue Sky (formerly known as Mt. Evans) before a stop at my favorite tree- first visit for the year:)! I then spent the rest of the evening soaking in the pond. Back at the cabin, I dozed off in a comfy chair.
The next morning I woke to overcast skies and a light dusting of snow.
Definitely needed:).
Always love these views of Mt. Blue Sky (formerly Mt. Evans).
Another Cruise Moab in the books! And man what a good time! This year was a special one as it was the 25th anniversary for the event. It was great to see so many old friends and lots of new folks, all super excited to be at the event- myself included!
As usual, a few of us headed out early to hang out and enjoy the desert. This year, we spent some time checking out the Dolores Triangle area (North of the Dolores River and East of the Colorado). Was fun checking out some new areas. Afterwards, we headed to a camp outside Cisco, UT for two nights while also checking out the Dome Plateau trail- another new area for me:). Back in Moab, I found myself pre running Poison Spider Mesa with my pals Jackson and Drew before diving fully into Cruise Moab. I rode along for the Arches and Wipe Out Hills runs. Thursday nights Vendor Night was a blast and super flattered to have sold out on this years Cruise Moab poster! The dinner and raffle was a blast as always. Then Saturday I took a personal day and checked out the April Action Car Show.
A wonderful week filled with great friends and good times. A great way to kick off the wheeling season:)! Here are some of my favorite pics from the week. Enjoy!
“It’s all about home. You know that. That’s where were all headed. Where we want to be. Where ever it may be. It’s all about having them places where you can feel it. You can feel something come through, something shining through. Something that takes you away from the world of problems, the world worry, the world of care. A place where you can leave all the bullshit behind. Just for a few minutes. When you find that place, you hold on to it.”

Passing through Colorado National Monument to get to our first nights camp. For all the years that I’ve passed through Grand Junction, 2022 would be my first visit to the park. Some wonderful views.
Chasing that setting sun to camp. My pal Martin and I were enjoying this dirt road.
