Thanks to Ron and Jim for posting the photos.  Wish we could have been there, but this helps. :)   We'll be seeing many of you in Moab.

Ron

We are looking forward to seeing you gys in Moab too. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Ron,

I'm sure we'll be doing the White Rim run. I remember seeing the trail from Dead Horse Point and wondering what it would be like to drive it. :)

Did it last year starting from below shaffer trail.  This year we will go in reverse and end at the same point we started last year.

Ron,

If there's time we could then climb Shafer Trail and come back through Long Canyon! :) Boy, that would be a long day.

Ron,

What is the distance and expected drive time for your version of the White Rim Trail?

Last year we departed Portal a little after 06:30 and got back in time for happy hour.  It is a long day but well worth it.  The one thing we were not aware of last year till we made the trip is that there are restrooms convienently spaced all along the trail.   I expect the route this year will take about the same time.  Distance in miles??? I havent a clue ;D  PLan to depart Portal 06:50 sharp.

If Terry can make it, and he did, any body can make it.  Early morning. ;D

Oh, that's what the noise was in the middle of the night.  I thought it might have been a bad dream.  ;D

Ron,

The only time I was up that early at Moab was the time Jerry decided to work on my roof antenna at the crack of dawn.  I thought we were having an earthquake.  ;D

Good idea Phil.  We will just ask Jerry to run across your roof the morning of the White Rim trail trip. ;D
