Needles District & Moab Trails 2011 Pictures

[dzJeepChic 2,433]

The Canyonlands Needles District and Moab Trails trip was a great success. I'm going to do a trip report with more photos, but here are a few pictures & videos to get this thread started until I get that done.

 

The folks on this trip were a great group, diverse yet sharing a desire to explore, everyone added something to the dynamics making the entire trip a pleasure to be on. Special thank you to Goose and The Gear for the GPS and route finding help, and to Maddogjeeper and Randy for communications support, help with spotting, and for bringing the party to the campground and helping maintain morale amongst travel-weary adventurers. You guys are valued members of this forum and the trips we take. Your above-and-beyond attitudes and actions are fully appreciated!

Great pictures you guys, thanks for posting them. Dennis, do you mind if I steal some of Clifford to post on my build thread?

 

I want to write a trip report so folks know what all we did up there, but I have to do that between getting my work done so it's taking me a little while.
