Bold Adventure,
Do you have more pics of the tire carrier set up you have on your truck? I like that a lot, but can't find any tire racks.
thank you

Yep, sucks to have to break plans...but it is what it is. Just remember, IT COULD BE WORSE.

Yup, the Health Department basically cut the legs off of a bunch of events by banning all lodging and camping in the areas they control.

EJS has never once been canceled. This is the first time in 53 years they are canceling the event.

The order runs through for 30 days. With the possibility of being extended.

This would give us only 15 days notice to inform you if they extend it. I don't want last-minute surprises. I follow this stuff closely for my job, I can tell you, this is going to last for 3 months.

A message from our nearby San Juan County Sheriff in Colorado...Home to Jeep and Power Wagon 4x4 trails such as Black Bear Pass, Engineer Pass, Imogene Pass, etc...

Just 3 days ago the State Highway 191 to Green River, Utah was blocked late at night within the Moab region by the Utah State Patrol on my daughter's return trip to Colorado. She took an alternate route, but was immediately followed by Utah law enforcement for countless miles. My Power Wagon was similarly followed just 2 weeks earlier by a K9 vehicle whom was intentionally waiting for my re-passing on a steep down grade. Both trips required traveling through the entire state for personal business. They were not recreational trips. It appears that the law enforcement around the Moab region is actively working on any probable reasons to stop a vehicle. Our vehicles were not stopped. I saw a pickup that was being searched near Thompson Springs, Utah. The cost and time of fixing your dismantled Power Wagon after a probable cause search is your loss.

Our town is kind of doing something similar. Every spring tons of people from all over come up here to walleye fish in our river. we closed all the landings. It's the benefit of living in a small down. We can do a pretty good job at keeping this virus **** out.

Got to wait seven days for the county to ratify this unicorporated area as a disaster emergency due to the lack of emergency response to cope with the virus. Being geographically isolated has its benefits. People from all over are coming up here too. They aren't staying home as is required by the Governor's lockdown of Colorado. However, it's fairly to extremely remote and so it's not like they can get too close to anyone else even if they wanted to.

Yeah I'm not a crazy person by any means but seriously it's not hard to figure out. Everyone go get stocked up, be thrifty, was your hands, cover your mouth and this will pass. Seriously it's not that hard to figure out. we just need to suck it up for a couple months.

Still seeing a fairly normal amount of 4x4 `s heading for the trailheads here....on the other hand we don`t usually see heavy usage this early in the year. Will be interesting to see when we get into prime 4x4 season...
Locally the rumor is the April 1st opening of the lake (Big Bear Lake) will be pushed out to April 7th, not going to pay my dock/boat permit fees until the lake is actually open, otherwise I`ll never get my money (several hundred dollars) back if they keep the lake closed!

Since I reside within the closest Colorado county to Moab, it's practically in our backyard via nearby Gateway, Colorado (58 miles from Moab). Times have changed. Hopefully, it will get better soon.

Rick Ram-jet...Moved my 1978 powerboat from Big Bear Lake to Colorado in 2005. The fees became too high for my family to keep it there. It was used and docked there since it was new. I enjoyed the recreational activities around that area since the late 50's.

GM, yes I agree about the costs being too high (welcome to Calif, lol), depending on how many boats I permit (2 or 3) the combined dock/boat permit cost per year is between $530.00 and $640.00
It`s not all bad (we`re on the lake)....I`m on N. Shore and there are several trail heads about 5min from my house! Our family goes back to the early 60`s, my dad (was a contractor) built our cabin around 1962, too bad it was sold before I was old enough to use it.
I think we`ll be leaving this overpriced/overtaxed sheeple state as soon as possible, we`re fed up!

The government can go **** themselves. That is beyond obscene.

Every single person working in the supply chain for groceries is a quiet testimony to the acceptable risk of the economy over health. They are not being forced.

Every person forced by the State out of their own financial security for a "greater good" sounds so much like Communism.

Being forced to stay in our homes? You put no one, not a single person in danger when you're alone in your vehicle.

Oh, excuse me, rescue people. ********. **** these PEOPLE.

Whatever. End of rant.

Are you referring to the same government that sent 90 percent of the steel industry and 70 percent of the pharmaceutical industry to communist China that also supplies all the raw goods to make drugs for the Mexican cartel? But then wouldn’t let you buy a cigar from Cuba because they are communist! Government wants the economy to tank so they can go back to having a puppet president in January
