Getting the Wheeling Fever
I just finished the trip report for my adveture through southern Utah and the Grand Staircase-Escanante Monument. We drove 114+ miles, all off highway, and didnt see another vehicle! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Southen Utah Expedition!

The trip is broken into 3 parts.

Hey Scott!

What a great trip. Amazing photos too. Even more amazing is that if you've been to Bryce, Zion or Dixie you'll know that Scott's (or anyone else's for that matter) photos can hardly begin to capture the awe inspiring landscape.

I haven't had the chance to explore Escalante or the Grand Staircase area yet, but I can't believe you took your new TuRD through Wesses Canyon. You must have really good insurance!

I hope everyone here that is interested in Expedition Travel has taken the time to look over Scott's web site. Great stuff from a lucky SOB!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Creeper for the kind words <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I didnt know Wesses canyon had a reputation <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

There is very little room for error in there, and if the surface was muddier it could have made for an even more challenging effort. If you looked at the video, it was my wife who drove the canyon. She loves the adventure as much as I do <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

In all 114 miles that we spent in the monument we didnt see another car. Now that is hard to do on a weekend in the US.

Well, not really my job. I am also a partner in a technology consulting company, which is what pays the bills <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It also gives me a flexible schedule which is the key to the whole thing...

I did start Expeditions West as a LLC for the OHV training I do for the state of AZ and Land Rover North America. I also have several sponsors that really help with the cost of modifications. All of the money I make doing training and consulting goes back into trips <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
