Fins 'n' Things

Yesterday I got to play at Poison Spider Mesa. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about the Jeep's capabilities as well as my own. Today, it was Gwen's turn to push the limits.

She picked Fins 'n' Things from our "Guide to Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails" book by Charles A. Wells. It's been a great guide for us with plenty of details to keep us going in the right direction. Wells describes this trail as "difficult. Steep slickrock climbs and descents… unbelievable fun and fantastic scenery." He was right about the steepness, but Gwen did a great job handling everything the trail had to offer. There were a few white knuckle moments, but it was an incredible experience -my wife kicks ass!
