Today's ride was on Kane Creek Road, going to Hurrah Pass and Chicken Corner.
It was to prove, I'm told, a fun but challenging ride, for all concerned and some mechanical issues for one of the riders.
I had to bail out of the ride early on due to work issues and would not rejoin the group until after 5PM when I went looking for them as they'd not returned.
Turns out there were several mechanical issues, all dealt with, that caused delays.
All the rigs that went out, came back so we'll call it a successful ride.

When I did find the group, they were on their way back to Moab, and I rode for a bit with the last three rigs to make sure all was well. I then told them to forge ahead and I was going to meander a bit for pictures.
Kane Creek Road is a beautifully scenic canyon road! I'm definitely going to have to go back one day to do the whole thing. There's also several RV campgrounds on the way to Hurrah Pass but no cell coverage that I could find.
Some of the scenery I saw coming back:
Once Tim L. has had a chance to process the pictures he took, I'll add them with his permission to this blog posting. It's hard work for him, leading the ride, tracking riders AND taking pictures!

Beautiful sunrise photo! And the nice roads in the canyons look pretty cool.
Another topic. Do you feel comfortable leaving the rig in a parking lot when going on short hikes?
Thanks RichardM, I’ve left the rig several times in trailheads with no issue,,,,all the valuable items are either locked up in the trunk or in my hiking bag. I usually leave the boots under the sidecar and the riding gear in the tub under cover.
Beautiful pictures! Thank you for sharing the trip. We’re headed to that area next month and hope to enjoy these spots.
Thanks CP, it should be a lot of fun.
Dom, your pics are leaving me speechless, it's getting better with every posting.
Danke SonjaM!
added some great photos from Tim Laughlin to the posting.
