Alright, tomorrow I'm putting in for the Moab week. It shouldn't be a problem since it's not a desireable time of the year
I have no problem with white rim, it seems to be a really nice easy trail that's basically a gravel road with lots of amazing scenery. It's probably a great first day trip. Given a lack of other options I say we do this for the first day.
With that said, I'd like to see a day that is at least as difficult as the hardest parts of Tecore. From my reading there's plenty of options available. This really needs to be posted in the extremely near future.
Rory modified things a bit and I like his version better
ORTB.com 5year anniversary event!
MOAB, UT
Sept-20th-24th 2014 - 4 nights & 5 days
We are planning a event to celebrate this milestone of our forum and it's members!
This cost nothing to attend other than paying your own way like any other trip. We will post how/where to get permits and costs as soon as we can, just getting these dates out here so anyone who wants to attend has time to plan and save, we know this is a big trip for most members.
The event will begin the morning of Saturday September 20th, meeting at The Red Stone Inn at 8 am Sept 20th (it's one of the few places that isn't several hundred a night and it's available on the 19th.)

working on multiple itineraries for easy or more challenging trails. We will post these up when they are ready.
