We have a schedule laid out with various levels of difficulty. There's moderate trails scheduled everyday for the mildly modified and a couple days where we can split up into two groups so guys that desire to can hit the harder stuff. You get to decide what you want to do. There shouldn't be a shortage of experienced people in either group.

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.)

The Red Stone Inn is already fully booked, we will need a new rally point for the event, I think folks should look for their own accommodations if needed based on their arrival time, and plan to meet at perhaps a super market, walmart or something with a large parking lot in the AM to find each other.
