someone had to go out there and take pics :ROFLMAO: There's no better spot to get pics of the switchbacks below :)

I did have pockets full of phones taking pics.

Edit: logged in from my phone and added pics

OSHA sees that and they’re gonna be all over somebody. 😉

That looks like Shaffer Trail!
Good eye Scott! Shaffer it is.

At work I’m “The Face of Safety” guy….. every time I have a meeting with Health and Safety I’m sure to slip this in somewhere 😂 and yes my oh so not impressed Mother was present when that was taken😂

Last day at Moab we went looking for arches and places even Yeller hadn't been.
Dellenbaugh tunnel was a cool trail.

We hit Fins n Things. My first time there. That was fun. It was almost a disaster after I forgot to engage my front axle on a steep drop and slid down but was able to drive out. I don't think anyone else was foolish enough to follow me o_O

I really enjoyed Dellenball Tunnel, was my first time there. The Rock art was amazing. Secret Spire is interesting as well.

I was below when you drove off that wall, I saw a roll over happening, was sooooo relieved when it settled down. o_O

Fins and Things is fun, I really enjoy the loop at the end, it has some spectacular climbs that are great for newbies to wet the seat for the first time, all but one is an easy crawl, just crazy steep with unbelievable traction and nothing but sky to look at :ROFLMAO:

Moab is not for everyone. I’ve taken people there that didn’t know they were afraid of heights…. Then we took them up the Moab Rim…. If the first blind curve to the left didn’t get them the off camber right turn looking over the edge at Devils Crack certainly would get them. I’ve gotten where I don’t like taking groups up on that trail, it’s not that difficult but it is visually stimulating enough that people will do things that you never thought they would do, had several roll just to being all weirded out. I got where we would not do that or hells revenge first, we’d build up to it.

Story time from days gone by, it’s related so hopefully all good. One run up the Moab Rim trail we could see a jeep sitting at the Devils Crack (a highly visually stimulating point). We get there and it is still there. We can hear kids crying and some very stressed voices. The driver was mentally froze up, poor guy had his family, they were alone and he was having a full on panic attack. Took a bit but we got him calmed down to the point that we could get everyone out of the vehicle. We talked to them for probably 30 minutes. When emotions were calm we offered to take them back down or they could come with us, they opted to come with us. On the way back down he faced his fears and drove back down, they wheeled with us for the next 2 days and had a great time. Moral of the story, surround your self with the right people, stay calm and everything is attainable.

I have more questions than answers.
This is so important ^^^^^^.

Allow people to get out and walk. Including the driver if needed. I learned this as a teen. We had a guy that would freeze up on motorcycle rides. We would take turns riding his bike through while he walked around. Much faster and safer for all. Like Steve did, giving them options really helps.

Side note. Ran into some people from Florida on poison spider. They spent the next few days with us. Great people.
