My ride-along adventure through Moab with the Toyota Land Cruiser Association
MOAB 2016
I recently had the good fortune of being invite for a ride-along with a friend of mine who is a member of the TLCA. There are many place to post about this epic adventure but it I can't think of a better thing to than just STEEMit.
I'll let the pictures do the talking. Enjoy.
- The day begins
- Heading west on I70 to Moab
- Lining up for Poison Spider
- Driving to the trail head
- Airing down and final equipment checks
- Tight path for these big rigs
- My first cacti in the wild!
- Pacer tackling Waterfall. I decided to work the camera on this one :)
- Attempt 2
- Great success!!
- Tucked
- Convoy heading to the next challenge
- Amazing what these trucks will climb. Crawling up the wall...
- Mmm...end of day IPA.
- Trying to fix my MUSE witness at basecamp
- Dinner and raffle! Our table did well. Winning all sorts of...stuff
- View from Dome Plateau on day two
- Group enjoying the view. I wandered over here to make sure we didn’t just put 50k lbs of Land Cruisers on top of an amphitheater
- Obligatory selfie from Dome Plateau
- Crawling around an arch like good tourists
- Back on the trail
- The off camber doesn’t come through in photos. Pacer was an excellent pilot and never put a wheel wrong
- Caves
- Love it and leave it
- Old mining camp
- Plant life in the desert
- Exploring abandoned mine. Not as creepy as I expected actually
- So many things to photograph…
- Getting ready to roll out from the mine. Rain on the horizon
- An old steam powered rock cutter used to smooth out trails through the rocky terrain
- An old bridge that got washed away by a flooded Colorado River
- The steel remains...
- A rainbow waves goodbye. Thank you MOAB and Pacer for an incredible experience.
Riverhead.
Love the original content and dedicated witness tech support.

To be honest there is a certain geek pride in remote server admin - the more remote the better.

Awesome photos!!! Red flowers are Indian Paintbrush. Not sure about the photo below it. Definitely looked like a great experience. It's on my Bucket List.

I'm not sure what I like most about all this...
At first, the travel itch part of my brain just wanted to see pics of Moab (being on my to-see list) all while glimpsing into the life of Riverhead.
Then I see the MUSE witness slide right there in the desert haha. Can't help but smile.
But the most powerful thought was the realization that I felt like sharing stuff of my own. Normally, for me at least, posting content would have 1 point for it, I get to share things I like. But it also comes with a point against it, I could be doing something else with that time that would be "more productive" to myself. Well for some reason, I don't feel that with STEEM because I would actually be doing something potentially productive.
Now the pros outweight the cons! There's the fun part of sharing (altruistic reason) and the self-interested reason of earning crypto.
I never usually bothered with mining BTC or any other altcoin. But this is different! I feel the urge to start mining with STEEM and Steemit. If it has this effect on me, I doubt I will be the only one...
Anyway thanks Riverhead for assisting in this lightbulb moment ^^

Happy to be of service :). Moab was certainly a bucket list for me. I didn't have any intention of going but then a seat opened up in a buddy's truck and I hoped on a plane (that makes it sounds so easy lol). If you have the desire and ability I highly recommend it. Photos do not do this place justice.

Awesome! I didn't know there was such a group as the TLCA, I didn't know land cruisers could do that and I've never been to Moab. I must visit sometime.. on a land cruiser. Those are some great pics!
