The WRT is presently closed due to flooding so you can't do the whole loop yet. I met up with two other truck camper families from RV.Net and we went in as far as Murphy, about 50 miles and turned around, spending two nights on the trail.

The trail was fun and the company great!!

I was going to try a couple harder trails after we got back to Moab but my camper charger started acting up. Had a very low battery all the time. I think it was stuck on trickle charge. With an electric water pump and electric fridge this was not a good thing.

I left the genny at home thinking moving every day I will not need it. Note to self: Never leave home without it!!!

All the bumps and twisting I was really wishing I had the FWC Hawk but the old Northstar held up OK. Maybe someday!! I really need to tear out the back wall and install AC tho!!!

Along the trail.

oh, want to go there. You do need permits, right? Restricted access and drive one way? Your pictures make it look like a photographer's paradise with all than sculpted sandstone.

Was the trail closed because of high water or because of road damage? I'm thinking of taking a run at it this fall. I'd check with the Rangers first no matter what. Thanks.
