I personally hate this trail as it creeps me out. The wife likes it so I try to keep her happy.

Try them now. I made a mistake while posting. I had forgot you can not add &hd=1 to the direct link to the video. You have to open the video first, then copy the link from the top address bar and then add the &hd=1 to get the video to open in high definition.

Example
direct link: http://youtu.be/yStMJYVuR_I

opened link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yStMJYV ... e=youtu.be

My parents starting taking us out there in 1970 when I was 2 and we are now at a 3rd generation making the trip. We used to go every year but it is now every 2 or 3 years...It never gets old. I strongly recommend the trip.

This is from 1977 and I am the kid getting into the orange buggy

I just got word we are heading back next year. I will definitely get some new video when we are out. I kind of laugh about a few things with this video. First, you look at the place you are going up in the beginning of the video and you think there is no way we are going up that way. Second, at 10:43 13:43 and 14:53 there is nothing below you when you cross those sections as it is undermined. It is literally 500' to 1000' straight down directly under you. For some one who is scared of heights it gives me the FN willies every time I watch it. Even though I hate this trail to drive on there is one worse. We hit a place called pack off and you go through one section where it is 300' straight up on the left and 1500' straight down on the right. There is only 1' clearance on each side. They call it "pack off"...I call it "three pairs of underwear"

Is that the same buggy that my sister Tammy broke the windshield with her face about 30 years ago on a weekend camping trip at St. Helen? Seems to me the story went something like- there was a little unauthorized under-age joyride in which the brakes got slammed on to miss a deer and she wasn't wearing a seatbelt or it only had lapbelts? hehe

WOW! yes that is the same buggy! and you have the story pretty close. I must have been 13 or 14 when that happened and I got in soooo much trouble. I snuck the buggy out with your sister and when a deer ran in front of us on a trial I slowed way down so we could watch it. While we were watching the deer I forgot about driving and ran into a tree and your sisters face broke the windshield. My family still calls bull shit on the story but that's what happened.
I have to tell you, when I read this response it literally blew me away. What a small world. Thanks Woodsbuggy.

Fudd, check your pm

Your right it is a small world,lol. And the deer story would sound like a b.s. Story to me as well :roll: :roll: . This would be something to do as an event. A caravan of woods buggies heading west. I'm up for a week long trip to go out west riding if we could get a trip planned. Thanks for posting now I wanna go ride there,lol. Chad :mrgreen:

Post subject:  Re: Moab Shafer Trail
Best time to go is August. It is a little warmer in Utah but when you make it to Colorado all of the trails will be open. We have gone in July but there always seems to be a few of the passes snowed in. I am definitely heading out next year and depending on how many of our group goes, we may be able to add a few more. You don't want to have too many because it turns into a logistical nightmare.
If there is a WoodsBuggy group that decides to get out any other time, I will help out anyway I can. IE camp grounds, places to ride and things to see.
