Had lunch with staff of Bronco Base Camp yesterday. They said by the end of the week they'll have over 200 people in camp. Sounds fun, and I'll have to drive over there one evening.
Shafer Trail is a very nice route, and great if you've never been to Moab before. I love it and have done it many times. You want to start at the top, which is just short of the Canyonlands NP entrance. Also, you'll want to stop at Dead Horse Point on the way to start Shafer Trail. The route is...
I've been flat towing my 4 cyl Badlands, works fine. I have an Air Force One aux brake kit and it works with the Bronco just like it did with the Jeep. One you get the hang of setting the tow mode, it's pretty simple.
I'll be there Feb 1-12. I'm fortunate enough to be in staff parking right next to Hammertown with the motorhome plugged into the electrical grid. But, I have to work for it. :giggle:
I'll try to stop by Bronco camp in the evening and see who's there. Mine will be parked next to the Tech Tent...
I read on Bronco Nation that Ford is doing Bronco Basecamp again. Any of you registered? They are putting on a few runs, a night run and a celebrity run. Must be with some of the Bronco racers. If any of you have general questions when you get there, stop by the Tech Tent in Hammertown and I can...
I'll be there, rocking my Baja Designs lights. I'll stop by and say hi. My Bronco will be parked next to the Tech Tent all week, from Feb 2-7. Then Feb 8-10 I'll be doing contingency inspections, and if like the last few years, the Bronco will be parked across from PCI.
There have been these Broncos and a film crew out in Johnson Valley this week, as King of the Hammers is getting set up. Wonder what would be included in a King of the Hammers model? Anybody seen anything else...
Mine has a crack, but there is a very small chip. The shop foreman looked at it to see if it would be a warrantee replacement, but no such luck with the chip. No chip, and they would have replaced it. Doesn't really matter what you tell them, it has a chip that contributed to the crack or it...
Appreciate the spirit of the post, mostly. People do actually search the internet for information. People will search here for information about Broncos. If the only comments are agreeable, and the folks who don't agree and see it differently refrain from commenting, then it's nothing more than...
Regarding the cost of registration, it's been a while since we did an event in Moab, but I do now remember that there was a BLM fee per person per day per trail, that is unique with BLM to Moab. Looks like they are covering that cost and not doing it per day, which is very hard to keep track of...
Did anyone receive any communication after you registered, like a trail schedule and signing up for individual trail runs?
I see that as of today, we have 17 who have confirmed they are going. That right there is a pretty big group for a trail run, but bigger groups are easier to do in Moab...
Vendor swag is donated, and trail leaders volunteer. Not complaining here, I've put on quite a few events, just commenting that it is a hefty registration fee and not clear what is included. Wondered if I missed it. I know event insurance has gone up, likely a few thousand dollars for this...
Yeah, I don't mind paying for event registration, but $165 is quite a bit. I can't find anything explaining what is included in that. Did I miss it? Like dinners, T-shirt, raffle ticket, etc.
Ha! I got a few comments in. :)
There is some really cool stuff added this year. I'm excited to see the short course trucks and buggies out there, as well as the kids UTV classes. Expanding the short course track to close to a mile is very cool. They said it will be similar to a regular...
The designated spectator areas have been greatly expanded this year. There will be a number of good spots to watch the high speed action as well as the slow speed stuff. In addition to the digital map that will be available there are paper maps available when you get there.
