The SGV Group on OB just completed this trail 6/4 - 6/5. Two days with one night camping at the top of Murphy. Trail was great. Shelf roads were scary. Water crossing wasn't bad. Scenery is amazing. We had 8 rigs out with us. Did you guys get your permits? We were never stopped but I would have them just in case. Our route started at the Schafer switchbacks. I think that's the harder way to go. Doing it in reverse may have been easier. Have fun guys!!!

We are packed and will depart Prescott tomorrow morning and should arrive in the Moab area around 5-6PM. My plan is to find a campsite at the Horsethief Campground but as it is a first come first served we may not get a spot there. If not, we will find a dispersed site. Propane fire pit is packed. Do you have a preferred comms channel? See you Thursday morning. Brad and Kris
