Back in March met up with some other (Karl, Scott, Rob, Dennis) to do some riding up at Sand Hollow. Here is a video Rob (Oddball ORV) put together. Weather was overcast most of the time and relatively cool. Some wind but great riding weather. There was an off-road event going on at the time but it was over and gone by late Friday. Area is well known for the Jeep and 4-wheel drive crowd. Some areas were used but not to rough overall. There is a lot of sandstone in the area as well as rocks and a small area with sand dunes. Sand Hollow also has an area called Top Of The World. It was a good time, both my front shocks bled out and I didn’t want to break them so I took it easy. Everything from fl250/fl350/fl400. Dennis brought up a class 2 Briggs car and Scott bought Chris Wortmans (CW Racing) old race buggy and went through it before the trip. Thanks again to Rob at Oddball ORV for setting up the meet and getting the video out. There will be a meet up again next year possibly at the same spot if anyone is interested.

Thanks for posting the update and video, I only watched the first 2 min so far, I downloaded and will watch the rest tonight. PRO TIP avoid the race courses they are ROUGH especially after a race. What I have been doing is downloading the race course maps, load them into Google Earth then look for trail systems that are close to the race course to avoid the really rough stuff I seen in your video.

I also search for and download the maps for power lines and gas pipelines as they are like the interstates of Off-road and trails branch off of them. If their is not a lot of trails in an area I download the mining maps as they always have trail networks that spider everywhere, once you find the Mine locations you find all them REALLY OLD Historic trails. The BLM maps do not show very much. Then using Google earth I map out a basic map and load it to my GPS for riding to keep me going in the general direction and to reference.

I made a commitment to myself if I EVER win the lotto I am going to spend all my time after each Off-road race to groom the trails to remove all the big rocks like you seen. Not essentially smooth them out or change the terrain just get the huge rocks off the trails. Getting the BLM permission first! Those rocks I seen in your video detour MANY people from enjoying the desert.

You should see the Off-road races in action, 800+ HP 4wd trucks with 37" tires, 18-22" suspension, once you do you will see how all those rocks makes it to the surface.. Some sections of the Parker 400 they take a grader out after the race and shove them all to the side. Tight budgets has almost ended the grooming.

I have always wanted to ride there and other places in Utah but my schedule has never matched the weather, now I am retired I am going to eventually gear up, watch the 30 day weather forecast and make it happen. When I do go I am taking my 1970 VW Bug project on the first trip and see all the big sites and doing a little mild off-roading to get the lay of the land. The second trip I will take the RZR and the Pilot depending on how many mountains I have to take the RV Trailer over. My RV should be able to handle the mountains on the Northern Route power wise.

Do not forget your Rjpper's World and if you have the time put that FL350 project in there to document, it will be useful of you ever decide to sell the FL350. viewforum.php?f=124
