10 minutes South of Moab, while still on the highway, the call came over the radio that a u-joint cap just ricocheted off of their windshield..........Mike's rig was down with a trashed pinion yoke before we even hit the trailhead!
We split the group and XJess led half the rigs on Flat Iron Mesa, while the other half went back to assist Mike.
A quick call to M4O by Russ from Moab Outfitters would secure a new yoke, to be overnighted into Moab the following morning. Richard pulled the rear shaft and we stashed Mike's rig and he hopped in with me for the day.
Back to the trailhead:
We caught the other half of our group at an optional obstacle named The Chute, which turned out to be a bit of a challenge. I didn't witness the Bloose V-8 induced wheelstand, but hear it was impressive. Most of the rigs took a tug over the top, but a few found that getting cozy with the tree on the right allow you to climb it unassisted.
