rocmoc Posted December 13, 2010 Share #92 Posted December 13, 2010 This is interesting. A ATV/UTV Jamboree in Hurricane, UT. Here are the ride descriptions. Maybe there is an area at one of the ride locations that allows camping and would provide the riding for the entire weekend. Anyone know these trails? There is more info about the Jamboree by clicking the header. http://www.atvutah.com/tristatejam/rides.htm http://www.atvutah.com/tristateohv/hvatv/index.htm Here are a couple more I found, http://www.lutherwood-utah.org/loc.htm looked it up on Google Earth and there are trails leaving the campground.

Sure a lot of stuff in Utah! rocmoc n AZ Yes, I know about the Jamboree. My neighbor used to be one of the organizers. I've ridden a few of them but not all of them. For the most part, the trails that are near each other are pretty easy relatively level trails and include running down graded roads. Some of the trails are ok but the trails are seperated by as much as 2-3 hours of driving. People sign up for specific trails so the distance works as St George and Hurricane are sort of central to all of them. Some of the trails are for the Tri State Jamboree only and are available by special permit to them only. The only place that has possibilities is the Coral Pink sand dunes area which is about 1-1/2 hours from my house. There is a pretty good network of trails there and I had already planned on checking them out fuirther, haven't ridden all of them. Camping there is good too and lodging would be in Kanab, UT. Two of the trails of the Tri State Jamboree are in that area, the Mail Drop and the Barricks trails. I'll take a closer look at the trails I didn't ride thru the colder months and let you know.

rocmoc Posted December 13, 2010 Share #95 Posted December 13, 2010 Talked to http://www.lutherwood-utah.org/loc.htm this morning with a gentleman named Neil. He said they did have trails & roads that could be ridden. He is going to have a couple of people who stay at the campground that have ATVs email me with more info. Looks good on Google Earth but that is limited. He said it is quite and off the beaten path. It is also a Passport Park so members, we are, get half rate fees to hookup. Only about 70 miles northeast of Hurricane. Maybe a good one to check out. Lenny, Neil also gave me a name of someone who is suppose to know most/a lot of the trails in So. Ut. and lives in Hurricane. His name is AJ Billings. rocmoc n AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocmoc Posted December 14, 2010 Share #97 Posted December 14, 2010 Yes, June 24-26th. We won't be picking a location until April 1st to give people a chance to hopefully check out a few locations. rocmoc n AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocmoc Posted December 15, 2010 Share #98 Posted December 15, 2010 I just recieved this email from Lutherwood Campground. There are many ATV trails that originate from Duck Creek and Panguitch Lake and Hatch area of Utah, all near Lutherwood. There are many dry camping sites near the Mammoth Cave area that have direct access to these trails and there are forest roads that can be used from the Lutherwood camp area. The web link below is of the many trails within the State of Utah and the information of some of the trail heads is noted. Sorry I do not know personally of these access points but I had talked with some ATV hauling campers that stayed at Lutherwood in 2008 and they had found access from the camp to the trail system. The below web link has a list of trails and maps/trail side photos. You will need to do some research on your own as to terrain and difficulty that your group wants to tackle. I know that a lot of the trails circle around and return on themsleves, that is the nature of the landscape (cliffs and lava flows) with many lookout points. The trails are a lot busier around holidays and long weekends. Enjoy your visit to Lutherwood and southern Utah. http://www.utah-trails.com/Utah-ATV-Trails I not pushing any one campground at this time, just provide info if anyone can check a place out. rocmoc n AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocmoc Posted December 16, 2010 Share #99 Posted December 16, 2010 Another email I have received, We spend at least one week every year at Kings Creek Campground just down the way from Ruby's Inn. It is U.S. Forest Service campground with bathrooms, water and dump station. It is one of the few parks you can ride an ATV right out of the park from. Also have fishing there from tropic reservoir and several of the trails go along the perimeter of Bryce. Deer, antelope, elk, turkey, etc is viewable in campground area! You can ride to Hatch Utah, over the mountain and have breakfast or you can ride to Henderson Point near Pine Lake for an awesome view also. Here is a link to maps of the area around Ruby's Inn. Most of the trails are side by side approved. http://www.rubysinn.com/06-atv-site/ rocmoc n AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lenny Posted January 19, 2011 Share #106 Posted January 19, 2011 Free or nearly free camping locations. Note to the right of the page the other States with free camping locations. http://freecampsites.net/attribute/states/ut/ rocmoc n AZ Planning to check out the trails south of Hanksville, UT in March. These are not going to be regularly riden trails but more old mining trails. The location is somewhat remote so it doesn't get regular ATV traffic. There is lodging in the area at Hanksville and probably near the north end of Lake Powell. I'm going to check out two different locations that are about 20 miles apart and probably a few more. Kinarfi, I'm hoping that you have your Trooper ready to go and you and Linda can make it, it should be a fun exploritory trip. These trails can go back in for 40-45 miles. This is Canyonland type stuff. I have no idea of what kind of trails we will find and that makes it that much more of an adventure. I did drive in one trail about a mile of so and it was great stuff. Not outragous stuff but unforgetable just the same. Anyone who is interested in joining in on the trip is welcome. I don't care rather you have a Joyner or another brand. I'm not too excited about going back that deep in without using the bubdy system. If were alond, I will bring our mountain bikes just in case. When your 45 miles in, your going to pretty much be 45 miles from anything so getting stranded is complicated even though I take provisions to deal with that kind of situation. This trip should be exciting, come on along. I am going to be checking out the trails at Coral Pink sandunes too But that will be a different time or on my way back from Hanksville area. Not the sandunes there but the back trails of which I have not yet riden all of. Of course anybody is welcome on that trip too. Dates are open except March 11 through the 14th. Jeanne and I will be going to Tucson AZ. to visit with her family there. Lenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinarfi Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share #107 Posted January 19, 2011 Got it on the calendar for March + or - a month, guess I better get after the engine, haven't even started yet, kind of planning on starting today, and when I do, I'm going to photo the project to death and post in an album on webshots, if I do a good job of it, I don't have to take a bunch of notes, I can just go back to the photos I took for where wires and connectors go and so forth and so on.

Kinarfi Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share #108 Posted January 19, 2011 Lenny, do you have any GPS coordinates for the places you wanted to check out, I, and I'm sure others, would like to preview the areas on Google earth and other maps. As I remember, and marked them on my maps, it was 37°41'0.47"N 110°13'14.42"W and 38° 8'26.73"N 110°36'36.46"W and 37° 4'32.09"N 110°12'22.87"W Kinarfi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopartist Posted February 4, 2011 Share #109 Posted February 4, 2011 Is this "get together" still going to happen? I might be able to make it if it's around the end of June. We're still trying to figure out if we're buying a used motorhome; or getting a Toyhauler instead. (Much cheaper to get a toy hauler) Anyways; i've found some camping/riding areas in Eastern Oregon I'm going to check out at the end of May or first week of June. I have a feeling I'll be pumped up to go to Utah after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always fun and the comradery is great. Even if you don't have a Joyner, we promise to not badmouth what you bring. We like them all, we just like to think ours are a little bit better. Have fun in Oregon. Lenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopartist Posted February 21, 2011 Share #113 Posted February 21, 2011 After checking out the other thread concerning where the Jamboree will take place; It looks like I probably will be able to make it at the end of June. Those dates look good (tenetavely) Is the road (Poison Springs) off of 95 to the "camp" area in good shape for motorhome travel ? (I realize I could assume that, but just wanted to make sure before driving 900 miles.) Actually we have relatives in Henderson that we'll go see after the Jamboree. Sounds like a GREAT time!!!

rocmoc Posted February 21, 2011 Share #115 Posted February 21, 2011 We tried to pull input out of everyone on the board for a date. When no one came forward with any dates & I had offered a date, Lenny & I set the date. Lenny was going to try & check a couple areas out and anyone else (but no one again at the time had offered but Kinarfi has since) with a April 1 date as when we would chose a location. That is the summary of what was posted. If there is a different understanding, please say something. rocmoc n AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lenny Posted February 21, 2011 Share #116 Posted February 21, 2011 Kinarfi and I will be checking the Posion Springs site the first weekend in march tenetively pending Kinarfi getting assembled. I don't think getting big campers and motorhomes in will be any problem but well confirm that too. This is good, looks like a lot of joyner guys are startingto get excited about it. You don't have to have a joyner to come either. Hopefully Cinda and George will be comming. Lenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
