Mona Pole Wheelin’
The Mona Pole run provided some light duty wheelin’ and some heavy duty scenery and good times. There were seventeen rigs on the trail. We started out in Mona and headed up the trail to the top of the mountain. The plan was to drive to the top and check out the old mine; it turns out the road to the mine and surrounding area are now posted NO TRESPASSING . Yes, we were denied. Undaunted, we forged onward and stopped at the smaller mine just past the one we had planned to see. When we got close to the top, the rain and light hail hit. Derrin and his team of five kids experienced the weather first hand as they had no top or doors on their JK. They headed back down to avoid hypothermia. The shower only lasted a few minutes and it was “on the road again”. We continued on the dust free trail to the Nebo Loop. We followed the highway back to the Santaquin Canyon road and back to civilization.
The leaves are just starting to turn so if you get the chance, get out and take a look. The mountains and views from the top of Payson Canyon are unbeatable. It was a lot of fun to see it all with a big group of sweet Jeeps and a couple of (glad you came) Toyotas.
Get ready for the big last run of the season. Moab here we come! Plan on coming down on Friday day or Friday night if you can. We will do a night run and then hit it again on Saturday morning. Don’t be afraid to come, regardless of how your rig is equipped. We will run several trails, all of which have bypasses and rating conducive to survival. We will be staying at the Portal RV Park in Moab. If you would like to join us they have RV as well as tent sites. The phone number for reservations is 1-800-574-2028.
Thanks to everyone that came on the Mona run. I had a great time, hope you did as well.
