Mem. Day weekend at Moab with Yamaha Rhino

Boy what a fun ride I had out at moab.. You know I have called this Yamaha Rhino a "mini Jeep" ... Now I can confirm it!! This thing should have been called the Mule Like Kawasaki's is because that is what this thing is.. I swear it goes almost everywhere I point it except 2 rocky hills that were too steep... anyway heres some pics for your viewing pleasure

Campsite on sandflats road just east of Moab



This is porcupine rim trail.....REALLY ROCKY!!.... MAN! shale and boulders and dirt oh my!! hehe





One of many times where the front or rear wheel got off the ground... Rhino has a locked rear when in 2wd and there is a opend iff in 4wd and a front locker. Works really well



This is the view awaiting us when we got to the top of the ridge. This is castle valley and you can get to this valley in a car but it is more spectacular this way....



What I havent shown you yet is my parents ride with me on this and also our 2 Dogs. Nice to be 74 and 75 yrs old and get to see stuff like this...



This is how my mom rides....and the dogs....



When it is jus me and my dad, we went on the sandstone trail fins and Thingsss heres a particularly steep hill....for the rhino anyway...







Such fun out there and there was a small storm going through Salt Lake so the temps there was like 75 or so... not going to be that cool til fall! now it is going to be like 100 by friday...
