Hopefully next year there will be a tan '91 K5 and a CUCV K5 along for the trip!


So after we left the park we cruised back to Moab to restock on supplies at City Market, hit up the sucktastic State run liquor store (What a joke that place is) and met up with Lance with his sweet ’70 Burb. Lance had just spent the weekend at the cold soggy Overland Expo in Flagstaff. From there we had wagon round up two at McDonald’s before taking off towards Kane Creek to meet up with Lockart Basin Rd. The goal for this night was Chicken Corners


Not far down Kane Creek Rd the canyon opened up to where you could see the other side of the Colorado where we started our WRT tour a few days before (Potash Rd).


Then we arrived at the Chicken Corners cutoff just before it starts to rain


You just got to love the lack of Monday afternoon traffic jams like back in the city slabs


From here on out I’m going to borrow a lot Lance’s great photos. His photos just came out awesome! This was on our way to Chicken Corners






Just amazing. Why can’t the other 364 days a year be like this


We ended up in a nice little corner placed up on slick rock to set up camp for the night




It may not look like it but my camper was level as it could be this night


Any my buddy Bill fried enough chicken to fill all of our bellies. Fried Chicken is Bill’s off-road specialty and what is not more appropriate on Chicken Corners than some of Billy’s fried chicken?


LOOK! Funny, a few hours later we were all looking that way as a waterfall formed right where he is pointing. Then that water flowed right through our camp like a little river. It was the coolest thing. Wish we had a video of that








A closer look at that wall that sprouted a nice water feature and small flash flood. Yep, and the little flood flowed right under my front axle. You’re welcome California!


That’s it for now but go check out Lance’s trip report that parallels mine from here on out.
