Same here,I really have'nt got a straight answer on what time we're starting either.I have the super generic directions on how to get to BFE.I'm nervous 'cause I won't get into Moab until 6-7pm Friday night!I guess I'll just look a pack of RC trucks fighting over a clear signal!

I'm feeling like a lazy *** and don't want to look them up, what are they? I'll program them in my GPSr as well. For that matter, if you have any waypoints, I'd love to get those too.

Go South on Hwy 191 Approx 13 miles. Just after the uphill passing lane comes to an end, take the first left (this comes quickly, be prepared). Follow the maintained dirt road and signs for about 3 miles to the cleared parking area on the left.



From Monticello, Utah:

Go North on Hwy 191, with about 17 miles to Moab you will pass "Hole N The Rock" shop and then a rest area around the next corner. Coninue north up hill on hwy 191 past the rest area for another 1-2 miles. Look for signs to the right and follow the dirt road in.

that is from the BFE site

not too hard to find

BFE is located out of town, it's just a left onto a dirt road, by the entrance to the sand dunes. It is easy to find.

I'm assuming you guys have seen this.

I might poke around and see if we have any geocaches up there. I'll show you guys what fun a GPS is.

I could borrow my dad's GPSr, he has one of those ones that will tell you left, right, etc. Mine isn't fancy and doesn't talk, but I pretty much found Tank Trap w/o having to follow you guys with it.
