What: Expedition Utah would like to invite you to join us for our December Summit - "Freeze Your Tail Off 3" Overnighter.

Back again for 2011 is our annual 'Freeze Your Tail Off Overnighter'. Its become one of our more popular runs each year and we expect it to be no different this year.

When: Friday, December 16th and Saturday, December 17th. We'll be leaving SLC Friday (12/16) evening (meeting at Delle, UT along I-80 at 6:30pm for those that want to caravan from Delle to Lucin), camping at the Lucin Sun Tunnels that evening and then waking up early in the morning to watch the sunrise through the tunnels. It is several days off of the exact solstice but so long as we have clear skies it should make for some neat viewing. We will be returning home that evening (Saturday 12/17)

Where: For those arriving later in the evening, we'll be easy to spot at our camp site near the Tunnels. Following the Solstice celebrations Saturday morning we will travel back towards SLC in the dirt, with optional exit points for those that need to return home earlier. Potential stops include the Lucin ghost town, the Transcontinental Railroad system, the Hogup, Newfoundland and Lakeside Mountains, Spiral Jetty or the Silver Island Mountain range north of Wendover. Trail Difficulty: 3/10 though snow & mud can make some sections downright brutal.

Who: Anyone and everyone. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or someone just getting into exploring Utah's backcountry and varied historical sites we encourage you to come out. There is no group size limit for this event but please RSVP so we know who to expect.

CB Channel 20 & 2M 146.460. GPS Coordinate of Sun Tunnels: N 41.30 W 113.86.

What is Expedition Utah? Expedition Utah is a website and forum dedicated to vehicle assisted exploration of Utah's beautiful and varied backcountry. We strive to provide an online repository of information to help people plan their next adventures and a forum to let them discuss it with others who share their passion. Our monthly Summits are designed to move that experience off the computer and into the real world by highlighting aspects of Utah's history by visiting museums, historic sites and joining other groups who share our passion in different ways.

"In" like hand warmers in my sleeping bag.

The old lady said it was cool that I go, so if everything works out I may go.

^^^^ As long as you don't mind the cold....emphasis on the "cold" part, you should enjoy it.

I dont mind cold as long as im prepared for it, so I definately will prepare.

Turns out i will not be attending unfortunately. Hope to catch the next one!

That's cool Ethan, there are plenty of trips in the future.


If anyone else wants to join in the fun of camping in the desert this weekend post up/check out the initial post. Meet up in Delle, camp at the Sun Tunnels, then spend Saturday out on the Ghost Rail Trail. If you do decide to join us grab a bundle of firewood on the way out to contribute to the fire.
