Moab area desert strips: Memorial Day weekend

Weather (and winds!) look good for this coming Sat-Mon in the desert near Moab. Several of us planning on visiting the usual (e.g. Mineral Canyon, Mexican Mountain, Dirty Devil, Delores Point, Hubbard, ...). Camp at one of them Sat & Sun evening. Anyone interested in joining the fun? I'll be headed over Rollins Pass early Saturday from the Denver area. Maybe stop in Kremmling for breakfast? Post here, email me ( tedwaltman @ gmail .com) or call me 303-378-4987. I'll have my experimental Super Cub; cruise about 80 give or take.

Re: Moab area desert strips: Memorial Day weekend

I've recently been to most of those strips and they are in great shape. Take bug stuff for the pinon and juniper gnats, they are out in full force and not very pleasant.
The winds have been terrible in the whole region lately so plan for that.
Have fun and fly safe.

Thanks Greg! Going to do Mexican Mountain and a bunch of others. Will post updates on Monday. BTW, I have a file with all the strip locations that one can import into ForeFlight if anyone is interested...

I would like the locations to put in Foreflight.
Not sure when I will get out there, but want to be ready.
Thanks

Most of these strips are on shortfield.com. Please put your pireps there for the benefit of everyone! Zoom into the Mack/Grand Junction area and click on the strips to get the lat/long.
