i just made it home about 2 hours ago, after spending last night in a tiny highway truckstop town in Utah called green river. it all started when one of the rear wheels snapped off of our Hearse and exploded on the asphalt going 75 mph, we were towed to green river. We left this morning in the 2nd car but had to leave Mcgruff and Art in utah where they remain until tommorrow night or posibly later. we want to thank 303 for taking one of our party with them or we would have had to leave even more people in utah. the good thing is that no one was hurt. uhhhg i need sleep!!

Grifter, we love you guys, but your state sucks.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Utah likes to chew up hackers and spit them out. That state hates us.
Sorry to hear about that guys, hope it was'nt my luck rubbing off. Glad everyone is OK.Never drink anything larger than your head!

That area of utah is what we call the '435', the wastelands of what is utah.Originally posted by lil_freak
801 is where it's at, and is good times, even if your anti-mormon or something,
there's always somewhere in the 801 area you can have fun. It's funny how many crews had problems getting home this year, I was mentioning earlier how Me, Grifter, Dedhed, & A were all flying back to utah and got diverted to grand junction, colorado or something, stuck in 970 for a brief time ourselves. But in the end it does add a little something extra to everyone's post-defcon stories doesnt it? :).:. Adrenaline .:.Comment

You might think I'm crazy for saying this, but I love Green River. It's only about an hour from where I grew up (Grand Junction, CO) and is surrounded by all sorts of cool places to hike, and an active geyser. There's the San Rafel Swell to the west, Goblin Valley to the southwest, and the Escalante Grand Staircase to the south. Great terrain. But then again it's probably a shitty place to be when it's not by choice.Originally posted by h3adrush
We actually stayed there on our way out to DC. It's home to one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in in Utah, the River Terrace, with sliding glass doors in every room which open to porches that overlook the Green River, plus they have an awesome pool, and are right next door to the only decent restaurant in town, the Tamarisk. Here's a picture:
Holy shit dude, glad to hear you're all okay.it all started when one of the rear wheels snapped off of our Hearse and exploded on the asphalt going 75 mph, we were towed to green river.

There's awesome things to do in Utah, but the interior of the state bears an uncanny resemblance to hell.Originally posted by lil freak
Someone needs to put an "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here" sign over the Interstate when it enters the San Rafel Swell...45 5F E1 04 22 CA 29 C4 93 3F 95 05 2B 79 2A B0

After a scare with the Border Patrol, we were stranded in BFE Texas for several hours while we waited for our two flat tires to be patched. All I could say was "At least we're not in Utah."the fresh princess of 1338
What did I do to make you think I give a shit?Comment

So let me get this straight... half of the crew from Utah was stranded in Colorado, while half of the crew from Colorado was stranded in Utah? And approximately an hour away from each other at that? At least you guys didn't have to sit on an airplane, and entertain all of the passengers.Comment

Hehe, I love that area. I was down there just this last summer, camped out just west of Goblin Valley. Thank god for Green River though, it's the only city north of Goblin Valley that saved my ass from running out of gas. I had never been south of Goblin Valley, so I didn't want to take chances on the "city" that's supposedly south of there about the same distance as Green River is.Originally posted by basculeComment
