Moab Treffen 2005

 The 2005 Moab Treffen was a great success, we enjoyed a Turkey Fry on Thursday night and held a raffle on Friday. Each night we reviewed the day's video and still images in the tent at Treffen Central. We had attendees from Tennessee, St Lake City and of course the Denver metro area. A total of 16 trucks participated. We ran Pritchett Arch, Fins and Things, Hells' Revenge, Poison Spider Mesa and Golden Spike. Due to breakdown, we were unable to complete Golden Spike, Douwe broke a rear axle and Bob Fischer had a broken gear in a reduction hub, but everyone got off the trail safely.
