The weather has cooperated all week, and it looks like my trip to Moonshine Wash is a go. Mike is coming down tonight, and we'll probably leave early in the morning (if we don't stay up too late). I want to visit Moonshine Wash first, then do some more exploring in the area during whatever time we have left during the day. It's supposed to get up to 70° in Green River, and we'll be about 20 miles south of there, so it should be perfect. I only hope there's not much standing water in the bottom of the canyon.

We'll drive about 75 miles just on dirt roads tomorrow, so I'm bringing two spare tires. When I got that flat tire near Buckhorn Wash a few weeks ago, I had about 30 miles of dirt road between me and Castle Dale (the nearest paved road), and I didn't feel good about driving it without a spare. I hope I won't need either of them tomorrow.

what route did you take into moonshine?

I just sent you a private message on uutah with a KMZ file showing the route I took, but just for the hell of it, here's a Google Map showing the route for just the narrows of Moonshine Wash. The line along the road is just approximate--it's not clearly visible in the aerial photos for most of the route to the trailhead, but it's not too bad of a road (high-clearance 2WD would be just fine).
