My 1st time in Moab. Lockhart Basin Trail. We ran out of daylight and unexpectedly spent the night at a very nice, flat and sandy campsite. Got super lucky finding that spot at that time. This incident made me realize if I was gonna do shit like this, I needed to get a gas tank skid. The factory skid did it's job, but it was beat to hell.
