bob .... when a broken RR CV stuck me down Lathrop Canyon off the White Rim
Trail near Moab, after being pulled 150' I was able to use the front wheel
drive
that was left (good VC) to drive the 13 miles off The Rim over Potash Road.
Front wheel drive is "The Man". When we picked up our pass at the Ranger
Station for White Rim camping, the ranger told us that a couple Honda
sedans had completely traversed the White Rim, so our vehicles were
plenty able to negotiate it. That was surprising (Honda) to me. Had no idea.
