Outlaws Run 2005: once again the Outlaws Run was held over a weekend in October exploring the northern region of the San Rafeal Swell. Robbie Antonson was the only other member who joined me for the trip this year. I sure enjoyed wheeling with an experianced member. We exlpored some of the same areas from last year, fixit Pass, Swasey's Cabin etc.. Also exlpored some new areas. Swasey's leap; where one of the Swasey brothers jump a horse over a 19ft wide, 80 ft deep gap on the San Rafael River. Devils race track, a trail that winds it way on to the top of some cliffs exiting near Dutchmans Arch. We tried exploring South Fork of Coal Wash on Sunday but ended up getting lost. We ended up in Woods Hollow. All part of the fun. I'd like to thank Robbie Antonson for some of the pics posted on here.
