Since you weren't able to talk to Moab Police you probably won't know but is there a chance the PD would patrol where we parked the trucks and trailers in or near Moab? If so then it might be less likely to experience mischief/theft. Montrose parking area seems remote from your pictures. Not advocated for reverse trip, just think out loud.
Well, I arrived Moab Friday afternoon about 3:00 and got our room and then set out Mills Creek Rd which heads south and just out of town becomes Spanish Valley Rd to explore the route in and looked at housing options on that end of town as well. Came back into town and drove around stopping for fuel, a convenience store stop, back to the motel, and then to dinner and back and never saw a police car all afternoon or evening. The next morning, we spent 4-5 hours driving around town, visiting the UTV rentals, two attempts at the police station, a lunch stop, out Sand Flats Rd to the closest riding trails, leaving town about 12:30-1:00 and again never saw a police car.....
So, my inclination would be to say that the police don’t patrol anything.....😂😂
But no, I would not think that they patrol the Spanish Valley at all, mainly because it would be outside their jurisdiction....🤔
But, I have to say that I can’t confirm the actual staging areas location for the Rimrocker on the Utah side as I wasn’t thinking at that time about us even using it, so I didn’t even travel that far out (maybe 15 miles???) where the dirt trail actually ends and we turn to the pavement of Spanish Trail Dr.
I do recommend under either scenario that we don’t have anything of value in our truck beds and that trailer locks are used to secure trailers....It doesn’t look like there would be police patrol on either end, neither staging area being within city limits. So county sheriff
maybe.....
