I have done some wheeling in the Moab area, including a couple days last year on the way to 2010 WCCC. Awesome scenery. It definitely is a different feel than Colorado. I am only running a 2" lift and found with smart lines and going slow I could go anywhere I wanted to go.
I would love Moab. It's closer to home for me (1 day drive instead of 2), and I am always up for exploring someplace new!
Seeing the Crown Vic reminds of the Blues Brothers - It's got a cop engine, cop tires, cop suspension...
It adds a little extra planning for me to get there and as usual it won't be until next spring if I could say yes or no, but that goes for wherever it is.
There was some discussion about this at WCCC 2011 and I want to see if there is in fact enough enterest to cmsider this for WCCC 2012.
I would suggest we go in May or September but one of the big consideration is for those who have school aged kids... would they attend?
What are your thoughts, I like the idea but only if there is enough interest.
We could always do a smaller event at Moab and then WCCC 2012 in Colorado as well.
May is Easter Jeep and is like Panama City on Spring break out there. Fun for myself, but just something to consider as a whole for the group. It is a heck of a drive for myself, so I was hoping you all would do Colorado again, but Moab sure is nice.
I'm down like an underwater clown.........
Moab Easter Jeep Safari: March 31 - April 8, 2012
I think a Moab WCC would be great! Anytime after EJS (Mar 31 - Apr 8, 2012) though the end of May should be fine. Even very early June may not be too hot if we want to wait until school is out.
The runs are very comparable to Colorado trails except sandstone is a lot softer than granite!
Maybe if there are people wanting to come who have school age children they could check and give us an earliest possible date for them.
Moab sounds great. We are cool for any time of the year, son is still to young for school.
April or May would work great for me, pretty quiet around the shop during that period. As for school, my daughter deserves to miss a few days here and there. Besides I would consider Moab Educational!
