A little over a month ago, I had my first opportunity to experience Moab. I set out with Jack (Avenger) and a father/son pair riding in a Bronco Buggie:

As a side note, the buggie showed EVERYONE up on this trip. It was built right and the drivers knew what they were doing. Awesome guys to go wheeling with too!!!
We got there on a Sunday and had enough time to run Moab rim. Sorry, I didn’t really take any pictures on this one but I will tell you that I almost pooped myself on the Z turn. I made a rookie move and hit the brakes coming off the ledge. I had my passenger rear tire about 4 feet in the air and almost rolled it. Jack started yelling: “GO GO GO.” Let off the brake and rolled right out. Lesson learned.
The next day we actually met up with a large group from Canada (Winnipeg Hardcore Off Road Enthusiasts) and wheeled with them for the rest of the trip. The group had one JK (Justin) and the rest were almost all buggies. Justin’s father took all of the pics for the rest of this trip.

As a very large group, we decided to run Hell’s Revenge. Definitely interesting to see an H1 wheeling. Had a few break downs along the way but all in all, was pretty cool
Tuesday, the group split up. The three JKs and 3 buggies ran Prechett. Apparently, this trail has gotten significantly harder recently because the people who have done it before were surprised with some of the obstacles. We had a buggie roll on the first obstacle and I was one of the next vehicles to run it. Definitely was a clinching moment.

All the JKs ended up winching rocker knocker. I took a look at the bypass for Rocker Knocker and it has become almost as hard as the obstacle itself! At the end, all the JKs decided to take the long way out and damn its long. The buggies turned around and ran it in reverse. They were all home and showered before we even made it off the trail.
Wednesday was my last day and we went to run Green Day in Area BFE. Area BFE is pretty cool and its huge. You could easily spend an entire day there just playing around.
In short, as most of you already know, MOAB IS AWESOME. Sorry for the lack of cohesion between the commentary and the pics but Google’s image host still has some things to work out in my opinion. You can see a TON of pics in the link posted at the beginning.
Lastly, Justin is also making videos from the trip so here is the first installment:
