Our 2nd trip to Moab is now over and once again we had an amazing trip.
As we had hoped the weather was an improvement over last year with a lot less rain. However the temperatures were at least 10 to 20 degrees cooler on average than we had last year, which meant we didn't get to use our new tube doors to their fullest extent or put the top down as much as we had wanted. |
We arrived in Moab on Friday September 28th along with one of the other 3 rigs that would join us on this trip. As the other guys would have been upset if we did any of the real good trails without them and because the weather was threatening we decided to do the Shafer Trial first thing on Saturday.The sun was out and the winds were up. There would be no putting the top down for this run. Stepping out of the Jeep felt like you were getting sandblasted, we stayed in the rig for most of the day.For those not familiar with Moab, the Shafer trail is more a road with a few bad spots and is suitable for stock SUVs and 4-wheel drive is not a necessity. However, the views along the trail are phenomenal and well worth the trip. This makes a good "down" day in between running the hard core trails that Moab is known for. |
