Moab Easter Jeep Safari 2017

Easter Jeep Safari 2017

This year was much warmer than last year and much less crowded than the 50th Safari was, last year.  Probably the best one I’ve been to, myself.  There were tons of events over the 9 days.  Tuesday, Quadratec hosted their 8th Annual BBQ. Wednesday evening was the RR4W club’s Associates dinner, for those of us that are members of both clubs.  Thursday and Friday was the vendor show and Friday night was the big raffle.  Saturday was Big Saturday and was capped off with our potluck at Canyonlands Campground.  Easter Sunday, we had our traditional run. 15 jeeps went into Bull Canyon and looked up at the Gemini Bridges.  From there we split into 2 groups: members wanting an easier end of the day went back up and looked at the Gemini Bridges from the top, while those wanting more of a challenge went on to Little Canyon, and then the end of Gold Bar Rim.  Overall, it was a great week with many winning big, and few breakdowns.
