2003-04-11: Feet On The Move
Here are the feet on the move toward Moab, Utah for the Jeep Safari sponsored by the Red Rock 4 Wheelers.
2003-04-12: Along The River Road
There are many sanctioned runs during the Moab Jeep Safari Week. Our friends Ron Johnson and Birk Sorensen were the Trail Leader and Mid Gunner for the Dome Plateau Run on Saturday. Here, our caravan of vehicles is heading down the river road for the starting trail.
2003-04-12: Airdown
Before getting on the trails, it was airdown time. With some of the air removed from the tires, they tend to be able to climb over rocks and up ledges and rock staircases much easier. I was Birk's co-pilot (and sometimes driver) for the day.
2003-04-12: Again and Again Hill
Here is our jeep showing everyone how to tackle Again and Again Hill. This particular incline is appropriately named as it is common to have to try a tricky place again and again. Here you can only see part of the climb - there were about four sections with curves in between each one. It was a fun hill!
2003-04-12: Tryna Drives
After just being a passenger two years ago when we went jeeping for the first time, I decided I wanted to try it out behind the wheel. Birk was brave and became my co-pilot. With lots of help from him and lots of concentration I did it. My mentor told me I was a natural which made me fell really good.
2003-04-12: All Lined Up
Our carriages await our return.
2003-04-12: Jeeping Buddies
Here are Ron and I just before entering an old Indian cave along the trail. This area was home to the Anasazi.
2003-04-12: Dino Tracks
There are wonderful dinosaur tracks in this area. Looking at this one you can just imagine the size of this beast.
2003-04-12: The Explorer
Al was forever looking for Indian artifacts. He found a lot of churt and worked pieces and was even lucky enough to find an almost complete arrowhead.
2003-04-12: Squaw Arch
This incredible arch was along the trail. Isn't it amazing to think about the wonders one can find in the backcountry. I am in awe of this whole area.
2003-04-12: Lunch Ledge
We had lunch on a ledge high above the Colorado River. The vista from this vantage point defies words.
