Madness in Moab - Easter Jeep Safari
.jpg)
Wendy and I just returned from a crazy-cool trip to Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari weekend. I never knew there were that many jeeps and that many police on the planet.
I'd say that 90-95% of the guys there are just there to have fun and not get too wild. But about 5-10% of them are clearly insane. At night, they're out drinking and racing - like something straight out of Hollywood Knights.
As for the police, there were just more police than can be imagined. Utah state troopers. Moab city cops in Dodge Chargers. Grand County deputies. An ad-hoc San Juan County substation. Forest rangers. Just more authority than could ever be described. The place was crawling with cops.
We almost got into an accident when a guy did a U-turn in the middle of the road, with all four wheels barking, and nearly hit us pretty-much head-on.
Probably, I would have to say that I wouldn't ever go back to Moab during the Easter Jeep Safari because it's just too crazy. We actually bugged out about a day early and crashed in Aspen for the night just to get away from all of the lunacy.
Aside from the 'Madness in Moab', Wendy and I had a way cool trip. We really took our time getting back, stopping in Rifle, Palisades, Aspen, and Silverthorne on the way back.
