Moab here we come... Anyone Else?
Well next weekend we have decided to pack the camper up, and head to Moab in the Blazer. This will be the first real trip for the blazer to do some serious wheeling.
Anyone else gonna have a rig down there? If so we could 2 meet and eat some place... |

I've never been there but I'd like to some day. Take lots of pictures & videos for those of us who can't go.

If it gets too hot down in the desert this lake is about a 20 min. drive from town and has good trout fishing.

Re: Moab here we come... Anyone Else?
HEHE, Thanks for the pics Drunkbus. This will be my first year with the blazer, here are a few pics from my last couple of trips with jeep. My jeep is currently getting a new cam so it will not be ready in time, otherwise I would be taking both. Enjoy the pics:

Re: Moab here we come... Anyone Else?
We would love to go up there sometime. But I'm in no way interested in any of the hard core off road stuff. We just like to putt around and take in the scenery. Not interested in tearing up the blazer, not to mention that's a pretty far stretch from home, so it has to stay in one piece.
Are they still having mild temps up there, or is it already hot??? That would be another issue. If my wife can't be comfortable it would be miserable for all of us |

Re: Moab here we come... Anyone Else?
Moab is the BEST! I get to go back in September
It rained on me in 2006 the last time I was there. The rain was fun once you settle into the idea everything is going to be wet Cain't WAIT!!!

Re: Moab here we come... Anyone Else?
What suspension and tire size you running? I have a set of alcan springs on mine, but I am pretty certain mine will not flex that well at all. I am going to look for a few flex spots. I am also picking up the video camera on. Hopefully I will get it all down loaded. Friday.

Re: Moab here we come... Anyone Else?
A little tip if anyone does go to the lake for fishing. There were about 7 or 8 people there fishing from the bank and none of them were catching anything. My friends went out in the boat and were catching them like crazy.

Re: Moab here we come... Anyone Else?
Well my trip is going to cut short. Looks like we go Firday night wheel and come home on sunday. I have a new job interview on Monday in WY. Keep your finger crossed. My dad actually grew up in Moab, someday I hope to go there with him.
Temps are supposed to be inteh low 80s. Also Moab is a blast there are many easy level trails that take you into some very great country. Also add canyon lans and arches, it is a great time. |
