Moab





So for easter weekend we went to Moab for the Jeep Safari and had a great time. Our convoy consisted of the Clam Digger, a Humvee, a Unimog, an old school Willy's that is split in half and pivots, and a Rubicon that included baby seats.
We chillaxed in the clam digger. This is the ultimate. It doesn't look like much but it will go up just about anything, which earned us much respect from the onlookers. Down side is there's no windshield so you need goggles. But where else can you own obstacles like the escalator while lounging on a wrap-around couch eating chips. Oh and the clam digger is especially good at tearing through riverbeds at high speed.
Unfortunately we did get a flat tire on our car just before leaving to head home. A fellow jeeper was kind enough to give us his plug kit which held surprisingly well. We never got to really thank him but are deeply grateful.
