I cannot wait to get to Utah again this year!  We just started planning the trip and time always flies by when we start planning the trip.

So every year that we have gone to Moab, we have driven straight through from Atlanta in Jeeps.  That’s four people, two Jeeps and thirty-six hours one-way.  It isn’t as bad as you may think.  The excitement of getting there keeps us going.  The way back…not so much.

The trip usually consists of four people:  Brian, Leif, Myself, and one other.  Last year it was Kevin, Leif’s best friend from Texas.  We have decided to make him a permanent addition to the trip.  This year, we are adding three others:  Wes, John, and possibly David, though David has yet to confirm.

Also this year, we are trying something different to avoid the numb legs, cramped muscles, and shear boredom that driving 36 hours in a Jeep will cause.  We are going to try to find a truck and trailer to rent to pull the Jeeps or maybe we will ship them.  Both of these things seem expensive, but the most expensive part of the trip has historically been the fuel for the Jeeps.  Hopefully, these will be comparable in cost if not cheaper… one can hope.

If it all doesn’t work out, we will just have to drive it again.  It is beautiful country and the best place to off-road, after all.
