This past week we made our way down to Moab, UT for the chance to meet up with a group from the FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association). We spent time on the trails and back at basecamp which happened to be Portal RV Resort, operated by our good friends Doug and Steve. Over the course of the week we had a blast!
Sunday was orientation, everyone got settled in and we had some great food! That seemed to be the theme for the week, great food I mean. Doug made sure to provide everyone with some awesome pancake breakfasts every morning before we took off! So after the breakfast Monday morning we were on the trails, bright and early. We had the opportunity to lead a few brave souls from the group down Rusty Nail and Golden Spike, it was an intense ride!
The next day it was off to Pritchett with about 10 or 12 rigs in the group. This was a great ride and pretty tough to navigate. Almost everyone had to be winched over the rockpile!
Wednesday was especially fun, the FMCA held a Road-Rally Raffle type of thing. Pretty much it was an “Amazing Race” style scavenger hunt around the city with clues and prizes for the winners. Everyone seemed to have a great time! That night Portal RV hosted a Meet ‘n Greet ‘n Feed for everyone down there, the food was great! Not to mention the awesome bands and music we had going the entire evening.
Thursday and Friday were more wheelin’. We headed out on Green Day and had a pretty rough time through parts of the trail. Which reminds me to shout out to Glen and Kevin for their help! Glen in his custom built Buddy and Kevin in his TeraFlex equipped 4 door JK (loaded with passengers) pulled us out of quite a bind on the trail. They’re definitely the type of people you want with you while off-road!
Saturday we rapped up with Hunter’s Canyon…it’s rated a 7 and it is every bit that rating. Jim Horn from Outlaw Jeep Tours helped us out by guiding us down this awesome trail. It was a thrill to say the least!
Overall we were excited to meet some great people and to see many TeraFlex kits perform on many of these Jeeps during our adventures! Thanks to everyone who participated, we can’t wait till next year! In the mean time, check out some of our photos of the trip below -
