My Lil' Mule

EJS 2019 is in the books!

Last day for us for this year’s EJS. Decided to do an easier trail – 7 Mile Rim.

I missed the raffle last year because of a break down. Wasn’t going to miss it again. I can’t believe the volume and value of what is being given away. Over $200,000 worth of prizes including a complete Dynatrac 44 front axle and no less than 10 sets of tires.

We didn’t win squat. HAHAHAHAHA!

While walking around downtown Moab, popping into the various shops, I just happen to run into the one and only Jessi Combs as she was looking over her Ultra 44 car in the parking lot of one of the downtown businesses. Jessi is the real deal. Not only can she turn a wrench with the best of them, she can weld and can drive anything. I met her last year, but the picture sucked. She was nice enough to let me bother her and take another.

I must admit, I was a bit star struck. 🙂

The plan was always not to run a trail in Friday, the day of the raffle. So I decide to take a walk downtown and do a little shopping. The artwork in some of the galleries is pretty unique.

I decided to bring home a depiction of Kokopelli.

For the first time in a long time, I was a passenger instead of the driver today. I didn’t have a trail today, so I hopped in TJ’s Jeep and rode along with him. It was fun just being able to sit back and relax, and enjoy the scenery for a change.

I’m not sure what year this was built, my guess would be mid 40’s, but I long to have a real Willys MB or Ford GPW for my own. This one was parked downtown outside of the Moab Grill. Very well used. I love that after 70+ years, it’s still running.
