Willys Jeeps

One of the local auto parts places sponsored a meet up of Willys Jeeps. The build of the Big Willy Jeep brought his. This thing is pretty huge. Saw a lot of old Jeeps. Great to see they are still on the road.

Staying in Moab

When I came out to EJS last year, we stayed in a tiny house at an RV park about 40 minutes north of town. Did it differently this year. Found a condo right in town. It was so nice to be able to come off the trail, wash the Jeeps if we want to, and relax in a nice home.

It was pricey at around $800 a night, but split 4 ways, it’s reasonable.

Top of the World

Spent our first full day in Moab on the Top of the World trail. The trail itself isn’t too difficult. The trip down was harder than going up. But it was the view at the top that made everything worth it. It’s quite a drop off the ledge. Some folks like to drive their Jeeps on the out cropping. I’ll pass. 🙂

You meet people from all over out here. Had a Jeep that was shipped here all the way from Australia.

I wish I had snapped a pic on our way down as we passed a wedding party headed up to the top. Pretty epic way to start a life together.

Money Well Spent

Well, buying that TPMS setup for the trailer has paid off in spades. But this isn’t even the first tire issue I have had.

Not more than 45 minutes from home, the alarm started going off. Yup, flat tire. There I was, on the side of the freeway, trying to change a flat tire on a trailer. To make matters worse, I couldn’t get the spare off. The lug bolt holding it onto the bracket was stripped and it was just spinning. After a lot of persuasion, it finally came off and I was able to change the tire. I found a spare somewhere in Indiana. I also bought a second spare just in case.

The alarm went off again in Kansas. Another flat. While changing it, I see the tire next to it has a screw in it. Good grief.

Got that one changed as well. So I now had one good spare and one with a screw in it. The drive home is going to be a blast!
