No, got too late in the day, we were whooped, and had a little shopping to do. Something for a future trip.

Even after handing out TJFEST koozies to random TJ owners on the street; I still have some left.

Left Moab yesterday moring, at 5:45 KC time and 950 miles later, rolled into the driveway at 10:15. The ruts in the blacktop on both sides of the Eisenhower tunnel were only eclipsed by the crosswinds in eastern Kansas. Ahhhhh, it's good to be back at 850 ft altitude. The 4.0 is now running like a...um....less weezy, but still underpowered 4.0, LOL.
Had a great time! Met some awesome people. Went some places I might not have gone otherwise. Many thanks to David, Rich, Russ, Tim and Tim, Jimmie & Peggy for allowing us to tag along, and for cold knocking on our cabin door. I have some things to look at/plan for on my Jeep, but was otherwise very impressed with its capability as-driven. Even more amazed at what some of you other guys are doing both with a fully built ride and/or a nearly stock TJ.
For now, it's good to be home with water pressure and a shower head that's not pointed at my chest, LOL. We'll see you all on the next go around!!!

Save them for next year. I'll get one from you then.
My kids were fighting over the "Wizard Chapstick" in the backseat on every trail. It's now somewhere on the floor covered in dirt.
I'd stay away from that chap stick.
Eh, it's fine, just wipe it off. I'm used to stuff that's grubby. I have an 8 & 6 year old, everything around here is sticky & covered in dirt.I'd stay away from that chap stick.
Between my dog and my kid there’s nothing that’s not sticky. Builds the immune system I guess.
My least favorite feeling is stickiness -
Somehow I have two kids.
Who is going back? What did you learn?
definitely going back, already put a plan together. Looked at lodging options, just waiting to see what dates "we" come up with here.
We stayed in town, walking distance of restaurants, perfect option for us. It is that kind of town, laid back.
Speaking of eating, places don't open early like they do here, so you'll have to fend for yourself before 6:30. Heck the coffee shop didn't open till 7.
Food & fuel was more expensive out there but expected that. And fuel up everyday, don't think there is going to be another gas station/convenience store on the way, they are sparse.
Tons of side by sides, that are allowed to run up and down the streets. So wheeling during the week was ideal by Friday at lunch it was getting busy, I can just imagine what Saturday afternoon is like.
Goes without saying but don't go out on the trails alone, not a lot of cell service and no easy way out. Scenic drives, those trails are okay but the others anything can happen.
We had the absolute best time.
TL;DR = we had a great time, can't wait
till next year. Who's ready & when
