Default first moab trip, looking for group

So my sister in law and I will be making our first moab trip. Driving out Thurs the 28th and staying till Sunday. We are just taking her 2dr, I don't have the funds for fuel to take my rig sadly. We currently have no group to camp with or run trails with and are looking for anyone who may take us in. The jeep is pretty stock: 2012 2dr Sahara, cb, winch, quick disconnects, sliders, Rubi wheels and tires. Experience wise she played around at tds and just did pancake rock. I've done everything in corral canyon except the connector.

Brandon first let me say I'm jealous! One of my favorite places to wheel! Anyway you should check this out if it'll work for you as well as contact Joe from TeraFlex they have a run as well. Basically go to the Moab section in the watercooler here to see threads about Moab. Wish I would have known you were doing this I could have given you the low down at the Family Night.

Looks like you'll be getting there at the tail end of Moab EJS but Dave CaliJK will be there with Higher Ground Fab & Off-Road...see if you can hook up with them while you're out there.

I stopped in Moab on my X-Country drive out here to San Diego. Didn't have too much wiggle room time wise on my trip so I only got to do one trail. We talked to a guy at the Moab Adventure Center in town and he mentioned Gemini Bridges trail. The others were apperantly too icy and covered in snow. We ended up doing the trail mostly in 2WD. Got some spectacular views. It ends at 2 huge 'bridges' not arches. Then we went back out the way we came in.

Have fun you bastard! Might want to forget the "go faster" method on this trip. And leave no one behind...twice.
