A
little late but: We had wanted to go to Moab for many years and for one reason
or another we couldn't make it but this year we did. After our Quartzsite trip
we left the bird in Tucson and flew home for about 6 weeks and went back in
March. Well where do we go from here? Moab! Moab in March is nice and warm in
the day and cool at night. We always wanted to get off the road and see what
you read about in the off road magazines. Moab is a great place to visit and
even a better place to explore, going off road is the only way to see the true
beauty. Riding the highways you can see alot but to truly enjoy Moab you will
need a 4x4 and not a Mall Crawler but a real beater of a Jeep. We did do some
moderate 4 wheeling nothing extreme but we did drag bottom a few times but
every bump, hump and jerk was worth every bit. Traveling up to Moab from Tucson
was also a pleasure, above Flagstaff we went through Monument Valley and the
Painted Desert, well worth the trip. Moab is on our return to list. If you have
the opportunity to go with friends it makes it even better; we met 2 other
couples there and we had a ball. Four wheeling is not too difficult, you could
hire a guide, take a tour, buy a guide book and GPS but we had the pleasure to
be with friends who knew the places to go from 17 years of experience of four
wheeling in the area, we can't wait to do it again. They knew all the cool places and we
felt safe. I would say Moab is not a place we would want to go during the
summer months.
