Headed out with my club this past saturday and had a blast.  Snow was hip deep in some places out there.  Had 9 rigs total 3 of them were jeeps.  Of course mine was the smallest one with only 31" AT.   Will post up some pics later.

Well, I was planning on going to Easter Jeep Safari in my TJ, but, I bought a SRT8 Challenger the week before and could not resist heading up to Moab in the Challenger as opposed to the TJ.

I stayed at a nice little bed & breakfast in the La Sal mountains just above Moab and on Saturday morning woke up to "snow wheeling in April".

What can I say, when you're from Phoenix, a couple inches seems pretty cool too!

Ya, it really surprised me how many guys with Jeeps came up to me and said "Oh, can I see it". I actually thought most people would be poking at me, "You came to EJS and you didn't bring your Jeep!"

Hey usaftj everytime you post pictures from Alaska I miss it.  Anyways looks like fun and I miss the snow up there.  Nice car ftgiles. I believe we're suppose to hit 90 degrees here tomorrow.  I've been riding with top off for the past several days and probably be able to finish up the rest of the week, with it off.

i had a flashback seeing that CONVOY COMMANDER sticker on that truck........those field exercises weren't too bad till it started raining, add to it lightning and an m16 strapped to you (chills). anyway, looks like you had a blast and i bet even though you got stuck a couple of times, it was still better than your best day on base. btw, we're getting into the high 70's low 80's here in eastern pa this week
