    Ok,

    Total off road virgin here. I live in louisiana. Not a lot of mountains here. I have however, done some pretty crazy stuff with my VX through swamps, hills, etc. My poor VX has been sitting up with a blown engine for a few months, yet I finally saved enough to get the engine replaced (again).

    I've been to Moab before for ATVing, climbing, hiking, and it's gorgeous. I would like to attend this Moab event and drive up there, possibly with my two kids (3 & 10).

    Where do I go for more info and is this generally a family friendly event? And my VX is pretty much stock, including the wheels. Do I need anything special for the moderate trails? What do I bring? etc...

    Thanks,

    Really looks awesome

    -Mike

    After wading through the "musical opinions" part, it gets more interesting...

    It better be - I'm planning to bring my 3 year old and baby along. Maybe our 3 year olds could keep each other company?

    Re: 'family event'.....of course as long as you can tolerate your 3 yr old on an all day trail during the day in your vx. Nightly activity at the stoop can be somewhat R rated, heck actually X rated. But I doubt you will have a 3 yr old up that late! LOL

    Ash- it varies of course according to the trail, but when there's an "obstacle" of any significance, everything slows/stops, spotters hop out and help everybody get over it.
    With the CB radios, someone will often ask "when" next stop is.....so it's not really a problem.

    Plus we always stop for lunch somewhere, so bring a bag lunch for your gang....and lots of water.

    p.s. - The trail rules are girls on the right, guys on the left.

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.
