Yes, we are alive and well and able to tell the story of this year’s Jeep Safari.  John had thirty possible participants on his trail and twenty-eight actually came to enjoy the trip.  All knew what they were doing so we encountered no problems along the way.  Our tail-gunner had to give a little driving advice to a girl who was out for the first time and, together, they made everything work just fine.  It’s always amazing to me when people show up and have never done this sort of driving before.  Kudos to them for wanting to try.

The  3-D trail  has been John’s to lead for eight or more years and he loves it for the scenery and the ease of driving it.  Its name derives from the fact that, near the end, we go to an overlook from which everything we’ve seen can be appreciated from one spot.  

The first photo above is the back of his trail leader’s jacket showing the Red Rock 4- Wheelers club emblem and some of the patches for the years he’s participated.  Photo two is a canyon seen from an overlook which is our lunch stop.  You’ll notice in photo three that the wagons are circled during lunch break.  Last, but not least, is a photo of one of our fans seeing us off at trails end.  Yes, it was a perfect day!
