We're in Toronto, Canada right now, but planning on moving to BC within the
next couple of years. Jason is originally from Utah and boy are there some
fantastic off roading spots in MOAB! Loved it and want to go again.
Make sure you guys take a good CB radio with you. Just in case. Do you
know if cell phones work in those areas? Sometimes there isn't coverage in
some spots, but take one anyway. Man, I wish Jason and I could be going
with you.
All the best and definitely keep us posted as much as you can. Most
importantly... HAVE FUN!!!!!
TTYL,
Norah
