Hey Goss,
Jason and I will be in Salt Lake from Dec. 18 - Jan. 3rd. But Dec. 28 - 30
we'll be in Vegas for our belated honeymoon. Yes, yes, I know.....
Honeymoon in Vegas - sounds like a movie? Unfortunately, we'll be without
our 4x4 Dak's.
What part of Utah do you live in? Utah has some pretty amazing offroad
trails. Jason would be considered a crazy off-roader when I think back on
some of the trails he took me on. He likes to park on edges of steep cliffs
to see how far we can go. My heart is usually in my ears at this point, but
it sure is fun. If you go to Jason's profile, there are some pictures of
his Dak posted there that I took down near Moab. Ever drive this trail?
I'm a real beginner as well, but learning.
If you want some interesting spots in Utah to go off-roading, Jason could
probably tell you where they all are, if you don't already know.
Take care,
Norah
