Show Jeep Safari Days are here again. Moab is proud to welcome wel-come you four-wheel drive enthusiasts to the land where jeep trails are thicker than bristles on the back of a porcupine. There's a reason why Moab should be known as the Jeep Capital of America. About 15 years ago enthusiastic uranium ur-anium prospectors hit the place. Moab became a boom town overnight. The almost: forbidding cliffs and canyons that only the cowboys and Indians had known became a land of promise to hundreds of prospectors. They pushed their trails along red rock L ledges. Where roads were considered impossible to build, they were built. Today the Canyon Country is mos ly accessible only by rough country vehicles and that's why Moab's Jeep Safari got started. You will have a choice of three trails with authorized J Jeep Safari leaders to help you not get lost. The country through which you will pass is big and wild, characterized characteriz-ed by great bands of red rock strata and rounded knobs of sandstone. Magnificent views the like of which are not found anywhere else, make for great photography. Take plenty of film, and don't forget for-get your water. Moab's Jeep Safari officially official-ly begins w:ith a large outdoor out-door breakfast to be held" Saturday morning from 7 to 8:33 at Lions Club Park two miles north of town on the south bank of the Colorado. There will be a $1 charge for this meal. At the conclusion of the Safari breakfast, Chairman Harold Jacobs will greet Safari Sa-fari guests to the jeepingest place in America, the Canyon Country of Southeastern Utah. Ut-ah. He will describe the three trails to be followed and introduce in-troduce leaders for each trail. Then will follow a full day of jeeping. The trails which have been chosen for this year's Safari are described des-cribed on this page. Moab's Churches welcome you to stay over for Easter Sunrise Services Sunday in Arches National Monument. |
