I went in July. Very similar distance for me. 1062 miles, on the way home I drove it in one shot, 17 hours. Really hoping I can get the time to go back for this event in May.
That would be awesome if you could make it, always good to have someone familiar with the trails to lead the way. IDK what all is planned for the Safari, but I'm not sure I can take a whole week of organized activities so I'm game for other stuff too.
Yeah, same here. Been there, done that, a few days of event organized runs is too much for me. Rather be casual and independent most days. We'd have to do Moab Rim one day, or part of a day, which is my favorite trail. That trail requires two lockers, but it's 5 min out of town and very fun and scenic.

Awesome! Heard that trail is challenging. Would be hesitant to try it without someone experienced, but would totally be glad to if we have somebody to show us the ropes!Yeah, same here.

This plan sounds great to me, just line up my co-pilot for the trip next step room reservations.Yeah, same here. Been there, done that, a few days of event organized runs is too much for me.

Who doesn't?
I'm wondering if this is required for Broncos & Wranglers, which are often termed "4x4s." If you look at the four categories, the closest that seems applicable to us is "Type III OHV," and the icon suggests a monster truck. These are complicated issues, as definitions of different vehicles we use for "wheeling" vary from state to state to federal lands, and what's required and permissible of them. Whew!Looks like we’ll probably need to take this class. Ran across this new thing today on an overlander’s insta.
Maybe not since this is sanctioned event, but may not hurt to do it anyways.
I think the catch all for us is the bold print of All Street Legal Off-Highway Vehicles.
The book is great. I'm there every year during the first Part of May. This year I'll go the week after Bronco safari due to work schedules. If I can help anyone the following week let me know. Sorry I'll miss you all. Prepare for any weather. It can be hot or chilly and wet.I'm going to pick up a copy of this book, it's supposedly really good for Moab first timers. I'm not sure how much it's changed over the years but there are 4 editions so grab the newest.
