Here it is, easily the wheeling event of the year. MOAB IS AWESOME!!!





A Canadian organizing the Hummer Club's keystone event of the year?



YEP!



I'm proud to say that I'm the organizer of this year's event and I'm really hoping for a good Canadian turnout. I think last year we had 10 or 12 Canadian trucks - hopefully this year even more will make the trek.



If you've never been to Moab before - this is a perfect event. We'll take care of you and your truck. Simply put - you will experience the incredible.



If you have an H1, no problem, H2 - excellent. If you have an H3, good choice, it's awesome in Moab. Families and all models of Hummer vehicles are welcome. First timer or veteren, this is the event to attend.



If you've been to Moab before I already know that you can hardly wait for your next Moab adventure. I hope that you can make it in September



Moab, it'll change your life. It just will.



Here are the event details. You need to be there!

Come to Moab this Sept. Do this. H1, H2, H3 - they all go up!!!!


Damn, I'm really getting excited about the trip!


We use highly experienced spotters, and for first timers we show you the trails, the obstacles and the specific Hummer lines. Plus, there's a TON of help and camaraderie.


This is the Devils Backbone in New Mexico.


BE THERE!!!!


It doesn't get any better than this.


BTW, I talked to the artist today about the event shirts - they're being worked on right now.

I think that we have about 6 trucks from Canada right now, maybe more. I think last year there were about 9 trucks from Canada - and I'm working hard to make this year's event better than last years!

Hmmm, I don't.  I'll see what I can do.  I Facebook a fair bit, but I'm a low level user.  I know all the info is on The Hummer Club site.
 
There is a Hummer Club Facebook site - I follow it.
 
It's    The Hummer Club, Inc.
