Posted: Tue Mar 19, 2013 2:48 pm
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!
