Cruise Moab 2025. Act 2: Wheeling in Moab and a day enjoying the April Action Car show

After two years of rocking a rental from work, it felt great to have the 4runner out in the desert- and actually wheel it! Back in 2002, Gemini Bridges was the first trail I ever ran in Moab. So it felt fitting to do it this year. Matt, the leader for Gemini Bridges on Thursday welcomed me as the gunner for the day. Vendor night was awesome and can’t thank everyone enough for the support of the posters. Later, Daniel buzzed us up and down Main Street in Long Cruiser. Friday I hoped in with Gary and for the 40’s only run that Tim set up. With some 20 rigs, we had an impressive line up. That night at the raffle, it seemed everyone around me one something. Saturday would find us back at the car show- something I’ve missed the past few years. Saturday night we found a spot on main street and set up the lawn chairs and watch the cars go by. Anytown USA:).

Back in Moab with some extra parts, Lee gets the 200 LC back into action just in time for Cruise Moab. After this pic, I set the camera down and lent a hand.

Ok, not before snapping this pic of Chase watching on.

My first trail ride for Cruise Moab in quite a few years. My first ever trail was Gemini Bridges. Since I actualy was going to be driving my 4runner to Moab this trip, felt it fitting to run Gemini Bridges again. Upon showing up to the trail meet up spot Matt, the leader for the day was like “oh your my gunner”. So much for an easy day on the trail (it still was).

An interestingly built 5th gen 4runner.

A beautiful day in Moab.

Gemini Bridges. First time I ran this trail was my first Cruise Moab back in 2003. I soon remembered that I drove over the big arch ( you could do that back in the day). Shook my head as I remembered that.

After Gemini Bridges, we headed over to Longs Canyon.

Friday I hopped in with my pal Gary and tagged along for the first ever 40’s only run. Sponsored by my pals over at Proffitt’s Resurrection Land Cruisers.
