Moabers Tackle the Poison Spider Mesa with Skyjacker

MOAB, Utah - April 7, 2009 - Today's Moab adventure took us out to tackle the Poison Spider Mesa with the entire Skyjacker crew including Lonnie, JR, Lee and Dilbert. The Skyjacker Trail Run was run by Tony Eyman and the Red Rock 4 Wheelers who made sure that everyone involved took to new hights and new adventures while touring the famous Moab slick rock.

With sunny skys leading the way the 14 rigs headed out with Tony Eyman riding in the MasterCraft jeep driven by Robbie Pierce. Tony guided us through a few obstacles but the weather and scenery was what made the day spectacular. Tony, who has guided hundreds of Moab trails, isn't used to taking the back seat while on the trail. He has taught more people to work their way through the slick rock of Moab but hasn't quite mastered the rear door exit. Tony took a tumble as he attempted to exit the MasterCraft JK and face planted out of the rear door, fortunately all he injured was his pride as he took a good ribbing from fellow Red Rock 4 Wheeler members.

As we stopped for lunch at "Little Arch" Tony was questioned about how he thought the current hardships the economy is facing would effect this years' Easter Jeep Safari. Eyman answered, "It's hard to figure, we are down 25-30 percent from the manufacturers, but up on registration from participants."

A few that joined the Skyjacker crew and helped them celebrate their 10th anniversary at Moab's Easter Jeep Safari was MasterCraft, Lightforce, Daystar, RockHard 4x4 parts and Mountain Off Road Ent.
