Syncro SafariTM, Moab '18 Overview
The 2018 Syncro Safari adventure was held in and around the four-wheeling "Mecca" that is Moab, Utah. The event included 4-wheeling, a Colorado River jet boat tour, dinosaur tracks, cliffs, arches, canyons, history, hiking, dancing, and more! Breaking from the typical Syncro Safari limit of 10 Syncros, this adventure was expanded to include 20 Syncros! We got to see old friends and meet new ones. By the end of the week, people we met days before were more like family than strangers.

Video of Friday's Adventures
On Friday, April 6, we took an adventure that included the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracks, Tusher Tunnel, Secret Spire and finished up going down Long Canyon. These sites along with a few others along the way (Courthouse Rock, Determination Towers and Tombstone Rock) were all visited in a single amazing day captured on video by fellow Syncronaut Ron Chandler. Thanks Ron for the great photography and drone video work! |
