Red Rock 4-Wheelers, Inc., organizers for the Easter Jeep Safari, have officially cancelled the 2020 edition of the long-running event. I’m not particularly thrilled with this development, as I feel that it doesn’t show an ‘overabundance of caution’ so much as it shows an overabundance of ignorance. I don’t blame Red Rock, I blame Utah, and – in particular – the Grand County council and Moab City, who clearly don’t have a clue and haven’t been listening to information on the virus. Red Rock’s hands were tired. Here’s the notice posted on the Red Rock website:

Depends on which Wrangler you’re talking about.
Older Wranglers – from 1987 through 1996 – known as the YJ, replaced the CJ7. This is the first Jeep officially called the “Wrangler” by the parent company. These came in only one body style, offering a short wheelbase, wider stance, and the same leaf spring suspension of the CJ. This was the first attempt to make a more daily drivable Jeep. It drives like a truck with a really short wheelbase; it bounces from front to back and is good for short trips.
Once again, Jeep takes home top honors in 2020. First it was the Gladiator name Truck of the Year, , now the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon EcoDiesel has been recognized by the editors of Four Wheeler magazine as the 2020 SUV of the Year!
In the year of its debut, the Jeep Gladiator has been awarded the prestigious Truck of the Year by a panel of automotive experts.
The North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year (“NACTOY”) Awards were created in 1994 by Christopher Jensen. Every year since then production vehicles are selected and judged by a panel of about 50 professional automotive journalists who work for various magazines, television, radio, newspapers and industry websites. The NATCOY awards are unique in that they’re the longest-running awards program that is not associated with any single, specific company, publication, website, radio or television station.
The Consumer Electronics Show bills itself as “the largest and most influential technology event on the planet.” Every year thousands of people descend on Las Vegas to see the latest tech, as the world brings its best to town.
