Awesome trip! Strikes me that when you travel with Wayolife, the destination is the goal, but the journey to and from always makes it one for the record book. Shaffer Spring is a great example.:yup:

Thanks everyone, we're so glad that you enjoyed the trip report and photos. This really was one hell of an epic trek and one that we hope to do more of in the future - only to different destinations of course. We can call it the "WAYALIFE Epic Trex Adventures" and if it's possible for you to join us for one of them, we'd love to have you along for all the fun :yup:
Actually, about half the pics were taken with our iPhone 6 and the other half, the ones that Tony took were taken with our old a77. Our old NEX did what it was supposed to do and that was to take a beating from the likes of me. Unfortunately, it no longer works.
We are so glad that you were able to join us for this epic adventure and are so grateful for all your help in making it possible and for helping us with all the great photos! We are so looking forward to doing this again soon :yup:
It was awesome the two of you were able to be apart of our epic trek to Moab and it was great that Amy was willing to get behind the wheel if only for a bit. I so hope you'll join us again for future adventures.
We're so glad that your first pilgrimage to the promised land was an enjoyable one. We had a great time with you and Tom and we're so looking forward to doing Part 2 of the CA or Bust trip with you. By the way, how's the Jeep coming along? Any word on the AC and the oil consumption problems you were having?
It really was and I hope you might be able to join us for one in the future. :yup:

You and me both! There was literally a moment when my extinguisher was tapped out - I really did think there was a possibility that Moby could burn to the ground. Engine fires can engulf a vehicle in seconds and this really could have ended badly for us. Fortunately, we were able to get it out, find and fix the problem and still finish up our trip. I consider ourselves to be real lucky!!
Epic trek is exactly what it was. So many places, so many different moments and unplanned events. All of it combined with great people made it simply awesome:rock: it's great to relive it through the fantastic pictures and narrative. Thanks Cindy and Eddie for all your commitment in pulling these together and inviting us to share in the adventure. :clap2::clap2: Can't wait for the next one.
It really was an epic trek and we're so glad that you and Michelle were able to be apart of the fun. We do hope the two of you will be able to join us for more of our adventures :yup:
It was a pleasure to have you and your family join us for the craziness that is a WAYALIFE adventure. I'm just glad that we didn't scare you away and that you'd want to be apart of future epic trek to come :yup:
LOL!! Just make sure you get that AAA Roadside Assistance Premium Membership. I just may need to bum it off of you the next time around :crazyeyes:
I'm scared for life thanks to you :icon_crazy:
Oh yeah, we took tons of footage and will be sure to make a video from our epic trek to Moab. It won't be the trip we were planning but in a lot of ways, I think the story is much better BECAUSE of all the challenges and changes to those plans we had to make along the way. Either way, it'll be all real. :yup:
So glad that you enjoyed yourselves. Cindy and I had a great time with you and Ray and we're so glad that you joined us on this trip. We hope the two of you will join us for more epic trex in the near future :yup:

LOL!! That's pretty damn close. Certainly, it's most of what we did minus the trail runs and side trips we took along the way there and back. :yup:
That about sums it up! We always have a plan and a specific destination but it's the "journey" there that makes it so much fun. At least for us anyway. For years, we've always just bee lined it to Moab and just to go wheeling (hell, plenty of guys just trailer their Jeeps there) but thought, at least this one time, how cool would it be to check out all the cool stuff there is to see along the way. We're just glad that there are others who can appreciate and enjoy a trip like this. :yup:

The WETA Series??LOL (WAYALIFE Epic Trex Adventures)....sign me up! Amy will surely do more driving in the future. I think the conditions of snow, rain and sloppy trails took it a bit from her comfort zone. Though I think she'd do great....minus the co-driver talking in her ear. LOL
It was truly a journey. No disappointments here and the challenges/changes all seemed part of the fun. Amy and I will remember this one forever. :yup::clap2:

Man, I'm only starting year three of my JEEP adventures. After talking to locals, doing my own research, and deciding MOAB was to be a bucket list item; my own treks begun. Then, I get the WAYALIFE email from Eddie. It has only made my thirst to the off-road mecca called MOAB a necessity.
Thank You burning this bucket item into my list. It was just amazing to follow your journey; amazing photos and narrative captions.

And hopefully not your last camping trip! :yup: Welcome to the forum! :clap2:
The Victorville dealership informed me that the AC was bone dry. They re-charged the system and could not find any leaks so they added a dye to the system and told me to bring it back after about 500 miles. Hopefully the dye will show up somewhere and we'll get the problem solved.
As for the oil consumption, they topped off the oil and started a log and will monitor how much oil gets used up in the same 500 miles. I told them that I have a 4 day trip to Arizona planned for May 3-6 and it will likely be considerably more than 500 miles before they get the Jeep back. They told me to go for it and make note of any/how much oil I use on the trip.
The CEL has gone off about 4 or 5 times since bringing it home. Each time it is the same P0016 code. Oil level has remained good so far though. The Arizona trip will be the true test. I just had the oil changed at a local dealership as an added precaution.
Hoping to have good news for the second installment of this issue. I don't want to be left out of the Cali-or-Bust final episode.
Man, oh man. I love this forum and all the merry miscreants in it. Every trip is a laugh filled adventure and an education for me. Thank you Eddie and Cindy for allowing me and Susan into the clan.
