Just thought I would throw out a post here as we are a week away from the event...
And just to get you a little more enticed, as though that's needed... I mean it's MOAB, if you aren't stoked by now, I don't think there is any hope for ya...
A new sub-event that was attempted last year, was met with such positive response, that we decided to expand it and make it a bit more fun this year.
Geophotocaching.
What is it you say? Well simple really. A list of coordinates and clues are handed out. Utilizing your GPS you navigate to the location of the coordinates and attempt to decipher the clue as to what the photo goal is at each location. Each location is weighted upon difficult of clue, location and terrain. The more difficult, the higher the point total is for that location.
Your clock starts upon receipt of your registration packet and ends Saturday as specified by the rules.
Saturday is going to be fantastic as there will be the early/short trail runs followed by:
The will also be the 'Zuzoopaluza again on Saturday afternoon which is shaping up to be a great time again. The events will be:
* Show n shine - self explanatory ('Zu show off)
* Spotters Challenge - you are blindfolded and guided through a cone course by a spotter's audible commands.
* Duck Hunt - Tests your vehicle placement knowledge
* Rescue - Rescue a stuck rig
Then of course there will be the BBQ/Banquet in the early evening.
I know I am stoked, what say you?
