Another new guy

[Rubicon]

Done Moab twice, once as EJS 2017 and once on our own (2012). Actually headed to its namesake this summer. Will be a cross country convoy of three Jeeps on trailers, one of the couples going is coming down from New Brunswick CA to NH and then we cross all the way to Lake Tahoe to run the Rubicon Trail. Expecting at least a three week, maybe four week, trip.

As a group we've run trails in PA, ME, KY, SD, UT, VT, NH, MA, NY, RI and CT. Crap, I didn't realize just how much we're gotten around until I saw it listed out. LOL

No ducks allowed on my Jeep, those are for Mall Crawlers and Parking Lot Patricias.

Never understood the duck thing.

Never understood the duck thing.

The supposed story around them is that a Canadian lady living in Alabama had a bad interaction with someone in a parking lot and to make herself feel better she put one on a Jeep with a note that it was a nice Jeep. It grew from there, but I just can't stand seeing them all the way across a dashboard.

So theoretically, folks have given these ducks to the jeep folks for some reason or another.

Yes.
And the duck has to be given by someone else, not the owner of the Jeep.

Ah, so now I know! The ducks seem to be a thing around here too.
I’m an Iltis guy myself (four of them on my street) but people keep calling it a jeep. (No ducks)

That is so cool, I haven't seen one of those in years!
