Moab Muni Fest 2010
“MUni”
is short for Mountain Unicycling. “Fest” is short for Festival, and
that’s what the Moab MUni Fest is all about. It’s a time to break
the winter cabin fever and get out to the pleasant March climes of
Moab; to ride and socialize with other MUni riders in the scenic
red rock wonderland of Southern Utah. It’s a place to test and expand
your limits, hone your skills, and learn new techniques from other
riders. The entire Slickrock area is red sandstone rock, which means
you’ll have traction to climb and descend angles you never thought
possible. The landscape is a trials course. For non-trials riders
it’s just as much fun figuring out how to avoid the obstacles. In
either case there’s plenty to keep you entertained. It’s a great
place to make and renew friendships within the com-MUni-ty of riders.

Annual Bighorn Sheep Festival
A
chance to view desert bighorn sheep in sunny southeastern Utah
awaits as the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) hosts its annual
Moab Bighorn Sheep Festival. The event is free, and people of all
ages are invited to attend. Sheep watchers are encouraged to bring
binoculars or a spotting scope along with snacks, beverages and
a camera. DWR biologists will guide participants to locations where
bighorns have been recently observed. The biologists will have
extra spotting scopes and binoculars for people to use. They'll
also have several large four-wheel drive vehicles for those who
don't have the type of vehicle needed to reach the areas where
the sheep are. The festival begins on Friday evening in the Moab
Information Center (7:00pm), located at the corner of Center and
Main. DWR will present a program on bighorn sheep ecology and their
life history. The following morning (8:00 am) participants will gather
again at the Moab Information Center where they will split into groups
and go in search of bighorn sheep. A DWR wildlife biologist will guide
each caravan of vehicles. All of the parties will be in radio contact
with each other, so everyone can be advised as soon as sheep are
spotted. Those who drive their own vehicle can leave the group
at any time. For those who ride with DWR biologists, the field
trips generally finish by noon or early afternoon. For more information
call 435-613-3707. |
