There are 50 other weekends a year that aren't so crowded . If you don't like crowds pick one of those. I've been at the easter jeep safari for 26 years and can't remember not having a good time . EJS is more than just 4-wheelin it's the whole experience . I have friends from all over the world that I only see at EJS ... It's like most any thing else in life it's what you make of it . You can thank the people that put omn the EJS for being able to even 4-wheel in the area . the RR4W INC. put in the majority of the work to keep the area available ... the money that they use to fight for the rights we have down there comes from the EJS.
