My buddy has been going for the easter jeep safari for the bast 4 years and says it's a blast. They stay for a week and try to run everything.
Yea, I contemplated the EJS but that just seems like too much "social" for my liking. Hotels are jammed and the idea of doing a slow crawl in a long tango line just doesn't appeal to me. It would be a good way to learn a lot in a crash course but I prefer a slower pace and a little more solitude. I'm sure there will be enough people around once the weather starts to warm a bit.
