So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Israel: An Off-Road Paradise

By Barry Weldon

If you want to explore off-road trails that bleed the desert sands, then head to the Middle East. The deserts there give you more than rocky canyons and sand dunes to explore and conquer. With the whole area virtually made of sand and stone, you will definitely love taking your Jeep Wrangler there.

Israel's desert trails provide great and imposing challenges even on the most avid Jeep Wrangler off-roader. A fact why Off-road driving is among Israelis favorite past time. Another reason why many Israelis and other avid Jeep Wrangler enthusiasts dare challenge Israel's terrain is because many of the trails here hold historical value.

If you want to explore the trails of Israel, you might think again if you want to bring your own Jeep Wrangler with you. The taxation on non-Israeli vehicles is very heavy indeed. Fortunately, Israel has several communities of hardcore Jeepers. Not only that, Jeeps are manufactured locally in Israel, mainly because the Jeep is one of Israels armed forces reliable desert vehicle.

The Judea desert offers the perfect trails with which you can subject your Jeep Wrangler to the deserts unforgiving terrain. First off, you have to conquer dry river beds that are not only specked with boulders, but are steep and unpredictable as well. Significant numbers of Jeepers have turned back because the most of the terrains they need to surmount range from hard to impassable.

The desert of Judea is only the beginning. Other interesting desert trails for Jeep Wranglers include the trail to the Big Maktesh. The trail gives any riders a lot of bumps and rocks and erosive craters along the way. In the end of the trails, you'll get to experience the cool waters of the Spring of Ein Yorkeam.

The Scorpion Pass is another trail Jeepers and off-road adventurers must not pass. A former road greatly used by the British empire, the Scorpion Pass descend to the Zin Valley, another place that boasts of great desert trails. If you want, you can check out the supposed burial grounds of the Biblical Aaron in a place called Hor Harhar.

Conquering all the desert trails the land of Israel can offer may take you weeks. eeping all the trails may be hard, but warm welcomes, great food, and cozy beds await you after you spend the day basking in the desert adventure. The kibbutz inns of Ein Akev and the ancient castles of the Arava Valley are just among the places that offer great hospitality after every rough ride in the deserts of Israel.
