I'm sort of the same way, although I do own a Rokon and I'm ironically comfortable falling off that. I don't want to roll down the hill in no jeep.
I saw a bumper sticker last week that said "Moab Sucks tell your friends" and I laughed. I'm not sure if that was like "please don't move here" but I assume so.
I went to moab and the Arches as a tourist, (no Jeep) in 1988. Long time.
