So sorry to read about your misfortune Stan. I have been following your post's since you came aboard, and can tell that you are a real enthusiast. By the look of everything, it looks like it will be some time before you can get back in the saddle!  You must have learned something hanging around Oileaker though, like having a spare or two comes in handy when "Old Murphy" steps on you! He almost convinced me to get another jeep so I could still go jeeping while having the other one's engine rebuilt! 

I can think of a spare Jeep or two at Mike's if you're coming to the Fall Color Tour to get back in the saddle.

Wow Stan. Just read this. Glad you are okay.

 

After pondering thoughts for a few days, a Great BIG thank you goes out to Carol & John, the work/time and effort, as well as expense that goes with an event like this is Very much appreciated! You open your home and shop to a large group of like minded folks, keep us well fed with cookies and other goodies, and ask for nothing in return, God has truly blessed us with friends like you!, as Jpet said it's amazing where an Internet forum and a little truck has taken us, I could not agree more. The trails were "Out Of This World" and very challenging at times, and allowed us to travel through some of the most beautiful country to be seen from a Jeep!. We traveled a little over 500 miles in our little trucks throughout the week, the longest day was 80 miles, the shortest 50 miles. Also many thanks to Bob Brown and Rick-R, you two as well make this event possible!. After a week long event like this, or the Fall Colors Tour, the hardest part is saying good by to such a great bunch of friends, some old and a few new, thank you all for a very special week!

Finally felt like sitting at the PC for a few minutes and uploaded this video of going through Tightsteer Alley.

Jpet already posted a cool video of Grampa's Jeep and Bam Bam's little side adventure on Camp 5 Road. I had some video from my GoPro of that same adventure. So I tried to combine it with Jeff's video to give you a driver'seye view and a watcher's eye view of the same obstacles. Apologies to Jeff and Ban Bam for mostly cutting them out of this and thanks to them as well for the watcher's viewpoint.

Yep, I've been on trails like that. both of my friends had Jeeps with Elockers and they felt the need to head up the road. I chose to sit and have a sandwitch and a beer. The road was closed at the other end anyway so why fight it both ways? I could have done it but I like my old 3B the way it is and I don't need to drag off my PTO box. They were back within 10 minutes anyway. They decided that it wasn't a road to go up after all. Sometimes I can look at a trail and know when to say no.
