Fall Color Tours 2014! - Event Date: 22 Sep. 2014 - 27 Sep. 2014

Welcome to all you Flatfender Fans!  It's time to make plans to join the 2014 CFFC Fall Colors Tours!  This year we'll hit the peak of the fall colors during the week of 22-27 September!  I would like to personally invite all of you reading this to join me for a grand week of making memories, taking photos, driving Willys Jeeps, and sharing some comraderie with the best folks on earth - other Willys owners!  

 
 
For those who have never been to the FCT, what kind of colors are we talking about?  There's an example below. 


As always, we'll open our home to everyone who attends.  Camping is available here on the Thirsty Dirt Ranch.  There's lots of great hotels, motels, and B&B's in the area for those who prefer some comfort overnight. 

What in store for us this year?  I will explore some new ground again for this year, and I'm thinking about a "two-pass" ride that will take us over the Continental Divide and back again on a day-long tour.  We'll also experiment with a Willys First Aid Kit containing some spare parts to keep us ALL on the trail and moving. 

If you've never been here then we'd like to welcome you to a great experience.  Just ask our returning Willys Wranglers.  Its the best time you'll ever have with your Willys!!  So mark your calendars and start making plans to be here!

Unfortunately I couldn't edit the above post to make it complete, so I'll add the photo that was missing to this post.


This is the kind of color that we look for on the FCT. 

Also I'd like to credit Haines Garage with the photo of me in the first post above.  So pack your bags and get out here to the Thirsty Dirt Ranch for the adventure of your lifetime.

M38mike, count me in as well, and will bring plenty of spare parts, very much looking foreward to the trip, I have not been to the great state of Colorado in many years, and have never been to your area. I will also need hotel info.

My frame horns are kinda, sorta, just about, almost somewhat straighter. I'm sure they will be better by September. We'll be getting home from a bike ride in Tuscany on the 20th, so with the jet lag I may still mess it up again!

I'll be there also this year Mike! Not sure of the duration , but at least two days on the ground. If you make hats again, put me down for two. I hope to speak to you here in June about it. I am looking forward to shaking hands with allot of names and faces I've become familiar with. Can't wait! Thanks for your efforts and time. John

Bruce, I've got all the butcher shop tools we need to slice and dice, and plastic-pack in air-tight packages.  I've still got blood stains on the shop floor from my elk in November.  I've got a Little Chief smoker we can use to smoke up some meat, and a dehydrator too.  Even have a meat grinder for making burger.  Speaking of burger, we made meatloaf out of 2 lbs of elk last night.  It's already gone, no leftovers! Yum! We've set aside about 6 lbs of elk burger for Steve's elk chilli for this year's FCT, packed it special so we'd know what it was for. 

Hi Mike,

Tim,
