Another beautiful fall day here in Northern Utah. 
I met a new friend in Moab during the flat Fender Fun Run that turns out lives about a mile from my childhood home here. He sent me a text this morning just as I was rolling out for a Fall Color Tour of my own so we met up and went for a ride over Avon road then across a narrow side by side trail to the small town of Manua Utah (pronounced man-a-way).

Here’s  some pics. I got some video but I need to look at it to see if it’s any good.

Stan,
The link says "content not available or you may not be allowed to view it"
Still, the pictures look good.
Hope to make it out to Utah some day.

Dave, 
I'm a Facebook idiot. You may have to be logged into Facebook to get to that link. I just copied and pasted the address. When I click on it, I get to Brian's pics on Facebook.

Here's the video from this little ride. It was about 3 hours and I had an hours worthof video that I edited down to 5 minutes. Tried to keep the most colorful parts in.

"Here's Mud In Your Eye"! thanks for the video Stan!  For Christmas, you need some new leaf springs, but not too stiff.  Looked like your tire may contact the front fender. Jeep time is getting short unless you can get to the trails without driving in road salt and magwater. Never had to worry about that in the "old" days. All they used was sand without salt. John
