This just barely qualifies as “Jeep related photos and stories” but thought you would maybe enjoy these pics anyway.
Spent last week riding around Bryce Canyon National Park in Grampa’s Jeep. Everyone there wanted to be me cuz I had the coolest car and the cutest passenger. My wife hardly ever rides with me in the Jeep. It’s ‘too bumpy” for her. This time she said “that was fun tiding in the Jeep this time. I really enjoyed it.” ...we never left the pavement. |

to many jeeps, parts, and accessories to list here, but apparently enough to keep me in trouble with my wife. |

That's cool Stan 25 years ago Annie and I took a daylong mule trip in Bryce. My mule's name was "No Woah" Annie's was "13". 13? she says to the wrangler, "must be bad luck".. No he says, "that's how many dudes that old mule has left at the bottom of the canyon this summer-don't make us go and have to change her name again"..

Hah! We took a half day mule ride there a few years ago. The cowboy then said “once you ride a mule, you’ll never go back.” Fun outing for me. My daughter was close to tears the whole way. I told her that mule has four feet. It’s not going to get more than one or two of them out into thin air at any given time so stop worrying. She didn’t stop.

Thanks for the photos Stan. My Nancy wants to go see Bryce Canyon and we've been debating about whether we'd bring the Jeep or just use the truck to tour around in. I'm gonna show her this thread and I'll bet she says "bring the Jeep!"

My parents were there for the honeymoon. Dad took lots of slides that I have gone through many times.
My mother did the mule the mule trip to the bottom of GC with her best friend. Yes, the mules stopping in corners with their front hooves inches from the edge scared them to death.

Hey Mike, Bryce is a place that you don’t really need a Jeep but it is fun to have one there. If you are not going to do any hiking you can see all the viewpoints in a day. The Jeep was a lot nicer to park than my truck. There aren’t really any dirt trails in the park for off roading but west of the park around Tropic Reservoir there are many trails. Cedar Breaks National Monument is only abou 70 minutes from Bryce and well worth the drive if you have extra time. Cedar Breaks is spectacular and you can get up there and back in half a day. We stopped on the way back at Panguitch lake and rented a pontoon boat for the afternoon and putted around the lake a couple if times. Here’s Cedar Breaks Pontoon on Panguitch Lake. |

WOW
Great pictures! Our family had a summer cabin at Panguitch lake fro '58-'95. Used to be very good fishing and not crowded. Do miss the area for fishing, hunting, and great Jeeping. |
