Too bad you aren't local, I would love to help on the build. I have a full metal and machine shop and love reviving old iron. My Cherokee is 35 years old.

A good section of that road goes through BLM land that is leased by ranchers. Apparently they had to much problem with people not closing the gates and cattle getting out, so they took it upon themselves to lock the gate. While the legality of locking it to the general public may be in...

Pole hill is normally closed with a locked gate so good luck. Used to do that a lot a few years back.

You mean where you turn off of Peak to Peak highway and go up towards Middle St. Vrain and take Bunce School road? Middle St. Vrain is nice with the campgrounds at Camp Dick and Peaceful Valley. If you keep going up, you can take the trail south over to Coney Flats, but it is a bit rough...

Mesa Verde National Park circa 1978

Outside of Telluride, Colorado circa 1978 this is a recent unretouched scan of a 40+ year old 6x7 transparency. The colors have shifted and faded and there is a ton of dust. Hopefully I can get it back looking like it did.

The pix was taken outside Moab Utah at a feature called Gemini Bridges. If you look up you can see that there are two side by side arches. Most people visit the easy to get to top side, but I think looking at it from underneath is more impressive. I would have to do some looking, but I think...

Good eye.! Yes, from the bottom side. I think it is called Bull Canyon IIRC. Not that many people make it down there.

I have carried a multimount 9000# winch for the last 20 years of rockcrawling. I have used it 4 times to help others get unstuck, never for myself, and I do a ton of serious rock crawling. I have learned that the importance of winches is overrated and the importance of experience is underrated.

Having been a professional photographer, I love your pix. I can't wait to get home to my trailer and get it out on the road.

Studded tires are the way to go on snowpack and ice. They are illegal in some states. Where I grew up, 9000 ft elevation in Northern Colorado, we routinely had 3 ft on the level, so boards would be of little use. For around the farm, we put them on in the Fall and took them off in the...

I am diabetic and have lived on a low carb/high protein regimen for decades. I find it works well on the trail. If I get time I will post up many meals I prepare on the trail. My motto is 'if it doesn't light up your tasetbuds, toss it" Here is a teaser. Feeds many Dice and fry up a can of...

Working in Binghamton, NY, missing Colorado

How are things shaking. Hope all is creeping along fine there ;-)

My Jeep does not leak oil... it is just marking it's territory.

Heck, in Minnesota those stickers would be called rust proofing.

I actually use one of the less expensive sets of sockets both english and metric, just because of that and the fact it fits flat in the bottom of my tool bag. Surprisingly they are not that bad. The ratchets are marginal, but I supplement with a couple of good ratchets.

If you are thinking about plumbing it in the trailer, we should talk. I found some nice stainless steel bulkhead fittings for the exhaust, and lots of accessories for running the rest of the ducting, such as a flexible exhaust hose you can cut to length, insulation for the hot hose, short...
