   My guess, every one of those kids will have a Jeep later in life.

   Those poor kids don’t have a chance! A life of addiction is not pretty. My first jeeping trip was in Ouray Colorado in 1965 while visiting my aunt and uncle that lived there. I was 5 years old and have had the monkey on my back since! I can never get enough of pictures like that! Good job Dan, you’re a good man!

   -Hi Bob in nc. On the fourth day of our trip my third son who was set on a lifted truck for his first rig asked if it would be alright if he got a jeep instead…
   -Hi Roger in Oregon. We’ll hope that jeeps are the worst addiction they’ll catch!

   In a go go go loud world of busyness I’ve found an overwhelming amount of freedom in stepping into the 6v haven of 45mph top speed. Taking every long way around I can and nothing to listen to but kids laughing and the wind rushing by.

   I feel like I’m looking at pictures from childhood in the 60’s. Except my dad had a Scout. I barely remember the yellow ’57 CJ5 he had before (upgrading?).

   I’ve seen those forward cabs, but my uncle had what I think was a fairly new FJ40 and a flatfender. My cousin was a driver for those tours back during the 70’s & 80’s. That company used 4wd Suburban’s with the roofs cut out. A fun song for younger kids (and me too) is the “you drive army jeep car” better know as Black Bear Road by C.W. McCall. Dan, did you guys camp out of the fatties for those 4 days?
