James Motor Co.’s Willys Jeep Adv Card on eBay

I thought this was a business card at first, but it is 3.5″ x 8″, so it’s much larger than that. There’s nothing on the reverse side.

Danny’s Junk to Jewel Jeep

Danny recently finished the restoration of his jeep (MB?). It only took him two years (“that’s 2 years of hard graft,” he wrote). A recent, unusual storm, in the United Kingdom gave him a chance to snow-test it. Looks like he had fun!

Just A Couple of Updates

I’m in Salt Lake for a couple days, spending time with my kids. Karson took me mountain biking on Antelope island, which sits in the Great Salt Lake. He managed not to kill this semi-out-of-shape old man. But, it’s clear he is in better shape than I. Here are a few photos.

Ready to ride

Yep, we’ve been riding uphill for quite a while … yep, those are bison ahead. I am too tired to outrun them at this point. My hope was that they would take pity on me and not chase me down.

We made it to the top of a hill. That’s the Wasatch Front in the background. Most of the rest of the trip was downhill.
