Winter is here (in Pasco … it won’t get above 27 degrees today). So, this photo from Eric Jarvis reminded me of warmer days. It was taken in Dannemora, New York.

It was taken in front of his shop in the first part of August.  Not all are his jeeps , three are his  brothers and two are his friends.  From left to right, Steve Jarvis’ 1965 CJ-5, purchased from Don Prine; Eric Jarvis’ 1943 GPW, also purchased from Don Prine; Steve Jarvis’ 1972 CJ-5 Renegade w/ amc 304 v8 and his 2004 Rubicon; Eric Jarvis’ 1968 CJ-5 with buick v6 and 1946 VEC CJ-2A; Todd Perry’s 1951 CJ-3A; Eric Jarvis’ 1970 cj5 Auburn trencher; Eric Jarvis’ 1965 CJ-5; Bob Stiles’ 1961 CJ-5 w /t-98 transmission; and Eric jarvis’ 1967 cj5 w buick v6, his CJ-3A, and his 1964 CJ-5, the latter two both having Koenig PTO winches installed.

Seth told me about the Museum of the American G.I. The museum is located in College Station, Texas, and has multiple jeeps. Unfortunately, I could only find one jeep. We didn’t get a chance to reach College Station this spring, but I’m sure we will be back soon. My niece just won a Reigning scholarship at SMU. I guess she’s coming down to Texas to teach them how to ride a horse :-). Seriously, she’s one of the top riders in the country and a great person too match. Texas is lucky to get her!
