Calvin and I post a lot of trail photo's in hopes that ya'll will take your Jeeps on something besides a city street. If you own an show Jeep or Garage Queen maybe you need to buy a beater to drive on the trails to enjoy why a Jeep was made in the first place.
Here is a shot of Mac and Robin on the Lower Recapture dugway going the opposite way we usually go.

Here Mac is going down the trail that led to a ruin in the Blue Mtn. and the road is more difficult than can be shown in the photo. It's hard to really show the difficulty of a trail in a photo. This is the trail that almost threw Calvins wife out of the Jeep but Emily in the back seat grabbed her and puller her back into the Jeep.
I didn't see the same difficulty on the trail this year as Mac and I climbed the hill to the ruin.

This is a shot of the Causeway between the Blue Mtns. and the Elk Mtns. but in Ky we call it a saddle between mountains. Of course here in Utah they have real mountains not at all like the Appalachia mountain range. We are standing on a road that is about 20 ft. wide with a thousand foot or more drop.

If you own a Jeep made between 1941 and up to the CJ5 you need to take it on a REAL trail that tests it's true grit and yours as well.
Owning a show Jeep or garage queen is only having 1% of the enjoyment of owning a Real Jeep. It's hard to describe the thrill of using a Jeep the way it was designed to be used. To be honest, I feel sorry for those that don't ever really put their Jeep to a trail for the thrill of it and enjoy just what a Jeep can do.�
