What happened to Carl?
« on: August 28, 2018, 10:11:54 AM »
Hey guys
I've been a member here for some time now, and now that I've retired I've had the chance to reflect on some things that in the past I had no time to do.  The other day I was reflecting on this page and some of the interesting folks we've had on it and I remembered a guy named Carl.  I believe he was from Kentucky?? not sure but he did take his jeep out to southern Utah a time or two to ride trails with another member.  They posted some really nice pics of the trails and the countryside.  Not sure why I was thinking of him but I recalled that I've not seen any posts from either of these guys for a while.  Anybody re-call these two and have a sense for what they are doing now?

Carlsjeep and Calvin Hunt.  No idea, people come and go.  I used to love the beautiful photos and trip descriptions that Calvin would post.  Good stuff!

Calvin moved from Blanding over to the Southwest corner of Utah. I haven't been in contact with Carl in some time, I hope he is doing well.

Carl's account did something weird and he couldn't log in.
I've got him fixed now so you should see him around soon.

I reached out to Calvin earlier this year.  He still lives in Utah, but moved to an area where there aren't as many Jeep trails, so he doesn't get out as much as he would like to.  He doesn't know of any other local Flat Fender drivers in his current area.  He and Carl still hook up every year for trail rides.  I too wish they would share those adventures, but maybe they don't think we would enjoy them.

I have enjoyed all their trip posts.
I hope they will continue.
