I have to deal with my wife’s 2 dogs so the tailgate goes up and down several tiMessage a day so the Jerry can is out (no, I don’t want to put it on the side). With the way Jeep is being used at present, I’m never more than 5 miles from gas.

Next I stopped and checked on our sunset cabin. 



I stopped by willys canyon, it was tempting to drive down to the bottom….. but chances are I wouldn’t have been able to climb back out without chaining up and it was starting to get dark!



USA!!
Thankful to live in this great country!!

After having to endure the insults that came my way when I ran out of gas a couple times, I bought one of those gallon cans of small engine fuel from Home Depot (and other similar stores). It’s not cheap but it’s in a sealed can and it has stabilizer in it (it may be similar to race gas which lasts forever).  The unopened can is now a part of the “kit” that is in the Jeep on a permanent basis.

Flatfender Saturday!! Clap
First stop the Willys service station…I always want to use the cool gas pump but it’s always out of service OuchWink
I actually started running out of gas just before I was heading out…. Wow that was lucky! Saved me a lot of walking in the snow!Embarrassed apparently I haven’t paid attention to how much gas I’ve been using!
Alright Flatfender Adventure time!!
Oh wait… I decided to stop and grab my tire chains.


Pics loading slow…. More to follow.
