Awesome colors this year, and I didn't see any dust!

Keep the pictures coming as this really makes my days brighter!

Looking good.

Did no one use the Grampa's Jeep route up the Grizzly Lake gatekeeper on the right side?

Got a little ache in my heart.  Even though I've only experience one day of the Fall Color Tour, looking at these pics makes me very nostalgic for that one day and desirous to experience the whole week. 

 Sigh....

Us flatfender flatlanders have to live this kind of jeeping vicariously so keep the pictures coming...

I would love to be able to take Ol' Red to the mountains once in our lives, but without a truck and trailer the chances of that happening are slim to none.

Thanks to all that take the time and trouble to sponsor this event (Mike & Nancy) and those persons who take the pictures so that those of us that will probably never be able to participate can at least experience it by pictures and video.

Two more successful runs today!  And no breakdowns on either Iron Chest or Marshall Pass.  And the weather was again beautiful.  So this afternoon we took on a small project.  We decided to spell out FCT 17 with Jeeps and shoot it with jpet's drone.  Here is the result!



This was fun to create.  We used almost every Jeep that we had, including the GPA amphibious Jeep. (can you find it?)  I think we've started a new tradition here.  At least as long as we have a drone to shoot the photo.  I don't have a ladder tall enough.  The mountain in the background is Mt. Princeton, the target for one of our tours tomorrow.

Those pics look like it another successful CFCT!
Where is the CJ2A Page Roaming Reporter these days?
I for one would like to see some on the scene reporting videos.

no, Stan.  We didn't take the "Grampa's jeep line" on Grizzly.  It's toooo scary!Confused

It looks like you almost got all of the vehicles circled to fend off the evil savages. I wish I was there but I have flower beds to deal with.
Damn.

No Stan,

Like Rick said, that would be crazy!  We did go back to Gatekeeper again today for a while. Stand by for news.
