I am thinking of going next year. Just trying to figure out how to tow the Jeep and a camper.
Tomorrow we may face destiny, we may fight and die and fall to the fires of perdition, but tonight is ours, and we drink and make merry.

Dusty,
I do think there are some FSJ'ers in the Globe area, either here or on the IFSJ. Hope you and the rig get home safely!

I bought a J10 outside of Show Low way back when.. flew out to Phoenix, rented a uhaul and dolly, drove out there and drug the poor thing back to VA. Not much out there as I recall.
One day I will wake up and realize that my jeep is complete...one day, I just know it.

I had a great time! I wish the jeep hadn't broken but that's part of it. I still got some good runs in and it was fun being the passenger with Kevin on Friday. So much more to see when you are not watching the trail.

OK we FINALLY made it back early Monday morning the 23rd. As some of you know, we left Simi Valley, CA Monday the 16th at 1030am. Had to return home Tuesday morning at 130am due to my towing truck overheating. Borrowed a friends Ford truck and left again Tuesday morning at 730am. Had minor issues with that truck and finally got to Ouray Wednesday morning about 1130. My J10 decided to not run good Thursday or Friday so didn't get to do much wheeling (maybe 3 miles total). Anyway, we left Saturday morning, had an axle bearing on the trailer go out at 130am in California. Had to unload the J10, chain up the axle on the trailer and tow it home empty on 3 wheels. Then returned that afternoon/evening and flat towed the jeep home. So we spent about 70 hours driving on a 20 hour driving trip and the J10 didn't even wheel :( But, it was great to see everyone and we have booked the same cabin for next year (fuel injection will be installed by then). Thank you all for putting this on.
