Post subject:  Adventures in the Southwest '07
Greetings all. I thought I'd take up some bandwidth and post some pix of our Liberty expressing its jeepiness on our last trip out west. (I didn't want to post just images of my Jeep being pulled out of the mud by my Amish neighbor...I don't want you guys to think I'm a complete idiot.)

First up, my wife driving back from Chicken Corners, south of Dead Horse Point near Moab, Utah.

Posing at Hurrah Pass, on the way back from Chicken Corners.

Beauty shot of the Liberty with Dead Horse Point in the background. Taken along the White Rim Trail, near Musselman Arch in Canyonlands National Park.
Image

A nice big rock frames our Liberty along the Long Canyon Road.

Driving through Pucker Pass on the Long Canyon Road, north of Dead Horse Point.

View through the windshield as we drive up the Shafer Trail in Canyonlands National Park.

Here's a Liberty in use by the National Park Service at Arches. The rangers there said they use the Liberty on both front country and back country patrols.
Image

Parked along the Cottonwood Canyon Road in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Utah.
Image

Parked at a "ski jump" along the Last Dollar Road near Telluride. I have no idea why this ramp is there, but theres a great view from the end of it.
Image

I had tried very hard to get a good coat of mud on the Jeep. I had a nice selection of sediments from Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Monument Valley and Colorado. Unfortunately it all washed off in a thunderstorm on I-70 in Kansas on the way home.

More adventures to come this September, when we drive back to Moab (camping along the White Rim Trail) and Ouray (going on the Jeep Jamboree).

Hey, the phone rang and rang and nobody picked up!

Great pictures, esp. like the hand print on the rear corner in the second picture, for some reason it looks like it should be there??? :lol: :lol:

Yeah, it was intentional. We had visited Elephant Hill the previous day. There was no way that our Liberty was going to make it up and down that hill (at least, not then), so I mixed up some Elephant Hill mud and slapped an Anasaziesque handprint on the side panel (we added a second one on the other side with dirt from Monument Valley.)

I really like the perspective on this picture. That rock really dwarfs your jeep.
