Where did you take your CJ today?

Now that I don’t get snow days off of work, I’d just as soon it be 70 outside.....

Looks like all the rain you had cut down the dust


Setting up

Any Jeep/camping pics?

I was asked if I’d like to do some light wheeling so took the opportunity. It’s was a nice day warming up to the high 30’s.

I rode gun today.

Found this hut built by a Native American group.

Cool hut - Any idea of age? I wouldn’t think sheets of bark would last too many years.....

Thinking the same. Looks like oak.

 

[shum8]

Any indication of fires inside??

The hut or Wetu is made of cedar sticks and bark from older oak trees built by the local Wompanoag people. I believe it was built on a spiritual site they identified. Appears to be used for gatherings only.

Their was a mound of snow where the ashes would have been but I didn’t disturb the area to find out. Their should have been a piece of removable bark covering the hole at the top of the hut.

By the condition of the hut I would say it was built within the last 5 years.

Go video. Would have been interesting to see them harvest the big sheets of bark.

I agree - That should have been a 30 minute video....

Took it to my local club’s chili contest. Unfortunately, my chili did not win. But I still think it was the best.

Lots of JKUs and JLUs.

 

[Belizean]

Well you still won the competition, Best Jeep !

I win that competition every day. At least until I meet up with my CJ friends for wheeling.

Thanks for sharing gr8dain

Today I found out how durable my paint was with a pinstriping test.
Hit some narrow quad/bike trails

Then went to another location with wider trails.

By the sound of branches scratching the side of the tub (on the first trail) I thought I’d see some pinstripes. Didn’t see any, I’m totally impressed with Majic implement paint.

On another note, after wheeling I stopped by the spray wash bay to knock off the mud. After cleaning it wouldn’t start. Pushed it out of the bay and opened the hood to get some sun and air in the engine compartment figuring some water got in. Checked all the connections under the hood, got it started but wouldn’t stay running. I then checked the passenger compartment where I store my computer dang wires and connectors were wet.

Pulled the computer out and opened it up, I found it dry. Conveniently the car wash was next to a parts store so grabbed some fast drying electric cleaner and dielectric grease. After cleaning, drying, and adding grease it fire up. I even made it home on time for dinner.

I was lucky the water didn’t fry my computer or burn the computer tach filter. I’ll take care of the issue so it doesn’t happen again.

I also used the implement paint. I put a little extra hardner in it because I too frequent pin stripe trails. Cheap and durable.

Ok - my travels just don’t take me to cool spots like Posi finds....... and this post is no different LOL. I did make the long journey the center of my front yard and attempted a photo shoot with the cherry tree that’s in bloom. Ever notice how a camera can never capture what you see ??

Not bad, but not near as nice as it looked in person.

The backlit one was the biggest letdown.....


Ok - it got above 70 today. That can only mean 90+days are soon to follow. IS IT FALL YET???

Looking good but you need to paint your door red.

Someone took some pics of my CJ on the trails. So it is proof that I went. Nothing challenging today. We were training new Jeepers on spotting techniques
