Friday, 13 October, 2023- A lot has happened in the last couple of months. First, I shattered the transfer case in the High Plains Drifter Jeep. Then, a couple of weeks later, on the way to Gulches, the same thing happened to the Pale Rider Jeep- Shattered transfer case. The show must go on, and I arrived at Gulches in a Lexus! Now, two weeks later, I’m on my way to another COLORS 4X4 event, “Wild Weekend at WindRock” in a Lexus. The plan was to meet with some COLORS 4X4 members and ride along with them. We decided to rent a side-by-side to follow along and get some pictures. DCIM100GOPROGOPR0962.JPG
I’m not complaining, but the trip was only supposed to take 8 hours. With all of the wrecks and Google map diversions, we spent over 12 hours on the road. The people at WindRock are top notch, and left a package for us on the porch of the registration office! We went straight to the yurt and unpacked for the weekend.
Saturday, 14 October, 2023- Early Saturday morning, I met Keith at the store, and he set us up with a sky blue Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 1000 and a list of trails he recommended. With a cooler full of cokes and my camera bag, we hit the trails, headed for the overlook! This is the first time I have ever seen the mountains in October… I always listened to people talk about how beautiful the Autumn colors were, but I could never get a weekend off to see it for myself. For a day shy of 57 years, I’d only been able to see it through someone else’s viewfinder.DCIM100GOPROGOPR0497.JPG
Sunday, 15 October, 2023- All good things must come to an end… So we’re leaving Tennessee, driving through the backroads, and we stop at a few places to take some pictures.
