Nice. I am pretty jealous of you getting the hell west of the Mississippi.

I looked around a little bit. The idea does have merit, so I looked
around a little today. I saw one I could see pulling along. The one
thing I really think is important is being able to go places where the
wife wouldn't want to take her new Bronco. I understand she doesn't
want to get it all scratched up going down narrow roads in the woods. I
wouldn't either. But I'm looking for something not new, that I don't
care if it gets a scratch on it. Saw a nice little 2 door Jeep
something or another today that really interested me. It would be quite
a bit less weight than the Bronco too. Maybe over the winter I'll get
something to work on.
