“Jeeping”, “Off-roading”, or “4x4ing”, whatever the term, these articles are about the care and feeding of our Jeep and our adventures on the trail.
Our motorhome spent 10 days in a Phoenix repair shop after damage from a Colorado windstorm. We lived out of an Airbnb guesthouse, counting down the days—where we distracted ourselves with a new Jeep Badge of Honor trail by conquering the trail to Crown King.

There had been talk for years that trails would be closed by the Bureau of Land Management and since we were there some of these trails are indeed now closed.

We have grown to enjoy the Winter Garden area on the Northwest side of Orlando, Florida. We finally address the issues with the Jeep with a local mechanic.
