Upon graduating from Penn
State in the spring of 96 two important things happened. I got a
1969 Jeep CJ-5 and I took it to Bill's cabin in Pine Creek for a
week of
relaxtion.
|
|
The
Jeep with it's quick "Buy Me" rattle-can paint
job.
|
|
So
it needed some work. That was part of the relaxtion. For most of the
week it was just Bill, me, CJ (the dog), and the
Jeep. What more did we
need?
|
|
I'm
really not sure what it was we were working on as I didn't have any
money. I suppose we were mostly tightening
bolts.
|
|
This is a very common and uncomfortable
position for a
Jeep.
|
|
Once you get into this position, you're pretty
much
stuck.
|
|
But
not stuck like this. One of Bill's classmates came up and we took
the Jeep for a spin. I rolled into this "puddle" too slow and that's
as far as we
got.
|
|
We
had to walk back down to the bottom of the mt. to drive the truck
back to the cabin to get tow ropes and a hand
winch.
|
|
And
that's all it took to get it
out.
|
|
And
lots of cheering. Bill's girlfriend Cheryl, at the time, had come up
to the cabin with some of her sorority sisters.
|
|
Safe and driving
out.
|
|
Finally our week of
relaxtion was through and it was time to tow the Jeep home.
