Cool Would You?


One of my favorite Jeep pictures.
It was supposedly from a Jeep advertisement many years ago.
Next summer, I'd like to take the wife and kids out to Colorado and
ride a few of the passes and Black Bear road where this was supposedly taken, then on over to Moab.

Now the question, I've never seen any other pictures resembling this road.
If it we knew where it was would YOU drive it?

Myself, NO I have an aversion to heights and not ready to meet my maker yet.

Why not, if I could choose where to meet my doom it would be in my XJ! Only then could I die happy.

Another site mentioned this one and that road might actually be an old narrow gauge track bed.
http://www.narrowgauge.org/4x4/html/4X4.html
Animas Fork makes mention of an old Narrow Gauge track, but not picture yet.

Just dawned on me that with all the younger folks here, they might have never heard of "Black Bear Road" by CWMcCall.
