Jeep Keeper

Posted by: Rick Cain in From the Lens Room

Today my Jeep arrived. I have wanted one since high school days and since my daughter is taking my car to college and I am turning the big 50 this year, I ordered the dream Jeep. It is a thing of beauty. I should have gotten one a long time ago. I have had Cherokee’s in the past but never a Wrangler. The two are completely different critters. I like the Wrangler much better. I can justify the purchase as well since I have to brave rising tidal waters from time to time to keep the light operational during hurricanes… OK, I’ve never had to brave rising tidal waters in the past (just wind) to keep the light operational. But if I had to brave rising tidal waters I’m ready! The Coast Guard had jeeps here at the lighthouse during WWII, so I’m just carrying on traditions… right?

Looks shiny....and how did you manage that photo-op in front of the tower :-)

Too shiny for a Jeep... and I have friends in high places at the lighthouse

Ha! I have a Jeep too! I love pulling my bright yellow inflatable boat with it. People around here have never seen such a sight. Of course, I think I just look like ketchup and mustard (Jeep is red).

P.S. Just saw your comment on the Craighill blog and also updated.
