I’ve been a Jeep Liberty fan for as long as I’ve been nomadic. When I first started living on the road in April 2006, I traded my beloved Toyota Prius with a friend for her 2002 Jeep Liberty. Her Jeep was the perfect match for the small Tab Trailer that I had set up to […]

Jeep Brain Madness
Yesterday we stopped for lunch in Susanville, CA on our way towards Sacramento. When we started off again, our 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD began acting weird. Every few minutes there would be a ding, and the ESP/BAS, traction control, and ABS yellow error lights on the dash would turn on. Within an instant, they would […]
Video Edition: Buckskin Mountain Jeep Trail
When our fellow Jeep & Oliver Travel Trailer owner hosts in Lake Havasu City suggested we might enjoy The Desert Bar – a remote grill and bar literally in the middle of nowhere outside Parker, AZ – they further suggested that we should take our 4×4 Jeeps the backway down a moderately rated off highway […]
Jeep Life (YouTube Commercial!)
I’ve been meaning to post this for a while now… A few months ago, I received the following comment on this photo found in my Flickr set: Hey did you guys know this pic is in a jeep commercial? I was thinking about getting a tab and have seen your pics before and as I […]
Have Fun Out There!
As I posted about a few weeks ago, Jeep bought twenty-two photos from Cherie and I for its “Have Fun Out There” advertising campaign. It looks like they ended up using thirteen of them. Can you find them? (Click here for the answers…) This mosaic ran as a huge two-page spread today in USA Today, […]
The True Spirit of Jeep / Have Fun Out There!
A few weeks ago I was contacted via Flickr mail by Jeep’s PR agency: You have some great shots! I especially love the ones of your Tab and Burning Man! I sent you an email a little while ago about using some of your photos in a Jeep ad. You’re photos have a great feel […]
Introducing Jeep v2… (Diesel!)
The universe lined up the perfect Jeep for us – right when and where we needed it. Who am I to say no? Introducing our new 2006 Diesel Jeep Liberty CRD, Jeep v2 (VeeTwo?): We spent a long sweaty day in the hot Texas sun yesterday moving EVERYTHING from Jeep v1 to v2. We had […]
Amazing $13k tires increase fuel economy by 50%!!!
Jeep needs four new shoes. And though I had planned on waiting until California to buy them for her, the spinout and unrepairable flat from last week have accelerated the timetable dramatically. She also needs an alignment, and an oil change. And likely soon a new battery, and some repair work on the battery cable. […]
Stirred, not Shaken…
Thursday started with a bang… We had spent the night in Walnut Creek State Park, near Tulsa, OK. Our spot was perfect, right on the shore of Keystone Lake. It was a truly beautiful place. We awoke to nature putting on a show for us – with thunder and lightening starting our day. Fortunately our […]
