Why Jeepers Creepers?


Some of you may wonder, "Why the name Jeepers Creepers?" It all started about 3 years ago when our friends Jerry and Terry moved here part time from California. As we got acquainted with each other, we discovered that one of their past times is off-roading or "jeeping" as we like to call it. The funny thing about it was that for months before this, Beverly and I had talked about putting some adventure in our lives and one of things we had talked about was getting a jeep. We had no idea they had a jeep until in a casual conversation they mentioned their jeep and a trip they had planned in September. Hummm....

So, 3 years ago, we went with them to the Durango, Ouray and Telluride, Colorado area for a week of jeeping over the mountain passes in the San Juan Mountains. We rented a jeep and had the time of our lives!! We went places that a lot of people only dream about and saw some of the most beautiful and rugged mountains that you can imagine. We picked the peak time for fall color and enjoyed an assortment of weather including sunshine, rain and snow on the last day.

We have followed up with a trip to Moab, Utah and last year we went back to Ouray, Colorado. It is our favorite place! But, now it is even more fun since we can make a little detour and visit Jeremy and Annie in Denver. We expect them to show us some more beautiful sights in the future. But, no snow caving!!!

Here are a few of our favorite pictures.
