    A minor mishap held me up near Colorado Springs today.

    After a lot of frustration in the autozone parking lot, I'm back on the road.

    I am shocked as well. Don't look minor to me.

    I'm guessing the caliper seized?

    Before meeting the seller yesterday, I stopped by the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.

    Sadly, I was only able to spend a little over an hour there. I could have spent a month...

    I was hoping to drive this Jeep at least through Colorado. Unfortunately, it doesn't run well enough for the road, the steering is awful, and it has a broken windshield. I'm pretty frustrated that it was not as described, but the seller did bring down the price a bit.

    Loaded up and ready to go. Only 1350 miles to home!

    I pulled over for one last picture with the mountains.

    Sucks that the seller wasn't accurate on the description, but at least he came down on price so that's good. At least it apparently tows good so it must still be a pretty good deal. Certainly looks it.
