Last night Amanda and I headed out to Grand Junction’s annual Parade of Lights on Main Street. We found a spot at 4th and Main to watch and take some photos. Here’s a few…

Today, Amanda and I headed up to Powderhorn Ski Resort for their Color Sunday event. We wanted to ride the ski lift and check out the Fall Colors while we were up there. Luckily we got there when we did, as there was no line for the lift. However, after our ride the line for the lift was very long! The ride too almost an hour and the colors on the Grand Mesa were changing nicely. We had fun. After our ride, we had some lunch and checked out the resort before heading back home. I also checked the place out, since I am planning on trying skiing for the first time this winter 
Here’s a few photos I snapped while we were on the lift.
Staring up, we were facing the sun the whole way…

Well, I have managed to get all of my photos from the 25th Anniversary Event uploaded to my galley and organized by trail. Feel free to check out the full gallery here:
Hopefully I will start working on my trip report shortly 
Just got back from spending all day at Zach’s shop with a small group of friends. We spent most of the day working on Doug’s Jeep.
Here’s a few pictures from the day

Just got home from TIJA’s Chili for Charity event that was held at The Cliffs Insane Terrain. Was a good time for a great cause. The chili was good, and so was the raffle
As always, here’s some pictures from the day.

Today Amanda and I went to the Terra Jeep Club November meet and greet located at NTB in New Lenox. We had an RTI ramp there and got to see some old friends and meet some new people. Here’s a few pictures from the event.
John (lesslimited) and his wife Cindy held their annual Brewfest today at their home. I’ve made it to a few of these over the last few years and it’s always a good time to meet with some local XJ owners and have some good food. This year was no exception. As the event name implies, this event is based around John’s hobby of brewing his own beer, and he has a number of beers available and also brewed one during the event. I’m not a drinker, so I can’t comment about that aspect, but everyone else there seems to enjoy his brews.
Here’s a few pictures from the day
