Hi Jeepster Gal!!! Well, its nearly that time of year again. On the 22nd of next month we will be loading our 4x4 with camera and camping gear with our sights set on the Elk Mtns and the San Juans. It will be interesting to see what time frame the aspens will be on this year since it was such a cool and wet Spring. Looking forward to a very colorful Autumn in Colorado! Keep those vidoes coming!!

@fastpony71 Thanks for watching! Haven't done much four wheelin' this summer but I do have videos from last summer that need editing! Thanks for watching and enjoy your trip!

Great video! This is my favorite part of Colorado. What is the name of this song?

[JeepsterGal]

@TheThirdPope Music:

"I'm Going Home to Colorado" by Homeward Bound (circa 1980) Song written by Rod Pringle. These are friends of mine :) Awesome song, huh? You can hear them perform in San Antonio, Texas if you're ever there. This was recorded 31 years ago.

@JeepsterGal It has that John Denver sound and theme that I like. It may sound cliche, but the music of John Denver (And music like it) is perfect for Colorado. Every once in awhile I consider moving back to Colorado, but right now it just isn't feasible.

[JeepsterGal]

@TheThirdPope Yep, I think he wrote it in the late 70s, and there wasn't a singer/songwriter/guitarist alive at that time who wasn't influenced by John. They covered a lot of his tunes back then as well. I have a killer version of Denver's song "Prisoners" by these guys, as well as Poems, Prayers and Promises, Rocky Mountain High, Welcome to the Morning, Cold Nights in Canada, etc...amazing stuff...John Denver was amazing. Hope you make it back here one day! I moved here 11 years ago and love it
