Couple years ago I detected old mining areas near Breckenridge Colorado, up a jeep trail in the back of a PU truck. My old bones really got shook up. Now I "may" be able to buy a used vehicle that will do well on jeep trails. Not interested in ATVs or expensive off-road rigs. Not interested in off road tires. In fact the narrower the better. Stick or auto doesn't matter, something with a higher center? and easy to handle. My old VW Beetle was perfect. Just basic transportation to get neat up wherever it goes. Old, new whatever. Something YOU would trust to get you there and back. I'm in Colorado so high plains, foothills and mountains are fair game for me. Just can't hike much anymore and the good wife gets mad if I high center the new Camry. To her it's a big deal.. I have thought about older Mercedes which were reliable. Not a Jeep or Explorer guy. Friends old Ford Ranger was OK. If I will the Lotto then I'd pick a Range Rover. How about you? Thanks in advance.. Bob Snare Arvada Colorado
