It's Moose Monday

After a light snow year, I think the wildlife had a bit of a respite. Here are a few photos of a mommy moose and her two babies. One pair was found just west of Gothic and the other on Cement Creek. It's always a pleasure and almost magical feeling every time I run into wildlife, being wild. We're so blessed to have these moments!

What Makes Us Different?

On a recent vacation I got the chance to do a little market research. I rented a vehicle which claims to compete with a Jeep. However, as seen in the photo the differences were quite clear. On the left you will see that the Jeep has real tires, BF Goodrich T/A’s which is the only tire we us. On the right, you can see the imposter’s attempt of an off-road tire. Tires often overlooked is literally what connects the vehicle to the ground. Providing increased traction, real tread and the sidewall protection you need.
