After repairing the sinking fuel tank float on "Hope" this
morning, I took "Jessie" out this afternoon for a 'Colours of Autumn' photoshoot drive.
The last time I tried this was October 2020 and the colour was dark grey
and very wet. I wanted to take both Jeeps out, but Lynne was away for a
few days, so I was on my own. I think the colours may be better in a week or
so, but the weather forecast doesn't look great,
so the trees could be either bare or it will be raining!
As seen above, I shot a head-cam video of the drive, although this is
just a short selection of scenes from the ride. I tried some video with
the screen down to give a clearer view, but the wind noise was too loud
to use it. It was a 20 mile drive with a number of stops along with way
making the ride about an hour and a quarter.
For late October, it was surprisingly warm, even with the screen down. I still
hope to get the vehicles out again before we start getting road salt spreading
as the winter gets closer.
