My 81. Been in and out of the shop all summer getting a variety of things fixed. Hopefully it'll hold together now until winter so I can get some use out of it.

I wish it was Wyoming, that picture was taken in Alamo Nevada about 100 miles north of Las Vegas via highway 93. Beautiful drive up through Ely and Wells into Twin falls.
