A rolling stone gathers no moss....

Same goes for Jeeps.    After nearly 14,000 miles in six weeks the Jeep enjoyed a rest in the driveway.  However in this time some life sprung up along the windshield seams.   Some plant spores fed by nutrient rich dust and ample water coming down the windshield took root and flourished, briefly.
Something's growing
More something
The Comanche's "rest" was nearly six weeks before I took to looking after its wounds.  I had the catalytic converter replaced and found several intake manifold bolts went missing during our journey.  We also now have a leaking power steering unit, leaking front shocks and our tires are badly worn and cracked. The later will have to wait till budget allows for repairs.

The early snow in the North East (Halloween weekend) brought a lot of trees and limbs down.  The Jeep was called into service pulling some large hanging limbs to the ground at my parents house.  This added insult to injury with it's all ready badly mangled bumper.
Boo-boo bumper
The Jeep is happily resigned to hauling firewood and bikes around for the time being.
