At 16.45 we can choose to drive another 32 miles, or drive 8 miles off road to the nearest campground. We choose the last option. The Land Rover has got a hard job, the Model T keeps up with the Land Rover quite well.
off road
We end up at a campsite at an elevation of 9800 ft! We are the only visitors on this nice campground. There are a lot of mosquitoes flying around, so we wrap ourselves up. A smoky campfire also helps. We have some time to select photos and write reports for the website.

I just wanted to share that my wife and I drove behind you this day for a while, in our white pick up with a blue and an orange kayak on top, really enjoying the fact that you have traveled so much and so far in this car! Way to go!
Thanks Shawn.
