Toyota FJ Cruiser Road Trip - An FJ in Four Corners



Toyota Fj Cruiser Telluride
We were hoping to enter Telluride via Black Bear Pass, but it didn't happen. After checking out Alta and its lakes, we meandered into Telluride via the pavement. I spotted a bad omen at the edge of town. A big, fat sign declared, "Speed Limit 15 mph All Roads." I shuddered to think what a speeding ticket would cost in a place like this and decided our tour of Telluride would best be a short one.		 Toyota Fj Cruiser Galloping Goose
A refugee from Junkyard Wars? Nope, just proof that today's world does not have a monopoly on mechanical ingenuity or resourcefulness. Pieced together from a bus and a railcar, the Galloping Goose was powered by an automobile gasoline engine instead of a traditional railroad steam engine. The Rio Grande Southern Railroad built a total of seven Geese during the 1930s. All but one of the Geese still exist today, and several are operational. Goose No. 4 is on permanent static display in Telluride.		 Toyota Fj Cruiser Back Packing Stove
We headed straight home after departing Telluride. Hunger often strikes at inconvenient times and places: gotta pull over. The FJ's cargo area doubled as a cooking vestibule. Since melted rubber floor mats didn't seem like a good idea, I perched the backpacking stove on top of a steel ammo can. I left the door open for proper ventilation.
