With the help of many, I was able to restore a rusted,
straight six, ‘81 Jeep Scrambler into The Freedom Vessel:
Chariot of Adventure. This Chariot not only moved its occupants
through time and space, incredible landscapes, inclement weather
and into broad strong friendships, but through the adventure of
life.
The Jeep is an extension of my movement and philosophy
through life. Confidently open to all the elements it encounters,
willing to take the good with the bad, able to fix about almost
anything that could go wrong, and most of all, if life got difficult,
you could slam it in 4x4, lock in the hubs and hammer the gas
through it. Forget the road signs of conformity; I’ll make
my own road. Rollin’ on with the eyes of fire lit inside
the cow skull, cigar lit, the Dead cranked above the sound of
the wind and rain, living each sweet turn of the wheel - wild
eyed, smiling, and enjoy in the ride.
