This week's picture came about from an Internet contact from a gentleman named Philip Schey.  Phillip had been searching the web and came across some pictures of some San Juan Scenic Jeeps  that immediately caught his attention.  Back in 1975 Phillip was hired on as a driver for The San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours out of Ouray.  He was 21, newly married, and drove from the early Spring through the end of the season.  He mentioned that the FC's he drove were powered by the Chevy 6 and you could really do some tricks with them.  Well of course this email caught my attention!  I pulled out my Tour Jeep pictures and looked up 1975 to see if by chance I might have something that Phillip might remember.  Shazam!!  I hit the motherload.  A shot of Phillip standing in front of his vehicle with passengers aboard!  I'm sure he was just as surprised as me to see the picture and he said that given a little time he might be able to share a few stories of his Tour Jeep adventures that summer.  I sure hope so!  One more piece of FC history uncovered.
