This YJ in Key West has seen some ports!

Meet Cameron Hobby, the captain of the Blind Squirrel, which I stayed on in Key West. Not only is he a great captain, but he is also a long time Jeeper.  He is the very proud owner of a 91 YJ…mileage unknown because the odometer stopped working years ago but Ge is guessing over 300K. His father bought the 91 YJ brand new and Cameron bought it from his dad at the age of 16....12 years ago. His YJ has seen some cities and some countries. Cameron is from Fort Myers, FL and he has driven his YJ twice to California and four times to New Jersey. He use to load it onto the roof of a commercial long boat to go fishing way off shore. So it’s been to Hawaii, Panama, San Diego and Galveston, TX. It’s got a bit of rust but he says the frame has stopped rusting because there is so much oil on it. It has the original straight six but his YJ is on it’s second tranny. Cameron is hoping to get a few more miles out of it… and I think that may happen.
