Every year, on the last day of the FJ Summit, they gather everyone that is able to get up in time on Main St. for a 'Group Photo'.
The first year, they did it in a gravel parking lot on the north end of town, but every year since, they've done it downtown.
The city is nice enough to close off an entire block of Main Street for an hour to allow for this wonderful, gratuitous nonsense :lol:

This edited photo (froma hike we did in 2010) highlights the block used for this event...

Here's Sandi on the morning of the last day. A very fitting place for such a beauty...

 

Sunshine on the mountain that you can see when you're looking west at the intersection of Main and 6th...




 

This is the official photography crew, taking the photo that will go down as the defining moment from this day in history.
On the left is Shane (Colorado FJ Cruiser owner, and proprietor of FJC Magazine)...

 

For those interested,here is a page on the FJ forum where I maintain a list of 'group photos' from over the years.

This is a view from on top of Sandi...her external 'Geri' container from Expedition One in the foreground.









 

This is from immediately after the official photography session ended, and people were starting to find their way back to their respective rigs,
and for most of us, time to hit the road, on our way home again.

 

My two wives :lol:
