Meziadin Lake, B.C. Swiss couple built this themselves. I talked to them for a few minutes and was going to get together with them later, but ran out of time.

A few from de island, mahn. Almost every single “road” on St. Lucia is unpaved or just a two-track. 4WD is an option at every car rental. The main road that IS paved has some huge challenges to it, add in RHD, blind corners and an impressively deep gutter (2ft dropoff) and it makes for some fun driving. I love this place!

1960 (?) Bedford 3 ton truck, used on a banana plantation. It still runs, but doesn’t move much, ha! The owner was a *little* surprised I wanted a pic of it. Near Mon Repos



Near Vieux Fort, at the Reef Bar

Saw these on a recent trip from Idaho City to Sun Valley, Idaho.





I Love this one talked to the ranger for 10 minutes and she told me that she is ALLOWED to lift it and put off-road bumpers on it if she wanted she was very knowledgable about her Rubicon.




and this one I spotted in Sun Valley. sorry for the blurry pic i was driving through an intersection.

Hey, that was me, I think. Silver Taco? KCOWYO, did you come in late the night before? At the Gunsight Butte overlook?

Default Old video find

Watching an early 90's trans-Africa motorcycle video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvRCG-pDmC4) over at YouTube and spotted this Land Rover. Later it was shown on the road and the roof doesn't lower.



Sorry for the lousy picture, its a screen capture of a poor quality video.
