Thank you for the good wishes. Diana and I still live overland trips but vicariously. At dinner on the evening that we said goodbye to our trailer we saluted ourselves for the myriad trips we had taken. Among them the Owyhees in SW Idaho to Namibia

Hello everyone. It's been a long, long time since I visited this site. Lots of miles have passed under my "wheels"...and under those of my truck. Diana and I have now reached our mid-eighties and we no longer take those wonderful overland trips. I would find it difficult, if not impossible, to...

On the Home page there's a Tool Bar across the top. Fourth from the left is "On TV". If you scroll over that there's a drop-down that has "SBS" and "Watch On-line". There's also a "Schedule". In addition in the Tool Bar below the banner there's another heading of "TV Schedule". When I click on...

I'm getting SBS HERE. Is that not working for you, or am I not understanding your problem? There are a few other live feeds as well. I'll check back with you tomorrow, but after that I may not get back to Expo for the duration of the Rally. Allen R

It's not "watching" it per se, but I'll be using THIS SITE for live up-dates. I'll have three computers, each with split screens following a couple of forums (not this one), and a few news sites such as EUROSPORT, Australian TV, and Marathon Rally. In addition, one of my phones will be dedicated...

You like the long-shots, eh? :) I love Franz Echter's quote last year after finishing 5th in first MAN across the line, “If it wasn't for Kamaz, I would have won!" Kamaz filled the first four spots. Allen R

And just to get the adrenalin rushing again (vicariously, naturally) here's a PROMO video from the ASO. It's a good 4½ minutes...especially at about the 3:08 part showing a Nissan slingshoting out of an "ant trap". Allen R

Here's a LINK to a video of the Overdrive Toyota Hilux (photo below) that Orly and Andy will be in. Just got word from Andy that he arrived in Buenos Aires but not w/o a couple of flight delays. Allen R

In our part of Idaho Silver Ck downstream from Hwy 93 between Richfield and Carey is open all year. Catch and release and some nice fish this time of year. Twice within the past two weeks Rooney (our German wirehair pointer) and I have taken partridge in the a.m. and then released a few trout in...

Not all the blame for this incident needs to put at the feet of RG. Yes, he's a "balls to the wall" racer, but I've read from an RG team-member that his co-driver at the B1K failed to call out the turn ahead to him. Uncharacteristically of RG he didn't get on his co-dog's case...but that may...

I didn't know coyotes hunted wolves with a 'predator call'. Talented little suckers. Allen R

Yep. I'll be following Jonah (#19. Yamaha), Cody (#9, Honda), Suesse (#81, KTM) on the bikes. In the cars I'll have a special interest in Overdrive Toyota's #308. :) I also see that Bill Conger, also a USA entrant, will be on a Husqvarna #188, but I don't think he'll be a contender. Allen R

Interesting article. If one is interested in the Salton Sea, its history and possible future, I recommend William de Buys' book, Salt Dreams, Land and Water in Low Down California (Univ. NM Press, 1999), with photos by Joan Myers. Allen R

It is. We have more in our collection but are not in any hurry to liquidate everything. The coin that Diana found in a sand dune on a remote beach (in the northern hemisphere is all I'll say regarding location) dated from the early 19th century. Allen R

In the "for what it's worth" category, I just deposited $1,790.00 into our checking account after selling three coins that we found. We discovered two with a metal detector; the third was just with Diana's eagle-eye. Allen R.

I shot one of those last fall. Very tasty. Allen R

Yep, I know that, but for some quirky, stupid reason I thought about only four-legged, non-feathered, non-gilled meat. My error. Allen R

I didn't include gamebirds in my list since the OP's question was 'animal', but if they are then chukar rates first for us, pheasant second in the bird category. Allen R

In N. America I choose elk (wapiti). I've eaten deer (three species), moose, reindeer, pronghorn, goat, and sheep...and a few rodents. Still choose elk as favorite. In Great Britain the red deer is my favorite. On the Continent I've experienced only red deer (roebuck) and hare. Neither...

I agree. We had a local convicted a few years ago. He was using a backhoe on an archaeological site. He served some time and paid a fine. Nice unit. I don't own one, but recently I sold some old coins to a dealer and he showed me some units. The xterra 705 was one of them. He's loaned me an...
