The SCORE San Felipe 250 is March 9 - 11, 2007. Allen R

Oh man, Ara, I'm thoroughly enjoying your trip and accounts and regret that I had not seen your thread until today. That's partly owing to the fact that we were in Baja until 11/28 and I'm only now getting caught up. Sorry I didn't catch you on Avery Island, LA. Allen R PS - Scooter sends...

Welcome Martyn. Nice to have you here. We look forward to reports and pix. Allen R

I should have mentioned that our system (Datastorm) will work with a portable dish/horn as well, but I chose the automated seek/point/spot system for no better reason than I like the idea of a self-propelled, GPS-driven automatic dish. It's not w/o its faults, however. I also should have...

Our system, Motosat Datastorm, is not compact, and a major drawback is that it is mounted on our ATRV visible in the photo below in the stowed position. It's mounted on the top-forward deck. (I'll look through my photo files and see if I have one with the dish deployed.) Like any satellite...

Andy took Diana for a ride over the "old" road parallel to the new one along the Punta Bufeo stretch (tell-tale on the speedometer indicated 83mph) in his pre-runner and she returned beaming saying, "I want one!" At first I was elated, thinking, "Wow. I can now go out and buy some trick...

I'm giving this thread a bump owing to the recall notice I received from Toyota concerning the replacement of the steering relay rod at no cost to the owner. This recall just might be related to problems mentioned in this thread as the years affected are '89 - '95. Our SR5 is a 93, yet Toyota...

Good, fun thread, Bear. :eatchicke I'm glad you captioned your photos, though, since I could swear that your first pic is a distress flare, and, speaking of swearing, KC, I thought that you'd sworn off that junk-food stuff. I know that we have some other photos floating around in our files...

Justin, thanks for posting the words and pix. I don't know how we missed you at Gonzaga/Papa's/Bufeo, but we did. We drove over to get a few items (tortillas at Papa's particularly) and saw Joe D at Papa's---actually at a friend's house near the cafe. You had a good location at CP3. Nice...

Sorry you had that experience, Skillet. Leaking water containers are a nuisance as well as inconvenient. We, however, like our Reliance containers. We did have one to spring a leak at a crease after years of use (improperly stored by me), but two that we purchased in 1987 are still in use. I...

Jonathan, I agree. There's something to be said for traditional equipment and charts. I still carry charts/maps and, occasionally, a sextant. Although the truck came with one of those NSEW indicators, I like to know the 'point' so I have a compass mounted and properly 'swung' to make up for...

Welcome to ExPo, Schattenjäger. That's a great trip you have coming up. If you think you might not be back that way anytime soon, you might give some thought to taking the road (dirt) out to Telegraph Ck from Deese Lk. Spectacular scenery in the Stikine Gorge. You can ask about road...

Here's an interesting link to Donohoe Racing's FJ being readied for the upcoming B1K. http://www.donahoeracing.com/project_detail.php?projectID=12 A "Brady" is mentioned in Post #10 in a related link about the FJ on RDC. http://www.race-dezert.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22805 Ummmmmmm...

You have my vote for more random images...but we're a little sensitive when references to "old couples" are made. Being "pensioners" we do have our pride, you know. :littlefriend: :p Allen R. (In the last of my Sexygenarian Years) PS: Neat LC diesel and camper...AND I won't ask about...

That is one handsome outfit. Andy came in contact with a few of these during his trips to Tunisia and Morocco and I found their website a few months ago after we returned from Namibia, where we saw one as well. Bimobil make a first-class rig...

Have a great trip! Allen R.

Those anchors are nice. Just for convenience and weight, we carry several sand bags, empty in transit, then when we need anchors we (ummmm, here I think the more accurate pronoun is "I") fill them with sand or rocks. Cam straps hold them securely to the feet of the any awning support. The...

I had to search my photo albums to find this fellow, then scan it and try to get it onto this thread. Hope it works. We were on a day trip from Pta Bufeo, Baja California Norte, when we spotted this guy. We had stopped at the old oasis and were nosing about when this ram began to head-butt...

Maybe Ron ran outta' gas before he found the answer. Allen R

Good post, GR. Allen R.
