    Default A Fine Specimen!

    A few weeks back I was driving near the White Tank Mountians in Surprize Arizona. At one of the main intersections I saw this great Land Cruiser and gave pursuit for 5 miles!!

    They finally stopped to look at their map and gave me a chance to meet them.

    A very nice German couple who have been traveling across the US and are headed into Mexico and South America.

    It's a diesel Land Cruiser pickup with a 4wheel camper type set up on the back!

    Enjoy!!

    The only regrets in life are the risks you didn't take.

    That's dedication Brian. Nice shots!

    That's a different one than the one Brittan saw on the Mokee Dugway. They would both be welcome in my driveway!
