you got to make this into a movie, epic story, I have done some travelling, mountains, lakes, etc did around 500 k miles in 32 toners around Europe, in the 70's and saw some stuff but this is personal and has a storey, I am totally in awe, Rick

once in a lifetime storey.....or is it:lol

Thanks for sharing it :thumbs

So when are you off again....

I think Willow, for me it is a one off, with this problem I have now I cannot see me going anywhere soon, as I'm unable to walk or stand unaided never mind driving,hopefully the consultant's will diagnose my condition soon and there might be a recovery of sorts, fingers crossed eh.looking forward is on PAUSE, but hope to FAST FORWARD soon.

Not impressed with it but it did have a big petrol engine in it,to powerful for the weight.

Yeah, they are about in the UK as well but will probably have smaller European engines

Ugly but effective

I bet that goes well with the jet engine on the roof :lol

I just spotted that now,never noticed that before,millitary version of a Hummer based on the SWB terrano me thinks, with s roof mounted jet pack

This is Miles Canyon, where many stampeeder's drowned as the water was very fast here with the narrow gorge restricting the flow of the Yukon, the flow today is far less as the Yukon is dammed higher up.

I think this is furry Alaskan Haggis,Ryan might be able to enlighten me. or it could be a ground squirrel outside his burrow.
