Well, it looks like I can post links to threads elsewhere on the web, I’m no spammer or scammer but I DO have photos already posted in various forums. I won’t overdo it, I’ll just post a couple of links for you small craft sailors and dirt bikers out there in cyberspace, lol. Let’s start with this link, it actually has some cool “truck camping” shots from my OTR days, when I used my assigned 10-ton road tractor as a private RV, burning company fuel as I went out of my way to explore wilderness areas, aye? There are cool photos on both pages of this old thread, it even has some climbing & vertical skateboarding shots, lol. And yes, those shots are of yours truly, unless otherwise specified… the skating shot must be 45 years old, maybe older! The direct aid climbing shot taken in Mission Gorge (San Diego) must be 40 years old if its a day! 😁
Random outdoor adventure shots…
Nice island shots in that thread, you won’t find island shots like those anywhere else on the web, not of Los Coronados! You’re supposed to have permission from the Mexican gubmint to land there, but the very first voyage I made, I took a big ol’ handle of rum out there and wound up partying with the NCOIC on Isla Sur (South Island), his name was Armando and he radiated naval & nautical experience, so we got along just fine, lol. All other voyages were “stealth voyages” where I avoided contact with other humans and simply hung out with the myriad creatures found on those islands! Awesome adventures, and heller stargazing at night! I’ll have to include a link to a blog I wrote on the first voyage to Isla Norte, but first, here’s a thread on riding the modified KLR in the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico! 😁
KLR Thread
And here’s the story of my first voyage to Isla Norte, which still stands as the greatest solo night of my life! You’ll know why if you read the story, lol… what a cool adventure THAT was! As in OTR trucking (Over-The-Road, aka long-haul trucking), I’m glad I went when I did (early-to-mid- ’90s), I’m not sure a skipper could pull such voyages now without getting into trouble & winding up in the Tijuana Jail, or worse! 😳
Isla Norte
Might as well include this link to the Kingston Trio tune, the soundtrack for any modern voyage to the islands! 😆
Tijuana Jail
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! What a classic old tune, I was only 3 years old when those guys sang it, lol… 🎸
