I have been fighting with photo bucket for hours and hours and hours. I still have not got to the cruiser pics up yet. But, what I do have is some pics of my property and some plane photos of the area as well.
I arrived in Costa and rented a Prado Land Cruiser (if that is what you want to call it). It was pretty lame. Pics of it will come later.:shotts: It was very under powered for a 2006 Land Cruiser. I drove 10 hours across the Talasmaca Mountain range(the largest in Costa-15000 feet) finally I arrived in Golfito, my town. My mechanic was lined up to install a lift kit and a locker. He told me maņana(tomorrow). I was not able to stay and look over the work. So I went up the mountain in 4xhoofs (horse) instead. This was going to be the first night I slept on my property in over a year! I have heard from everyone on the planet that the southern pacific zone of Costa Rica is infested with poisonous snakes. The thought of riding down the mountain (bit by a snake) on horse was not my idea of a good time. The first night we set up camp under my tiki hut with tents to keep out the snakes. In the morning I hiked down some valleys on the property and found 1 waterfall, 6 different creeks, and two natural springs. It started to rain every day around 4 pm. So I wasn't able to explore the entire 475 acers. I did see 3 types of monkeys: White Faced, Squirrel, and spider monkeys. Also small ant-eaters and several different kinds of parrots (including scarlet macaws), I had never seen these before and 2 types of toucans. Lots of other stuff that I cant identify as well. I returned to Golfito and my Mechanic had put on the springs back wards. It was not worthy of trying to conquer the mountain in the state it was in. I bailed on wheeling to the top of the mountain and decided to try again early next year
. I will post more pics tomorrow.
You can go to this link to see some pics. Sorry no cruiser pics yet.:shotts:
