Greeks now a thing or two about ferries.

The turkish kid in the getup is about to be circumcised, that's why you see the hoolihans laughing in the background (Istambul).

pportmd · 06-23-08, 08:55 PM

The Bazaar in Istambul is quite amazing. It goesn on and on for blocks and the vendors will sell ice to an Eskimo, "Let me help you spend your money" or "I won't cheat you as much as that other guy if you buy from me"

Turkey is know for its rugs. This store we were taken to was amazing. After the guy gave us a 30 min spill on how to tell a hand-made carpet from one made by machine, or a high quality one from a fake, he sold one to my wife for mucho $$$, coño!

Here I am pondering how many more years I will have to work before my retirement on account of thisw trip.

Mykonos, where we stumbled upon a gay, nudist beach (no photos) and a proud, three-legged German prancing around

I saw this thread in the TTORA forum this morning. A really great write up and read. I was already talking to the wife about a trip back to Colorado and seeing this thread was adding fuel to the fire.

Discovering the Rockies...again. A four wheeled ride report. - Dual Sport Riders of Louisiana Forums

beyondlogic · 08-07-08, 09:21 AM

that would be awesome to do, alone with wife or with a couple of other couples from the club.

Sure would be. We spent our Honeymoon in the Colorado Springs area and then headed North on I25 to Cheyenne, WY. So much to see and do its a really great area. I spent alot of time working out that way and really enjoyed it.

Had a wedding in Knoxville this past weekend so me and the wife decided to take a small vacay around the wedding and do some mild wheeling. We stayed in a cabin just outside of Murphy and about 15 miles from the ORV park.

Nice little stream behind it with huge ass fish:

Tellico ORV. Rocks are different for this newb

Bathed in some falls in my drawers

Whitewater rafted--no pics

Danced with the bride--notice the UT boas. She married a huge LSU fan who they tormented all night orange.

Cool trip and the cruiser ran like a dream and performed excellent on rocks. Very impressed with its (stock) capabilities--just pissed the wife wouldn't get out and take more pics from tellico to show you guys.

sparkplug · 08-19-08, 06:15 PM

Nice pics. What kind of fish was that?

good pics.

beyondlogic · 08-20-08, 07:51 AM

thanks!! im going to delete them in a couple of hours since they are so big. to keep the thread size down.

Its fine to leave them just resize them smaller 800x600 or something like that so they fit. LL

sparkplug · 09-11-08, 11:46 AM

Bushmaster on the property the other day. Largest venomous snake in the Americas. Very, very aggressive. At night you have to hold your flashlight away from you and at the very back(no headlamps) because they will come at you and strike repeatedly at your flashlight(heat source).

Just trying to add some life in here. Clubhouse corner is a little slow today.

cajun65 · 09-11-08, 01:04 PM

No pics, and not that really far away...but if y'all are ever up here for a few days, Barksdale Air Force Base has the 8th Air Force museum. Really cool. I had Cameron with me for a few days last week and we hit that and Bass Pro Shops. A little boy's dream trip.

SpillmanCruiser · 09-15-08, 04:47 PM

Went to the lake to rent a houseboat for a few days for a bachelor party. Did some diving, some cooking and some drinking. This is a beautiful place this time of year. Hurricane Ike passed just west of us on Saturday night--these friggin hurricanes keep following me around and I'm starting to get pissed. We rode it out on the lake and nearly sunk our flatboat. It was rowdy to say the least and the lines were singing. Will post pics soon.
