I am curious as well because it kinda looks like a Defender 110 or a Mercedes G-Wagon, but the headlights are wrong for both.

When I get stuck....It is fun.
When these guys get stuck...It must make the hair on the back of their necks stand for hours, as if it isn't already up.
Pray for these guys.

That place is amazingly beautiful and ugly. Huge contrasts in the way it looks, the pictures dont do it justice.
With that being said, hope I never have to go back!
As stated before, pray for those guys. They need it.

I had the same thought. Suck in a hostile place and not able to escape.
