My old man and the cruiser.
This is where we found out the aternator was dead. No alternator on winch!
This is where she sits for months at a time. Don't worry it is over 100 yards to the beach. No corrision here.

Thank you. Anyone from the club is welcome on the property if I am there or not. Next trip I am bringing a gas powered water pump to pump water from the natural spring that cascades into a 1500 foot waterfall right next to my rancho(house). Also bringing a solar panel, lights, wiring, and propane refrigerator. If you want to check out where I got my idea from you can go to this website. All of this stuff is pretty cheap and very cool.

I have some video and my dad took some too. I had to leave one of my bags behind and my video is in that bag. I will ask my dad to send me his stuff. Some cool night walks and video of the cruiser. The inside video wouldn't come out that good. I tend to drive pretty fast, but next time I will slow down and strap one down but not on my dash because Costa Rican cruisers never had dash pads or roll bars. No DOT down there. I can dig some old video of my 60 in different country's and jungle off-road stuff too. Oh I almost forgot, I talked to my buddy in Alaska and he found some pics of our Arctic Circle trip in his old SR5. That was a cool truck, it would go through just about anything. He misses not having it and of course kicks himself for selling it.

Would love to see the videos and the pics of the Artic Circle trip. :)
 
A Talamacan poison dart frog.
I forget the name of this lizard but he plays possum. He just fell off a branch and didn't move.

Ok... I'll ask... why is one pant leg longer than the other here bro???! lol....


Awesome pix.

Keep em comin

Answer A. Because the flames were a lot higher 10 seconds prior and I had taken off one of my zipped leg deals and decided to save the camp before removing the other one.

Answer B. I am starting a jungle gang and that is how I ride.:flipoff2:
 
Oh one more thing for those that are so observant. The ricks T-shirt is an old fishing tournament I participated in a few years back, for work. I never wear it in the states because that is not how I ride. I have never been there, um I think.
 
WOW, I was finally able to view all the pictures in your post. Now that I'm able to see the pictures I can see why you were so passionate with the words you wrote earlier about the area. The pictures are truly breath taking.It is really nice being able to do that with your dad.The time I spent with mine sharing my passion (sickness of Toyota) and riding with him is some memories I'm greatfull for.

If the club does not have anything planned for a out of state run anytime soon maybe we could make an extended trail ride to your property and help with you castle ? :)
