VW Gol! You're not down there taking Anita over the washed out, pot-holed, rock strewn, winding dirt mountain roads on an old Harley ElectaGlide? ;-P >taking time out to dig out >some idiot that isn't bright enough not to park on loose sand :) I remeber camping one side of a creek a dirt road went through in Baja a week after the Baja 1000 went through and made it pretty deep. I had a '79 Toyota pickup with a cabover camper, and the water was just a bit too deep for me to attempt. An hour after I got there, a drunk guy in a huge 4x4 coming from the other side got stuck in it. 20 minutes later his drunker buddy got HIS 'monster truck' stuck next to it coming to the rescue. In the course of a bunch of people and another 4x4 pulling them out from my side, a guy in a 1973 VW bus arrived on the way through, and charged into the stream... gleefully floating across before anyone had any idea where he went! >...reading >the Gutenberg collection (well, bits of it) on the lib... taking lots of >b/w pics on the 5*4 camera Can't wait to see some of those Neil! >and developing the results in bathrooms...
