damn nice pics. where those polaroids or slides? or maybe an old box camera. that old pic of you guys is just messed up. who is the black dude? Tito Jackson? were you on tour or something.

Don't make me call Verizon and have your DSL cut off again.

Is that a picture of a Freelander recovering a Forward Control? Did you PhotoShop that?

 

[garrett]

hell no that is the real deal. those were the early years of the prized vehicle. actually i think that was 'manufacturers vehicle' if i am not mistaken. that was around early 2002. i am not sure when those cars came out. but i think it was before the official release.
and yes that is our friends 101 that he drove down from Robesonia, PA. sometimes he will tow it behind his RV, but i think that year he drove it.

i can't photoshop that good, so here is another pics just for good measure. not sure what was up with it, but it would not go more than 50 yards and not get stuck. that is when the love for the car began.

You're right that is messed up! That was my friend Larry who worked with me. One pay period we worked so much overtime we went out and bought motorcycles. We went to cruise the Blue Ridge Parkway and met John up there.

Tell them of the evils of sand and salt water on a vehicle.

Everyone knows that salt, sand and ocean air on an old steel Jeep sucks. Never had a spot of rust until the over sand trips started and I would spend hours cleaning my Heep.

I was checked several times... along with every other vehicle on the beach.

 

[garrett]

I can only imagine your scary pics from the 80's.

While looking for the Assateague pics last night I found some even scarier pics from the 70's!!!

The deer that wanted the scout's breakfast.

These are Sitka deer. Native to Alaska and British Columbia, they are more closely related to mule deer and elk than they are to the common whitetail deer. They get even *smaller* on some of the smaller barrier islands.

 

[garrett]

assuming Sitka, AK was named after them. interesting.

Actually they are Sika Deer and are related to red deer and elk. They were imported from Japan.

The Sitka deer is a black-tailed deer from Alaska as you mentioned.

Yep, Sitka AK was named after the blacked tailed variety.
