Post those beautiful faces, don’t be shy

Lovely photo of you and your wife and friends Cam. Does look a bit chilly hehe. Thanks for the back story and photo. You were riding hard off-road before I was born

Yeah thanks mate, I think, - now you make me feel even older! And I already have two sons for that!
Seriously though the Simpson trip is a great off road drive, takes about 4 days and 390 km, 1136 dunes must be crossed some up to 130 ft high. There are no fuel, water stops, or facilities, once you leave you are on your own until you reach Birdsville, that's why most people do it in a group. The track is an old oil exploration track pushed through in the mid 1960's, prior to that no one had ever driven across until 1962 I think. Here's my old Bronco leading the Jeeps! (There was a J20 ute right behind me, it got bogged on one dune and he wouldn't let me tow it out with the Bronco, - I wanted a photo of course!)

88% chinese, 10% Vietnamese and a random 2% French from way back

And I thought you were Latino with those sunglasses on with that picture you posted to begin with on this thread! I love the random 2% French, considering their history in Asia

Awesome brotha...I'm 100% Chinese...my wife's Heinz 57 with a lot of Yooper blood... ?

We're heading up to Helen, Georgia and North Carolina in early November for the fall colors. My wife, being a Filipina, wonders at what the reactions will be when we hit the areas where there are few, if any any Asians. We stopped in Tennessee and Boone, NC and didn't have more than a few glances probably because of the rarity of an almond-eyed girl in the area. I remind her of that and how wonderful those Southerners are. So she's OK with that.
It was the first time she got to see and play in snow 9did the sledding up there in Boone and, as I predicted, she would not need or want to ever see it again.
She's wanting to do one of the train rides. Perhaps you might know the best one from this link?

There's only two that will be running when we will be up that way; The Tuckasegee River Excursion and Steam Trains ONLY.

Or he's still out looking for the stash

Or perhaps he found it it and is looking for his way home?

It's mine I tell you mine, mine, mine! It's all mine! Sinister laugh........Hee heee heee heeeeeee

According to my wife, I have advanced degrees in both. When she calls me an asshole, I always say 'better an asshole than a whole ass'

There is a thin line between the two my brother. I trip over it at times myself. But, the wifey will jerk me back over the line quickly if it happens.

I’m sorry that the South has this reputation. We have Asian people and folks of all races around here and I don’t believe anyone thinks anything about it. Of course, there are ignoramouses (excuse spelling please) everywhere, but I think the majority of southern people just view others as fellow human beings and are not necessarily honed in on race.

Thank you for the great input Tracy.

Wow Cam. I really love stories like this. Gives you a grander picture of just how wild of a ride that was. 4 days with no fuel or stops, just so cool. I showed my gf this pic in amazement of how serene it is and the slight grainier look from older cameras. So dang dreamy of a scene. Thank you for sharing

 

[dondonbabyraptor]

Prost!!

Thanks Jim. German blood or just for fun having some beers? Beautiful photo of you and the lady. You drinking a Hefeweizen? One of my favorites, especially the darker variants.

Hah, I can definitely see the Latino look. Glasses and hat hide too much Lol, right the French and Asians do have some history

Enjoy your trip to see the fall colors. Please take pictures, it will be absolutely marvelous to see.

Try to find a picture of you and the Ranger, bet you it might be a little tough.

Amazing the way people can wander. Back on track, me and #4 (2019 Lariat and 1950 PGH).
