Hey Capn, The 172 appears to be Steve's, another French Valley flier. He has some great shots of that plane on beaches next to shipwrecks and other stuff that would be cool here. Never asked if reads this thing or not. bg

I had a great time. I can't wait until next year. I met some really great people and had a blast with everyone. Too bad, my Tire Carrier is bent, twisted & tweaked. I'm getting it replaced real soon, so I won't have to worry about the Hi-Lift and spare 33" tire falling off the Jeep in traffic. :!:

David, your comment reminds me of the exact same thing that happend to Mike Humpreville on Shell Island a few years ago. Remember the stuff that you shook out of his air filter then? Wow.... Then, he restarted and his truck ran great! What great memories.

Exactly! What did Mike and Mary Ann call that white Suburban, 'La Ballena Blanca'?




On Shell Island L to R : Georock's Hummer, Humfreville's Suburban, Mexray's Bronco, Surfer Jim's Chevy truck...

Yah, Mike was special ... We were lucky to have spent many times with him!

Here is a favorite photo I took at Las Flores, July 4, 2001 on the return from our first Lost Mission Search:
