If you noticed, the video showed the trucks on open dunes, river crossings, and other open terrain. I wonder how they would go in the very narrow Baja
roads that are hardly wide enough for my truck or on some of the roads in Death Valley where I spent the last 5 days? |
Wonder how it would do on the road to Mission Santa Maria.... |
You would be surprised at what can get to Santa Maria!

David,
Getting down the Santa Maria Widowmaker is easy....getting back out is the challenge 
While I covet Unimogs, I appreciate that they are just one of God's ways of saying "You have too much money!"

The result being that these rigs are such a blatant display of wealth the travelers are never able to relate to the locals on the same level. They
would have been better to stay home and watch the National Geographic channel. |
i suppose to truly relate to the locals you should give up all your possessions and wander naked thru mexico like india's holy men, eh???????
seems to me that most people on vacation are just interested in booze and sex and fishing and surfing, and don't visit for "relations."
just saying,... |
Gringos, yes, I stand corrected. Many gringos go overboard with displays of wealth. Most of the people I know actually travel to foreign countries to
get a taste of the culture. Most of my opinions above about "displays of wealth" and buying bigger than what is needed are formulated from my travels
through Africa. Some travelers were over equipped with Man and Unimogs, many broken and unfixable. Others were woefully under equipt.
From Baja to the Sahara to the Arctic and all places in between.

Not only did Art easily drive his beast back up the Widowmaker, but he did it pulling Neal Johns' broken Toyota!
