I agree the XR 600 with a back pack does not hold enough any more.

Hey Ken, each one of those red containers on top of your Hummer must be worth about $40 full/each these days, huh?
Great shot.

Camping out of a Subaru in the 80's

Last September, our simple camp on Shell island...

Roughing it for the '05 Baja 500


We roughed it last year by taking the 'hide a ton' sleeper sofa for an arm chair, front room type view of the race course.

Because we were at a spot where we watched the race go by in both directions, the evening atmosphere was just as important as the day time roughing it comforts.
