I can't remember where this was taken.

1971 on the tramp somewhere on the road between Prince George and Mackenzie in BC and here comes a dude walkin' the other direction...sat and had a smoke and discussed work prospects (it was summertime), he was headed to the Okanagan to pick fruit and I was lookin' for sawmill work...

 

then he reached into his pocket and produced a handful of pharma seconals and said help yerself and we said adieu...took 4, it was gettin' late and I found a place to crash in the brush overlookin' a lake by the road after a can of beans as the sun was goin' down...memorable, glad to be alive...

 

 

Just thought of a memorable one.

In Antarctica was driving a big Dodge Powerwagon with a full load of people in the back along a very rough road on the sea ice from McMurdo to Cape Evans in a white out. All I could see were the flags along the edge of the road. One of the guys in the cab said it was too rough on the road and we should drive off to the side where it was smoother. I declined.

Returning after the white out had lifted we passed by a very large seal hole on the side of the road that would have been invisible in the white out. The hole was certainly large enough to allow the vehicle, along with about 20 people, to plunge into the sea and sink to the bottom, where we all would have died. I don't recall any further suggestions from the passenger regarding driving off the road.

 

Also in Antarctica, loved riding on a dog sled, much as Amundsen had done in the heroic age. Sadly, all dogs were removed from Antarctica some years ago.

The other end of the spectrum..

Is that from the movie : DUNE ?

This one :

" Dune is a 1984 American epic science fiction adventure film written and directed by David Lynch and based on the 1965 Frank Herbert novel of the same name.  " from WiKipedia

Oops my mistake.

I meant to put that photo in the "why do you wear trousers" thread.

For a costume ball, can you dress up as a petrol pump?
