a few travel pics ...

[the image reaper]

I couldn't find my old 'travel' log, that I started last summer, so I'll put 'em here ... since most of my pics either had myself, or my RV, in the pic, I had to 'stealthify' :D the pics, sorry :wtf: ... I'm still on the road, and don't need unnecessary attention, ya see :D ... I didn't get all across the country, like I had planned (lack of money and health), but, it's Spring, I'm feeling a little better, and, it's time to burn more gas ;) ... here are some places I've stayed, these past few months ... you can see, being 'homeless', doesn't necessarily mean a great deal of suffering, on my part :) ... heading out again in a couple weeks, so will be taking more pics, for later posting ... no great pics here, but thought some city-dwellers might like them ... :jointsmile:

OHHHH NOOOO BLACK MASSSS!!!! LoL it's hard for some of the pictures to do justice with the big black rectangles all over :D BUt some look as if they could be postcards. Like the first one and the last two!

[the image reaper]

one day, in Nevada, I walked away from camp a bit, to take a desert photo, when I felt like I was being watched :wtf: ... looking around, I see this pronghorn antelope, maybe 50 feet away, just sitting and looking at me :stoned: ... I had the strange feeling, he was as medicated, as I was :D

thanks :thumbsup: ... yeah, I hated blacking them out, but I have a very identifiable RV rig, draws attention ... I come out of WalMart, etc., and find people standing around it, asking questions ... (everybody wants one) ... gets to be a drag, "can I see the inside ?" ... my response: "what would you say if I (a stranger), knocked on your door, wanting to look inside, ?" ... so, we cover it up with black squares, and require search warrants :S2:

Those two pictures of norcal make me want to jump in a car and not stop till I'm surrounded by redwoods.

yes, it is VERY beautiful here, but getting harder and harder to survive, financially ... State of Kalifornia is broke, and insists on squeezing the money out of the poor, and working folks ... Arnold seems to think we're all moviestars, I guess :wtf: ... but, I have nobody to support, but myself, so I get by pretty well :jointsmile:

I think the arch puts you in southern Utah or the Four Corners area. :thumbsup: Been there. If you are down that way, look up Hovenweep. Its a Pueblo/Anasazi ruin in that area. I have pics of it, but not on disk. Amazing what they did to survive and incorporate the natural setting into their building structures. :jointsmile:

The bridge in this shot looks like I-85 bridge over a segment of Yakima Canyon. I did some artifact snooping in that part of the canyon and got some nice artifacts!!! :D

[the image reaper]

the Wilson Arch is on state route 191, Utah, about 25 miles south of Moab, yup ... the bridge was in New Mexico, the 'something-Gorge' bridge, I forgot the name, pot-memory :wtf: ... thumbsup:

[KingKronic420]

glad to see you are doing well TIR.

nice pics too:thumbsup::jointsmile:

Hey ImageReaper,

Waste of webspace???? Are you kidding, this one picture of the Salton-Sea sun set would be worth paying for!

I did the RV homeless thing for a short period, allways had a good time. Except once while traveling into Arizona, everyone in an RV had to stop for an "agricultural inspection" (can't bring any fruit that might have bugs into AZ), when the officer asked me if I had any "fruit or guns or expolsives". My answer was, "I'm from NY, what do do you need?" I was there about 2 hours while they did a complete (they thought) search of my rig. Learned to be less funny after that.

BTW: I hope you realize, you are a perfect canidate to do a micro grow with LEDs in an RV.

[the image reaper]

yup, AZ has always been a pain in the ass ... I witnessed lots of police harassment and abuse, as a truckdriver ... the RV/LED situation, is why I have been watching from the sidelines, waiting for the smoke to clear :smokin:

some great photos reaper:thumbsup: i've only been to the states 3 times, first time was new york, haveing lived in london for many years didn't find anything there to really impress me and the last 2 times was to florida with the kids which we all loved, but looking at your road trip in this thread and your previous thread makes me want to visit again and do a fishing road trip, some beautifull places. stay safe mate and enjoy:thumbsup:

[Greenthing]

Real nice photos IR,it must be great to wake up and see places like that from your window.
I have a small van and i do go wild camping in the UK, i reckon i am a bit too old for full timing, so i do envy your life style.
Respect to you man:hippy::thumbsup:

[the image reaper]

thanks :D ... I find I'm a little too old for fulltiming, too :D, but we keep on, keepin' on ;)

[the image reaper]

more pics from the last trip ... will be hitting the road again, very soon, and taking some new pics ... yeah, that windshield was the victim of Colorado bugs :wtf: .... :D

[fluid69]

those are some sweet pics reaper. :P

[MadSativa]

, yup ... the bridge was in New Mexico, the 'something-Gorge' bridge, I forgot the name, pot-memory :wtf: ... thumbsup:

The Rio Grande Gorge Bride. Its the bridge in the new terminator movie, the gorge as well. It was also in transformers, and many other movies. I know people who have jumped off of that bridge, with parachutes. It is highly illegal, and dangerous. I also know people who have flew under it and around that gorge area it is a tripy bridge to be on during a windy day, very cool place.

very cool pics too, the Utah ones I like, been their a couple times.

[Greenthing]

Awsome IR wish i had enough $ to hire a RV or even a small motohome to tour the USA, you are so lucky man.:thumbsup:
:hippy:

[the image reaper]

oh man, I'm glad you identified it, that has been bugging me for months ... I forgot the name, and couldn't find it on my maps ... Rio Grand Gorge :thumbsup: ... now, I can sleep well :D ...

[MadSativa]

haha no problem I do the same thing sometimes, it bugs me when I forget things like that. Still though I remember things better than most who don't smoke herb, funnny thing the human mind. Cool Pics, next time your in NM check out Carlsbad Caverns, very impressive, I think its one of the 8 wonders of the world. The stories that hover around the people that work their are insane and hard to believe but they have history of being somewhat true.

The stories of the reptilian people is the one that really gets me, sightings occurred back in the 1800's and also some what recently, also the stories of hidden glass tunnels in the cavern system themselves, gets me.

I wounder when Atlantis will be one the 8 wonders of the world list, if not soon we will lose it again, That is so modern-age, find the lost city, just to lose it again for another 10,000 years.

[the image reaper]

I'm so old, I used to rent an apartment in Atlantis ! ... they kept upping the rent, so I bailed :D

[the image reaper]

how time flies, I was so comfortable at my new campsite, I didn't realize how soon I'm leaving ! ... packing the rig, for Roadtrip 2009 ... should be about 5,000 more miles added to the clock, before I get back (leaving, just in time for the raising gas prices, as usual) ... :jointsmile:

[phatsesh101]

hey ive got the same hood

[the image reaper]

yup, they're pretty popular ... this is my new 1000-watt hood setup, it's a few inches wider, than my previous ones, should spread my light better :thumbsup:

[the image reaper]

one more wake-up, and I'm heading out :thumbsup: ... drink my coffee, drain my tanks, and then, roll :D ... will only go a couple hundred miles the first day, will stop and soak in the hotsprings, if sun is out ... gotta do the final touch-up on my 'California all-over golden tan', before I get to Middle America ... drives 'em nuts :D ...

[phatsesh101]

have fun take plenty of smoke

[the image reaper]

actually, traveling extremely 'light', this trip ... stash is gone, likely won't be replacing it until Fall harvest ... I should clean out for awhile, anyway ... but, in pretty serious pain lately, won't be an easy summer for me ... onward, thru the fog :D

[Galaxy]

Have a great trip IR :)

IR, very nice pics... the NorCal pics make me homesick, TYVM ;)
Come south and I can help with some meds, and if you like it, a few beans too.

[the image reaper]

thanks, all :thumbsup: ... Steve, I read where your Manteca bro, is growing out the Girl :D ... far out ! ... not many, out west, have heard of her, yet ... I'm gonna poke along, this trip, try to take more pics ... into the wind ... :D

[the image reaper]

first morning of 'RoadTrip 2009' ... always begins with the 'morning whizz' ... yup, that's the gray-haired old grouch, himself ! ... nothing like 'peeing in the yard', you girls should try it, liberating ! :D

Kinda reminds me of the days herding sheep. Except on the really nasty days when I'd just open the door and let 'er fly!!!!!!! :jointsmile: And no, I didn't partake if you catch my drift!!!! :D

[the image reaper]

I haven't taken many photos the last couple days, the weather has been overcast, drizzling rain, and pretty windy ... but, here's some snapshots, from the roadside, in Nevada and Utah ... enjoy :jointsmile:

[the image reaper]

here's a couple more new pics ... dropping off Monarch Pass, in Colorado, and a pretty cool restaurant sign, also in Colorado ... I don't know what it's made of, but, it sure would look bitchin', in the growroom :D

[the image reaper]

well, I made it to my midwest destination, with no problems ... spent the weekend on a friend's houseboat, and then camped next to the creek, on their farm ... will hang out near here, a couple months, then head towards the northwest, on the way back to California ... :smokin:

[Dutch Pimp]

jesus!...those are some ugly legs....:glugglug:

[Greenthing]

I don't agree with Dutch he has no taste in legs, your legs look good for your age.:eek:
Nice to see you are doing well, you are one lucky man Mr Reaper.:thumbsup::hippy::stoned:

[the image reaper]

jesus!...those are some ugly legs....:glugglug:

thank you, greenthing :thumbsup: ... Dutch Pimp !, :( man, you don't realize, one of those knees is highly polished stainless steel ... buffed to a shining glare, and used as a reflector, to reach under my fan leaves ;) ... and, the screws in my shoulder, can be used to hang the heavier branches up :thumbsup: ... my body serves many purposes, besides female stimulation ! (and, hasn't been used for that, for too damned long) ... :D

[Dutch Pimp]

IR...the six millon dollar man....:thumbsup:...(aka...COL Steve Austin)
