Sammies!!   :thumbsup:

Lots of good memories of a couple Sammies in the Mesa 4-Wheelers. :thumbs:

They were always THE most exciting vehicles to watch on the trails because they are so tippy. :yikes:

The two owners had modified their Sami with lots of Toyota parts.

They were very capable rock crawlers and with the short wheelbase and narrow bodies they could get through some very tight spots.  :beerchug:

Here’s one that was a tricked-out little beast:

Rock crawling a Sami would produce a little TOO much pucker-factor and adrenaline for me.  :gap:

Trip is set
Charter fishing the 19th for spring chinook with Carson and friends
Then on the road first thing in the morning to 29 palms desert to pick her up and bring her home.
Dave if your anywhere along the way down or back up and want to meet an old friend for a meal I’m buying.

Wow... sounds like a nice trip. :gap:

Salmon are very curious and are attracted to a trolling fishing boat.   :thumbs:

HOT TIP: To increase your chances of catching a fish or two, keep your bait and line as close to the back of the boat as they allow.

I miss the smell of the ocean. :sad2:

It's good to see you are alive and well.  Have fun. :beerchug:
