Drew is far right.
Is that just pictorially Dave, or politically as well? :? :)

Either way, thanks for keeping us posted on your latest adventure Drew :thumbright:
No. This guy here is the politically right guy. He is a slightly mad Czech ex pat called "Ed Ko" who is a VP film enthusiast that decided to up sticks and live in the area they made the film.

Check out his shirt.

This guy is so funny,a real poser he so excentric,he owns 15 cars ,has had a hole in the roof of his hous ..the same hole that was there back in 09,he has not changed anything,ROLAND IS CONVINCED HE CULTIVATES HIS ACCENT ,He has been in the States since the 80,s and I still have trouble understanding him................

He bought this bus for 2k and he uses veggie oil from Arbeys a fast food chain,so when we were followling him at 30 cents a gallon it is quite the economical driver if you will

,all we could smell is.....fried food..............lol check out this crazy czek

This place is in Moab called the arches these things are so big it is very difficult to even get a pic.....and yes some was getting married there too


And the last on is delicate arch made famous by the road atlas I have, A very long hike to the other side and we were running out of light and as it happened we drove in the dark for alot of the days due to our obsession with the desert

Same arch just about as close as we could get the rocks were very slippery due to the light showers.


Ok back to VP documentation,the second pic is a road they used for the jag chase,and we also with due diligence we made a huge discovery by accident.......we found the bridge washed out many years ago,but we used the land marks ,and horizon to figure this out but We had a dvd player so we could be dead on and this is the place,where the jag crashed in to the river :thumbright:


The clue is with the mountain in the back ground matches exactly with the one in the movie and if you remember Kowalski gets out and checks to see if the dude is ok and then he drives off we confirmed the match from the other direction and it also matches exactly
