Thank you for the compliment. That place was huge and lots of fun.

 

Thanks to Jason and Wes for taking me and my family out there, we all had fun.

 

Can't wait to do it again! You were a trooper for being your first time out. Still can't believe you hit that hill going so fast. We all thought you were going to hit that Palm tree. And to have your wife and son in the back cheering you on as you go is awesome!

 

I think I got my new sig pic today thanks to Leandra. One of my all time favorite pictures of my truck.

 

Here are two more pics of today's adventure.

 

And one of my truck.

 

I can't wait it to do it again.
I thought when you said to go fast to make the hill, I figured I would gun it from the puddle, besides with my wife and son saying go faster, I had to gun it.

 

Where is this place at?

 

Palm Bay

Larry Burrows' Vietnam Photos Still Haunt Us 47 Years Later






World News


In October of 1966, the Vietnam War had already been raging for nearly 11 years. Thousands of troops were still fighting, and in their midst a courageous photographer risked and ultimately lost his life documenting the horrors of one of the longest wars in U.S. history. As LIFE magazine wrote of Larry Burrows in a 1971 issue:

He had been through so much, always coming out magically unscathed, that a myth of invulnerability grew up about him. Friends came to believe he was protected by some invisible armor. But I don’t think he believed that himself. Whenever he went in harm’s way he knew, precisely, what the dangers were and how vulnerable he was.​

Burrows had died that same year when his helicopter was shot down over Laos, together with three other photographers. Their tragic deaths are a harrowing reminder of the acute danger war correspondents face in doing their jobs, and of the endless dangers that armed forces and civilians face in the midst of violence.
For those left at home, there is little that conveys the horrors of war as thoroughly as photographs such as Burrows'.
