Montana Creek Hunter...do you remember this day? The picture ID code is dated 7/5/2005. It was moving at turtle speed, so we tried to stay ahead of it but that changed and it just got too dangerous as visibility was zero, if only obviously. So we stayed put for the night. Straight up "The Mummy" kind of sandstorm it was.

Straight up "The Mummy" kind of sandstorm it was. I sure do. I had a Royal Enfield Bullet 500 I rode around Al Asad. My buddy and I were on the backside of the runways on the perimeter road. We hauled azz back. I think all my Al Asad pictures are at my dad's house still.

Good stuff Paul!
Nice work. Not as nice as your work on the other thread, but nice enough! DD, I need to borrow your "bird" pic please ! You mean this one? Or this?
I am..........disturbed.

I believe that storm had its 15 minutes of fame in Maxim magazine shortly thereafter. I wish I took more pictures in my time in the desert, but I was a bit preoccupied. I remember seeing native chukar and some desert sheep critters...maybe some sort of ibex, in the cliffy areas of Al Anbar. My M2 was pointed at them a few times....wish'n .

I didn't have a smart phone back then so I didn't take many pictures either. Saw some cool stuff. Did you see the "oasis" in Al Asad? I bought my Bullet 500 from the Stadium Haji's.

The Al Asad oasis you say? Luv me some thumper action... Indo...as in Indonesia? Haven't set foot in the country but have seen it from the sea and air. Sailed around it on the Bainbridge going from Thailand to Australia. We made some stops on some of the islands, but I can't remember where. My nephew's first deer.
