Gday Guys. The tracks along that section of coast were the only way in and out to the ocean for many years. The Indian Ocean hwy only opened in 2010 and before that you had to come from inland or take the old tracks in and out. There were many small fishing and cray fishing (lobster) villages set up along that area.

I was on 15 minutes after you uploaded, but I had not received a notification yet. I think I fixed that now. In any case, that white sand and the beaches are amazing. Can you imagine if you were shipwrecked there in the 17th century? You would be seriously in big trouble. Maybe they could have trekked down the coast to Perth. I do not know. Anyway, Australia looks amazing so far and Albo looks great too. Maybe aviator/motorcycle goggles would keep the flies out of your eyes. Just a thought.

@@NextMeridianExpedition I had good ones and not so good ones. I was an art and photography teacher. Some kids made my life hell and I couldn't do anything about it. The last ten years I was working for my pension, which I got. It was no way to live though. I would have rather been out taking pictures, however I found that unless you are fmous, they don't sell. You are doing life the right way. Just set aside money for when you are old. All I had to do was work for 20 years at my last job and the money and health insurance would be there. I estimate, I have collected $600K so far, besides my government Social Security. That's why I put up with certain students. You should probably set aside at least $20K a year. Put it into a safe retirement fund. At your age, I was struggling and couldn't set aside a penny. It is expensive to live in the USA. Our website is RussMartinandMarciaMartin.com. By the way, in 2008 I won the entire nature division of the Prix de la Photographie Paris (PX3). for my Hosta pictures. Hosta Flowers and Oak Leaves was hung there in the vernissage.

i learned a secret about zipper on everything to continue to make them work at there best, VASOLINE place a pinch between your first finger and thumb and spread it on both sides of the zipper , it makes the zipper from tugging and sticking or hard to open, once you do that close the zipper and top the zipper threads with an extra coating if needed. dont spray with silicone or wd-40 coating because this destorys the threads that holds the zipper to the canvas. love your trips p.s. i was wondering power on the solar panels each? it looks like you could use on more on the top in front of those 2? i see there flat panels watts ? take in of how many amps per hour?on my trailer i have 4 -1000 watt units but it a 35' 5th wheel trailer, .appox. 22.35 amp per panels in a 2- 6 pack of 6 volt batteries . reason is the 6 volt paired up to make 12 volts in total 6 -12 volt batteries each battery amps are 200 amp per batteries, can drain down to 1 volt and recover better then 12 volt, see the 12 volt batteries if they drain pass 10.8 volt the batteries are toast, or no good?

Thank you for the tip! We have two panels of 120w each on the roof plus the plug and play in addition. We don’t really need more. They are super flat super good quality.

@@NextMeridianExpedition I don't like lithium batteries 1 the cost and 2 there only ok to me. My batteries the 6 volts pair to make 12volt are acid batteries water and acid the old fashion style. 120 volt flat panels receive approx 7.6 amps per panel or 15.2 amps in direct sunlight.paired. o mine we installed a piece of flat stainless steel under the panels to draw in hot under the panels . Without the s/s panels under the solar panels the panels cool to quick with them after the sun goes down the solar panels stay hot to continue making power till cooled off. Much like the solar panels on top of asphalt shingles on to of your roof of the house. You may want to purchase a barrel generator, I have one that run when you sleeping it s blowing the wind at night keeping the battery fully charged up. I have a 800 watt unit cost 300.00 it makes 17 amps per hour extra in 10 mph wind . Max ed out 25 amps you can get it smaller to starting at 100 watts. Or 5.65 amp per hour.

I had to stop the video to look up Pinnacles desert. I am curious how it formed. The sand tracks are so pretty to drive. So the farm planting season is going into winter? Is it because summer is too hot? Can I suggest that you put comments in a contrasting color to the background and leave them a bit longer? Im having trouble reading them and I really want to.
