Needs a little TLC
lol, thats "beach front property", w/ a view ovelooking the ocean. those guys look like they fit right in, i know just the type. i used to rent part of a field to store old ag equip from a guy who had that (x10), and it wasnt no beach. extension cords running everywhere from campers, broken cars, pot gardens,beer/soda cans all over the ground, etc. the place was quiet every morning, as noone woke before noon over there. when the **** finally hit the fan, and several agencies arrived simotamously, the oldest kid ran and hid from child protective services. one of the last agencies to leave was the dog pound. they were out there confiscating the pitbulls, and the oldest kid came out of hiding, cuz he was cold, so the dog pound took the kid w/ the dogs
It's actually down in Mexico along the Sea of Cortez, the guy in the black shirt is a local fishing guide @ $300/day and stays in the 5th wheel next door to this abandoned MH. Many locals put an old RV or some type of structure on the beach to hold claim to property. This one got undermined by high tides as they failed to build a sea wall around the lot. The fishing here is pretty good.
yeah, there doing that where i live, as the bums now own the sides of the freeways. i think of it as kind like a reenactment of the "homestead act". Anyway, thanks for setting the story straight about the "waterfront beach house", it don't sound as bad as i thought. looks like u at least got some fish, and having a good time. 300 bucks for a day probabaly pretty good for them, and pretty good for a fun filled day for a family too. in late 70's, i went to hawaii, we chartered a boat for 175 for the day. we thought it was expensive then. we trolled and i caught the only fish, it was a 42 lb "ono". i think it was taller than myself at the time, it was the best tasting fish i ever hadQuote:

Just another on the long list of projects that didn't happen because I haven't got time for the ones I'm trying to complete...
Today’s world that will not get moved and only more motor homes will come. Attachment 1727120yes that’s a Lincoln Navigator and it’s the bums, not people helping them. Took the pic myself.Quote:

I know a guy that bought a late 90's Ford motorhome that had a serious kitchen fire that totaled it, low miles on a 7.3 powerstroke and a heavy duty E450 chassis. He stripped the "house" body and installed a 14' service body after capping off the cab section. Near as I know the DOT has not caught on to the RV registration.Quote:
