Simplier Times

Caught this fellow driving while heading to one of the many beaches in Costa Rica. The roads were built for this type of transport (dirt and huge potholes everyhwere). I was amazed the wheels did not fall off.

I haven't seen that type of transportation for years. I wonder how many horsepower that would equate to. You are right Dave, simpler times. Bob

Nice capture.....We really don't realize how spoiled we are, do we? Simpler=Better? sometimes I think so, but I would miss my Microwave a lot!

Thanks Bob to be truthful this is first time I have seen it 'in the wild' so to speak.
