~1993–1998

I had this when I lived in Pasadena. The rear soft top came off, making it semi-convertible, which I liked. I had the 109" Kung San at the same time.

More than a few small adventures: drove it down to Baja to the Matomi Wash checkpoint; up to Seattle and back for a computer convention; skiing in Utah; dry lake camping with Guinness and oysters, which is a better combination than it sounds. Took it with Kip to Rick’s wedding.

I sold it around when I got the Discovery. There are photos of Kip and me in it at the wedding, overdressed for the terrain, which is how I prefer to remember it.
