OC (Orange County) / OCC (out of control) Gobi Tripod

At letter and photo submission from Orange County, CA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Gobi McBaxgwain,

Check out the Tripod Gobi on wheels. There are so many elements that make this an outstanding photo and sighting. Didnt know lightning could strike twice in a month. This was a full flashback to my first Gobi experience in SD walking back to the hotel with you and Dustin after breakfast.

Like the first sighting it was Dustin and I still recovering from a night with the Froth. Blurry headed and sweating from the intense SC sun we were walking back to Dustins mom's house from the Ocean Fest at T-Street. We were about to cross the road when an unofficial guy stopped us and made way for the classic surf car parade. The Tripod Gobi was leading the way for the classic cars.

Hope this is Gobi worthy. Take a look and let me know what you think...

***Dustin was the first to spot the Tripod Gobi, I was just lucky enough to have my camera handy in the front row.

peace,
chain

This is Neo-Gobi folks. Awkward: The overall odd design and contour of the tripod vehicle screams Gobi, the human seating position is weird too. What if this guy was going 80 mph? He could not get in to a sport position, like crouch down or get aerodynamic. ANNDDD, the wipe out??? Feelin' it right? Back to the Gobi aesthetic - I am really liking how this machine reminds me of a swollen praying mantis. The skeletal rear wheel jutting out of the back, separated from the rest of the vehicle... All Gob'd out. Feelin' that. Thank you for the submission Chain. Look forward to more.
GM
