Near Death in Ibri

By Baxter Jackson | Location: Oman | 11/14/08 | Pics: 0

Last Saturday, in the desert hinterlands of Northern Oman, in its provincial capital of Ibri, it rained. It rained! I could NOT fucking believe it. I was so overjoyed I went out in my Jeep to go celebrate with some 4 x 4 action.

As it turns out...
