Nice photos!
The only time I was at the Great wall was 2008, wandered past some of the signs indicating I should stop, problem was that's where it got interesting... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558024381.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558024381.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558024381.jpg Only a little bit of the wall broke off, none of the blocks were numbered so it was tough to figure out where it went back in... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558024381.jpg Overgrown wall http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558024381.jpg |
The Triumph project continues, my Son and I had her all together with a 750 cc (ran when removed) motor.
It seized with only about 1/2 an hour of running... yes, it had oil in it. Rather than a complete rebuild (at this time) I found a 650 cc motor with a fresh rebuild for a price I couldn't say no to. Hope we get more than 30 minutes out of this one! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558025120.JPG This one was born in 1966 according to the serial # http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558025120.JPG |
My daughter studied in China compliments of the US Navy and Uncle Sam. I really enjoyed visiting with her there over Thanksgiving 2015 - except I really prefer turkey rather than duck:

Our first full day in Beijing we went to the Wall. While it was crisp and clear out, the air quality (per the US Embassy) index was 150 - anything over 100 is unhealthy.
This was from our second day - the index read 300. You had trouble seeing the top of a ten story apartment building. By the time we left it had hit 500, and the day after it hit nearly 600. Very sad truth about that part of the world... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558041014.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558041014.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558041014.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558041014.JPG Since we were not Chinese citizens we were permitted to attend Mass at a Roman Catholic church on Sunday. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558041014.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558041014.JPG At 6', standing a head above the average tourist heading into the Forbidden City http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1558041014.JPG This happened to us - a lot!
