Going through my grandparents
and parents old issues of "National Geographic"
as a child in the 1950s, I became fascinated with
dinosaurs. As if it were just yesterday, I remember
reading about Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews' famous
Asian expeditions to the Gobi Desert, beginning
in 1922, to search for fossil remains of dinosaurs.
His successes are well documented in many of the
magazines.
But I also noticed that the caravan of trucks
which were frequently photographed were always
Dodges. He praised them for their reliability
and said he would use nothing else. I imagined
myself becoming an archeologist and joining that
caravan of Dodge trucks across the desert. Fifteen
years later I found myself crossing the desert
in Libya as a geologist exploring for oil in,
yes, a caravan of Dodge Power Wagons. Sometimes
you get what you wish for.
