My good friend Jim West was a member of the 1992 U.S. Camel Trophy team, for which he and his team mate, Dan Amon, won the Team Spirit Award—if anything more coveted than the Camel Trophy itself. Knowing Jim for the last decade I could have predicted it would be a foregone conclusion for him to snag that honor.
Jim went on to do much work with Land Rover, and to be a member of the Overland Expo training team for many years. Now a retired firefighter, he has started to do private training and consulting, and is writing a blog that will surely be a font of solid information—that is, if Jim can stand to sit in front of a computer for that long. Normally he’s red-shifting in various directions to burn off what appears to be a small internal nuclear reactor’s worth of fuel.
