Recently, Bob took a trip to Tiran Island, off the coast of Sharm el Sheikh in the Red Sea. He was checking out the location as a site for a microwave tower for the MFO. You're lookin' good, Honey! Like a movie star in an action film!
A shot of the island from the helicopter.
The place is truly a "desert island." I doubt even Robinson Crusoe could survive here for long! There is an MFO contingent of U.S. Army troops who actually stay on the island for a few weeks at a time. ALL their supplies, including water, have to be airlifted in twice a week! You can't dock a boat at the island and walk up the mountain, because the beach area still has a lot of mines buried that are left over from the Israeli-Egyptian war.
I think I'll stick with the normal tourist sites and Bob's place at North Camp on my visits, though riding in a Blackhawk would be fun!
