    Are you sure you are from Beach Grove, IN? Your post reads like you are The Confederate General from Big Sur. Meaning I don't understand it.

    Simple! It's all about Ansel's southern wopper and the higher view points of his gravel stage.

    But now that I've put my dissertation aside and put some quality time into the OP, it seems like he has made a stage atop his car, accessible by ladder, much as Ansel did, and is now setting off from his gravelly southern abode to unknown climes in search of a "wopper" of a picture. In the meantime he invites us to post images taken from relatively high vantage points, such as the top of motor vehicles.

    Am I in the ballpark with this? Well, I tried.

    He put a platform on top of his vehicle's roof racks (that one usually uses to haul ladders around).

    PS Does the high vantage point have to be up on a vehicle?

    Steve, How's the gas mileage affected by the "stage"? Any sound or stability issues at highway speed? Can you sleep up there?

    Re: all the worlds a stage tour

    I wouldn't recommend sleeping up there at highway speeds.

    Hello Eric,,,

    The stage is made of wood and can easily be removed... Funny thing,, I found a great spot to use the thing , got it set up and it started raining.. I waited and waited and waited, the God's must not want me to take center stage... ur
    Anyway, it was a winding road I planned on shooting and only visable from the stage ,,not to mention I was on top of the Mississippi river levy..
