Favorite 4runner pics from 07

SOAZtim · 04-01-2008, 03:42 PM

I see Elvota is working on the Yotatech video.
I started looking through some of my pics and realized I can't pick just five from last years travels of my truck. Not that its an uber cool truck like some, but I like the pics because they remind me of something.
Which 5 are your favorite? (I know, putting way to much thought into this, but I'm curious which pics YOU like. I like some because of the memories asociated, but which ones are actually the "best" pictures for those who weren't there.

4,5,6,8,17,24 Gives a good overview of what you've been doing. (I know it's 6 pics not 5 but I wanted 19 in there too)

Holy cow... no wonder you are having a hard time deciding.

I may have to do a side project movie just about your rig.

8, 10, 11... those stick out to me. At least I think those are the ones. Maybe you can number 'em, it's hard for me to keep count. Of course, I find numbers slightly frightening.

Hey Tim is #9 from Mount Sneffels? Like so?

Me too, even though I'm a finance major. I just like money, hate accounting for it. Thats what Danica is for!

How about the ones I posted so far??? Add any, take any away? Is it okay to post some Scenery pics or am I already pushing it with posting 7.

BLKNBLU · 04-01-2008, 05:16 PM

I've got no quarrel with your choices. It's a fine assortment. Did you go to the top of Sneffels or just the basin. Watch out, this one still makes me dizzy even in pictures.

**Elvota** · 04-01-2008, 05:26 PM

I think the limit is supposed to be 5.... but you can add a few more. I am not exactly sure how the whole thing is going to come together... haven't made a movie like this before.

Just post up whatever you got and we'll see what I can use. You've got until 05.04... so you can post later if you come up with some more.

BLKNBLU... hope you post some as well. You've got some great scenery shots there as well as rig pics I have seen in the past.

WOW! We didn't hike it. Just to the base. A couple of guys were headed up it as we stopped by. I've been thinking about doing it since. How long did it take you?

I'll wait a bit and then post some scenery only shots. Use whatever 5 work in the video best or none at all. I'm easy!

Nice photo's don't know which ones to pick. How did you find the time to go to all those places.

I don't remember to be completely honest. I want to say 3 hrs or so, but we started much further down the road, back near a road junction and before the parking area with the restrooms. We did that to make sure we got 3000 feet of climbing which is sort of an official/unofficial rule of bagging 14ers.

I get less than 14 days off a year and as one would expect many get eaten up by christmas or family visits. So, I just made as many 3 day weekend trips where I just drove with dogged determination for hours on end and just kept moving moving moving. Seeing as much as we could in the least amount of time.

Baja and Colorado were 4 day weekends.

If anyone signs up for one of my trips they are in for a nonstop whirlwind tripgasm!

Thats not bad. We saw two guys getting up there at about 10 and then saw their truck putter by our camp site at about 4pm so that sounds about right.
It looks like an easy 14er. That sounds wrong, but you know what I mean. Easy, for a 14er. Not easy by any means!

No, not really easy. Redcloud and Handies were easier. We were supposed to do Wetterhorn on that trip too, but I was destroyed on that day, and it's supposed to be the hardest of that bunch. Sneffels had a big scree col to climb that just sucked and really took it out of you. Plus the scree was all above 13000 where I get a little sketchy anyways. This guy has a good write up, though he makes it sound a bit easy as well.

I'd like to go... but sounds like I am going to need some sort of protection. Your trips sound awfully fast and messy to me.
