great pics Brian .. if you have any good ones of me going thru the mud .. id like them .

and schedule a trip and ill see if i can go .. i should be able to do a day trip with out a problem... i need a week or so to get my radiator fixed though .
as far as another overnighter i think sept would be better for me .

Mak you would have loved it out there man .. might have come back with a couple more scratches .. but you would have liked it ..

ohh except for the mosquitos at camp .. there were millions man ..

not with these man .. i think everybody put spray on and it didnt do any good .. but you know what i didnt turn my lantern on .. maybe that would have helped a little.

turning it on and putting it away a bit.

I have the video on the internet but the place it's on doesn't stream and youtube keeps dying before the video finishes. So if you feel like downloading the epicly large video that isn't super super exciting than go right ahead here...

It's like 1.5GB though so unless you are on a decent broadband connection I don't recommend it. Still working on a youtube one that has smaller versions.

Photos again are here incase you missed it in the flood of other photo posts...

I think your giving yourself too much credit. Driving Miss Daisy was fast and furious compared to you.

I got up the youtube versions finally. Thing kept screwing up on the upload for me.

Yeah I like it quite a bit. Nice to have it in your pocket whenever you need it too.

I think the biggest problem was I was so used to Keith I figured u had about 20 minutes to setup before you'd take off.

well i was dicking off with window movie maker as my bro got news he has to work today. So him and i dont have time to get together and put the vid together. I did a sample vid and i was disappointed with it. the vid format was changed to WMV. and the quality sucked. I dont want a degraded image when i know i can record better then that.

dont worry man it will be worth it when done. I know you are all excited to see the vids. I want it to be as enjoyable to watch as possible

HANG IN THERE, THE VID. TOTAL LENGHT WILL BE CLOSE TO 40 MIN. I THINK.

Haha, I felt completely safe. But I felt too dependent on them. Lol.

You should have seen it, in the first video close to the end, when you see that huge dust cloud emerge on the driver side, I got completely blasted by the dirt.

Chris, that phone was definitely worth the money you spent on it.
