Rob- you've got mail! I have a sweet video of you running up that hill, but its too large to send through my work email (the only email I current have)- any way I can compress .MOV files into a zip format?

You can put .mov files into a zip, but they won't get much smaller then they already are.

Damn! and I wanted to see that too... That and Smegal's night vision video.

Perhaps someone will offer up an FTP where you could put it.

It sounded like people were up for more runs during the week, but not quite so late at night- I think I had the farthest to travel, and it was well past midnight by the time I got home! There was alot more exploring that we could have done in the same area.

Rob- the size limit is a limit set by the system admin.- and I've been lax about getting online at home since I've been in Seattle, may just have to give you a disk the next time we meet up!

Oh well... I guess I will have to wait... not my strong suit Thanks for trying! If someone offers up an FTP, that might work out as well.

Tired? I feel great, well since I just woke up here at about noon.

I got some pics, but my camera didn't like the low light conditions without the flash. Also battery ran out at the hill climb and I forgot to have my backup charged!

Was tons of fun, but I really dont like going DOWN those hill climbs. Definatly fun tho! If this does turn into a weekly thing I am there.

The link to my pics:

Great pics Jowie! Alot of mine turned out pretty dark too- had to go into photoshop and crank up the contrast and brightness- I didn't remember it being that dark when taking those photos....

Yeah... I think I walked in the door up here at about 10 to 1. In bed at about 2:20, then up at 6.

I've since heard from 3 of my buddies that knew I was going who now want to come with!


It's habit forming and contagious!

Don't hate me...but I was showered & in bed by 12:30AM.

It somewhat off-set my getting up at 5:45AM for work...coffee is your best friend.

I had a good time guys...looking forward to more.

Yota, do you know of any other spots up there that are "worthwhile" 4x4 trails?

Jim
