I made some 360 degree panaoramas that you can view with Quicktime (free if you don't have it). It's pretty cool, you can pan around in a complete circle using the mouse.

I have one for:

Cadillac Hill
Buck Island Lake
Some spot on the trail
Some other spot on the trail.

They're pretty big (500K-2M) but I can email them to you if you're interested

Where is that pic of Richard that Jes posted? Its not looking familiar.

We just got back, from a great first trip to the con. I will let Zion put a post up for that one.

Did you guys attempt little sluice? I was planning on trying it but a toy was making it look extremely difficult.

The pic that Jes posted of me was going up True Sluice, and going to the left side around that big rock in the middle of the trail.

None of us tried Little Sluice this year. We drove over there from Buck Island on Saturday, but didn't get there until close to 6:00, and we still had to drive back to Buck Island. We watched a number of people go through, but it was a little late and none of us wanted to test the karma since it had already been a long day.

The next time I do the Rubicon, I want to take more time. More time to play on the fun stuff, more time to hike and swim, and more time to relax around camp.

Rubicon photos, better late than never!

I finally got a chance to get a page together with all the pictures I took on the Rubicon backwards mission a couple weeks ago. There are some OK wheeling shots but a lot of interesting pictures of the usual suspects I took around camp and around the campfire. If you want to check 'em out, point your favorite browser to:

Thanks again to everyone who made this a fantastic trip. I'm just about fixing all the crap I broke, though I have a few pictures I need to post for a second opinion on bent/kinked lower control arms. See you on the Dusy in a few weeks...

I finnaly fixed my junk as well. New upper and lower control arms. New motor mounts. New drop bracket and hiem joint. I didn't really need to replace the uppers but i figured what the hell I need more strenght. Lots of fun.

J.T.


P.S. When is Dusy?

 

[Goatman]

Really nice write up and pics, Scott. Thanks.

 

[Jes]

Very cool, Scott.
