[Nikson]

For those who missed Peter Fuchs (guest speaker)

p.s. video isnt too good due to lighting, but I think Audio part is well worth it for anyone wanting to hear this.

I still havent figured out how to "embed" the Youtube video on my posts...
feel free to schoo me...

[DAVENET]

I believe DAVENET maxed out the memory card on his camera, just waiting for his posts, know he took pictures of everyone, every cat, and everything, he maybe having a little cat lag and should recover soon.

so, Mr. NET, pictures soon?

Soon enough I will be back in the office and I'll get some loaded up!

 

[Sno-Surfer]

Awesome. Good stuff Nikson. Glad some one got them in motion. I really like the sped up part of the snow cats going up and down the hill.
All the photos are great to see. Time sure flys when you're having fun and it's hard to see and talk to everyone.

Anyone know when we can book our reservation for next year?

Someone is Tuckered out in one of these pics. Irongoat was a very soothing ride. Still in awe from the trip. Both Brian's were beat. Ear infections and sore throat for both yesterday after the trip back.

Iphone took the best pictures it could.

Hung out in Portland for a few days. Found one of your great donut shops Voo Doo and their famous donut.

Took a very beautiful long ride back to Portland the scenic route. You have some beautiful country out there. Hope to be back one day!

The last photo is my favorite sticker that the shop at Timberline had displayed.

 

[redsqwrl]

Explain what is going on in the first photo. I am intrigued with the set up. I had visions of vehicle based camp, but the propane tank and air compressor looking box has me wondering...

the propane tank and air compressor looking box has me worried, I was parked very close to that.

 

[Helmsman38]

The propane tank had some snow inside the fitting and the compressor was energized from the car to blow out the propane tank fitting. They hooked up a heater to the propane tank for the over night stay in the tent while sleeping on cots.
