Great Time!

I was completely new the event, and new to the "Expedition-Scene" in general. This event was 1st class, I had so much fun. Next year I may have to even compete.

Alright here are some pics:
Some great scenery on the way in:

Man power prevails over fancy winch zip lines:

I was impressed the amount of trash everybody picked up, this was in about 5 mins. Lance was a great motivator.

Ha! I ran into the same water challenge. When I got there, the tow truck was winching the car out and we had to wait until the car was recovered. A 20 min entertaining wait. :) Pretty funny we saw the same car in the water.:shakin:

Turned out it was an old guy that was lost in the night and drove off the stream crossing because he was confused. Luckily he wasn't injured. Maybe time to stop driving at night.:oops:

Quick hello from Norway, my hostess has to work today so I get to surf the net a few hours. :)

Great pics of the scorpions Brad, very creepy, though now that you know you will be more prepared. ;)

Nice pics from everyone, and Jeff, I'm glad your little one is okay. That is very scary.

Too funy.
Great pictures and good to meet you on this trip. Will and I had a chance to watch you pic some lines during the overland route with the 4Runner, you have some good driving skills! Keep it up.

Cheers :beer:,

Al and I also passed the car in the creek and were wondering what happened.

Sweet :wings:

He had dropped a few hints during the Expo along with a few funny stories about past dates that did not go over so well. Next time you guys are sitting by a bond fire with him ask him about the not so dead snake incident...
