    Ice Climbing for the first time!!

    Nice Nick! I was treated to my one and only climb several years ago in the same area. Great White Icicle is what sticks to my mind... I'd have happily packed up my life and moved to SLC after that one. I'm jealous of the pictures. My one ice climb was such a mind blowing experience that it...

    USB GPS Puck with Mapsource

    Mapsource doesn't do live tracking (oh how i've tried)... so there would be no function for a puck to serve. As you've begun to sort out, I've seen it with the Delorme software. I imagine it would work with the National Geographic software too.

    Up-yers!!!! (Expedition Trophy)

    Unexpected perks! In this last week since the trophy I've experienced a couple of added life bonuses as a direct result in participating in the fun with you guys. 1. To say that my girlfriend Christine was dubious about hanging out in a competitive environment with a bunch of boys and their...

    Up-yers!!!! (Expedition Trophy)

    Ah... Jeff you are the closed course legend. Your name was mentioned among the shadows in hushed voices. Naturally, you would be interested in the winner in this catagory. Well, the driver who had the fastest time didn't win, but the closed course winner did use the same vehicle (what an...

    Up-yers!!!! (Expedition Trophy)

    The 2008 Expedition Trophy Champion is ... somthing I don't think I should announce. But I will say that I think this is the first time the winner wasn't from Arizona. Pretty cool deal since some really had to make an effort to get out here.

    Pics or Diagrams of RTT Mounted On/In/Over Truck Bed Wanted

    Thanks Bjorn! I remember going through some of the same questions. I had a very simple design that I took to a local fabricator. He added the flash since he "didn't want it to look like a painter's rack". The styling matches elements of the truck and I really like it. I just measured the...

    109 Expedition rig build

    Envy? Of this rig?? So much it hurts. Your sexy 109 is one thing but the whole process and focused way you confronted the build is something I aspire to in my most lavish fantasies. It takes quite a pile of resources to pull it off. Although its not in the cards for me... following your...
