Are all those Go-Pro vids going to be posted? Since my lady was in the truck with me, we didnt get any good pics of my truck going through, the vid would be cool if we can get it.

x2 I was wondering about this myself....
FWIW, I grabbed the track log with timestamps from my GPS, and it turns out the estimate of 45 minutes to complete the trailer recovery for those involved was surprisingly accurate.
I was the first vehicle on the scene after it happened, so for Justin in may be a minute or two more, probably a minute or two less for the other two vehicles that showed up to help.
Last moving timestamp before the recovery was 10:59:17 AM and first moving timestamp after was 11:45:43 AM.
It was a little unclear to me that the navigational portion was timed anyway, but I thought I'd throw this out there in case you guys are still intending to post standings and taking time into consideration.
I would also understand getting dinged for this, since it was our choice to stop and help out with the recovery.

I do not think anyone should be dinged for this, helpign was the right thing to do.

Should get bonus points. You could be saving someone's life in the real world.

Sadly I was originally right behind him signing the clipboard at the top of the hill but took a different route down or I would have been right there to help him right it and get down to the bottom. When I got down and didn't see him I just assumed he had problems finding his way back... little did I realize what really happened until he returned.

Finally a chance to get on the computer... It's been a long week at work putting in a lot of long days.
I had a blast at the Rally and wanted to thank all the folks who put their time into making it a great event. Those guys all worked non-stop making it happen.
Of course I didn't do all the things I wanted like trail riding in the Land Cruiser and I was kicking myself for not entering the Trophy Challenge. As soon as I got up to the obstacle course and saw all the fun I knew I had made a mistake in skipping it.
I camped with Ben and his KLR. He gave the presentation on his South America trip and gave the MC traveling class. Ben has a great attitude on life and travel and I'm glad he let me share his space. Originally I just wanted to share his shady spot.
I think the coolest part for me was the motorcycle instruction. It was priceless. Plus all the cool bikes that took part were fun to geek out on.
Charlie and Dirk both gave excellent instruction and seem to have a knack for putting things in terms that we could all understand.
I didn't take a ton of pics and others have posted just about all the cool stuff so I don't really have much more to contribute but here are a few just the same..
Christian changing his tire before a ride - (not sure if it's the first goaround or the second since he put it on backwards the first time):sombrero:
Thy guys securing the overturned VDub
Mr. helpful setting up to pull up the poor Syncro
Making repairs for the drive home
