El Camino del Diablo, the Devils Highway, it very much earned it's name this past weekend as Disabled Explorers and our wheelchair using disabled vet participant challenged rain, mud, smugglers, mechanical failure and cold in order to seek out adventure in a remote part of the Arizona-Mexico border.

Soon we will have the tale ready for telling, but for now a little taste of:

How the nights went for our participant-

Some new friends we made-

Wondering if we left anyone behind?

And finally a little video teaser of the rest of the story....(note we have some great volunteers wanting to work on video, but this is my quick hack so just wait till you see what they can do)

big thanks to Dave at Caltape for the video tape donation, and to Amsoil for the filters and fluids for our first oil change!

Hey Dave the video tape donation was a life saver...
I also have a little Kodak Zi8 but it hates vibration vs the Canon HV20.
It will be super cool to give our disabled vet a video to keep of the outing, plus the outtakes of course :)

Oh and on the Action Trackchair...yeah wait till you guys see that beast it action. It is the only thing that can give the WAVE a run for it's money in the coolness dept.

We are working on the story for a few magazines (trying to hit the offroad, disabled and travel segments) thus why you haven't heard "the rest of the story yet"...but I thought I would offer you guys a bit more of video put together by a young volunteer, he is an Eagle Scout in our Troop and wants a career in video (shooting more than editing, but he was willing to try). Please feel free to make comments on youtube, just be nice as this is his first effort.
