Safe travels home.

I took a quick peek at some of the video I shot. I'll need to do a bunch of editing since this was a new camera to me and I didn't turn on IS for video. It will be watchable once edited. Got some good stills and Im sure Wayne and John will post up their pics also.
Thanks again for giving us the grand tour of Swamp Lake, I''l be back with my JK when its ready to takle that trail.

Sorry I missed this one. As far as camaras I ordered the contour gps cam. It's like a gopro but stores trip gps data in the video so you can map the video and stuff. Can't wait till it comes in.

I Have A New Favorite Trail!!!
Wow! Swamp Lake is incredible... Rocks, trees, thunder, rain, more rocks, more trees, 10-1/2 hours on the trail, and all on four hours sleep after getting off the Coyote Lake trail about 2am Friday night.
Thanks a million Tom for guiding and spotting us on the trail. I'd still be there without your expertise and a little tug up that section near the end. Planning to make it back up before the snow hits. I'm going to wheel the Shaver Lake area two or three times a year! That place is awesome!
Tom, it was so cool watching you make that steep, wet rock section on about your fifth or sixth attempt. You worked that thing without excessive skinny peddle till you got enough side bite to kick it's butt! The wet rocks really made it more difficult eh? Hell, I had a tough time clearing it with you tugging me up!
I started pulling skid plates and bumpers last night to begin the "straightening" process. It's gonna take some time and several Harbor Freight hammers!
Thank You John for putting this thing together. It absolutely made my Summer!
And Thank You Matt for your great spotting and crazy, creative humor.
Hoping we all get some pics and video posted!
Let's do it again soon!!!
