West Coast Camp Commander 2011 Pictures & Tales

[ped4599]

Got Home last night (Sat). Was good to see you all again and meet a few more people. We had an awesome time. I was too tired to organize any photos so i just dumped everything i had so far to the following link. THANK YOU to Bills grandson for taking many of the photos on Chinaman. I handed him my camera and and he fired away while we navigated the terrain. We have tons of awesome video too, but it will take while to get it all ready to view.

I have tons of pics of all the members on the trail taxing their XKs!
Here is the link for my photos: WCCC11 https://picasaweb.google.com/ped4599...eat=directlink


My brother and I did a lot of fun stuff this week:
(few teasers)
First time ever rafting. Bill's grand kids went in the same boat with us. it was such a Blast!



We made the Chinaman Gulch Loop!

Trialbyfire's group and My brother and I, made it all the way to Grizzly Lake. it was a pretty crazy trail. Once we got there, they went back down and we climbed (not hiked) to the peak of the mountain along the lake. We made the climb to the peak up and back in 4 hours and 15 min. It was a butt kicker to say the least, but we made it up and back with no injurys.


Here are a few of the "Jeep portion" of the climb. I am glad Trailbyfire was there to vouch for how steep and rugged this was. The harsh winter seems to have really ripped the trail up.

Comparing the quality of my pics to Ped's I really wish I would have brought my Canon I used the last 2 years. The first one is a teaser. I started working on a videography of pics taken during the trip. Got tired last night, but I'll finish it tonight then I'll start working on combining the videos taken during the Mosquito snowfield crossing and a couple of vids from Chinaman Gulch.

For some unknown reason a few of the pics were removed during the upload. I'll chec it and repair if I can. Also the audio is missing and it was their audio.
