From last Saturday, the day that was cut short because I got food poisoning and barely got myself home by dark.

Three highlights videos: First is the long one of Teebes on 33's:

Then from earlier in the day, a solo run up Rainbow Wash, a mud-wall wash that gets alternately narrow and wider, ending up at a dead end 100 foot wall. Nice cirrus clouds in the sky, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB0sM55SBrI

And one of me playing around at the bottom of the mud walls of the Borrego Badlands, driving up a few side hills - before I got the inclinometer. Just a fun swooping time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SmeA9bwC4w

And a few pics of me on the Borrego Sink, a horrible mud pit when wet, over a mile diameter collection of the finest silt and slickest greasy mud. But OK, if a bit dusty and 6 inches deep when dry.
