Would have been much less of a parade with us, that's for sure! How did you guys get anywhere? You were like the third group of 20+ Jeeps...

Lol third group heading that way to the trail there were 2 more just like it going around the other way , don't get me wrong I had a good time meeting new people that live close by to my new place that are cool and into wheeling but we went soooooo sooooo slow it was ridiculous I think I could have walked the trail almost as fast .I can't wait to see when you all plan for the next trip I'm down for sure even if I have to call out sick and leave the wife and kid home.

James didn't take hardly any, if any video this time around. MDB took some on friday of us climbing a hill and going through some mud holes. I'm going to make a short video/slideshow when I have time, but it will be crappy to say the least.

No video... my computer really needs a serious upgrade if I'm going to begin doing more video. Plus, the motion rig is just too heavy and underpowered... I need to redesign it, version 2.0. Despite those big issues, just too much else going on right now.

Next time I'll hope to get some more video. I do enjoy making them.

Sounds like James will need an offroad trailer for his portable movie studio!

No, no, version 2.0 will be built with portability and lighter weight in mind. Thinking it may store in an overhead loft configuration. Lots of room up there, out of the way, and easy to get to!

They're there, but locked. I'm overwhelmed with school. Will post up gradually as I have time. It'll be like the zombie Apocalypse....but instead of waves of zombies, it'll be waves of pictures in unpredictable amounts and times.

Be ready. :shoot: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I don't think there's any pics of the bear/bigfoot thing, the guys with guns were shooting and the ones without were hiding.

Ladies and gentlemen...

I have realised that I simply cannot sort through the pictures and post them at random like I intended to. I wanted to do it this way to keep hold of the pictures that I took that meant something to me...in a sense of editing them and publishing them as my work.

So...I ask you...please do not steal or edit the pictures I took...you'll be able to tell which ones they are. You are more than welcome to enjoy them personally, use them for the calendar...or whatever. Just don't take the fun and enjoyment from me. I love taking pictures...I love photography...I just don't ever have the time to fully enjoy it. TECORE gave me an entire weekend to do so..and I have hundreds of shots to play with once school is over with.

Now presenting all 748 unsorted and unedited shots from TECORE VII. Enjoy them.
