Actively packing and finalizing last tid bits before I leave for Moab in the morning. It's been a hectic last few months, so I'm looking forward to some much needed R&R :friday:

Here's a quick pic of the rig with some slight improvements, most notable is the ability to now bring along another offroad toy :safari: http://www.pashnit.com/forum/images/smi ... rtbike.gif

He arranged for a photographer to meet up with us for the day we were on the Rubicon. He's a very resourceful arranger. 'Nuff said.

Actually, I just got a waterproof Hero camera we could velcro to Speed's collar for some action film.

Did you get the new HD one? I'm not that big a fan of the older one. Seems to randomly work and not work at times.
