3/4 mile uphill run from yesterday

[greg g]

Here is the last video from yesterday. Had to find a different host site as it is over 100 MB which is the limit for most sites. We were holding 60 just before letting off for the curve at the top.

Probably runs for you because you have the file on your own computer. Try clearing your cache or using a different computer to see if you can access the file on that site. I didn't try it myself so I don't know. Takes too long on dialup to download a video so I don't bother trying to look at any.

I'm still getting the same message. (not published) Publishing in progress. Will be available soon.

That worked. Boy you sure get a nice view from your windshield, everything is Green. When I look out my windshield everything is brown. I sure like the videos of our cars going down the street.

Dennis:D

Ya think that might have something to do with living in the desert??

Dennis in my 4 or 5 trips out to the western states, my wife and daughter commented on that same subject several times. And even with breathtaking scenic panoramas of the Grand Canyon, Canyon Lands, the Bad Lands, Black Hills and others of note it sure gets brown west of the big muddy. Mountains and deserts have their undeniable beauty, but I alway like comig back home to our green valleys, and hills. Even when the leaves are off the trees and the ground is covered in snow, the contrasts still hold sway over the uniform brown.

If you ever come to the north east, we'd be happy to show you around.

I agree Greg. It's nice to see all the different colors in our neck of the woods. I did like the Bad Lands though last month when we were out there. But.......as you say, not much color involved as shown in this picture. But.......they do have some area's that look like ours such as like the Black Hills and Custer State Park. Lots of green in those areas. And the sunsets in eastern SD are great.

The other thing I didn;t get used to out there was seeing about 30 miles down the string straight interstate and ot seeing any thing on either side of the road except pronghorn antelope (aka future road kill)

Here is a road sign on Fort Irwin Road that, before I retired, I passed every day on my way home from work.

Both the first and second videos worked ok for me.

Fun stuff.

I bet if you drove 20 miles over the speed limit you would soon find that there is a patrol car in the area watching absoutely nothing except the speeders.

If you had more trees around there they could use one of these.

Norm;

Did you actually see the bad lands as pictured in your posting or were you standing next to someone who did?

Yes Don, I took that picture myself. That one and the ones below are some more that were taken with the digital camera. I have many more better ones taken with my good old 35 mm Pentax camera, using old fashioned (but better) film. But.........still the pictures don't do them justice. You have to be there to really get the full benefit of the site.

Norm, to get the full effect of the badlands, drive through them in the dark. Its a little scary and makes you think you're on the moon.

That could get a little hairy going down those hills and around those curves. Was using 2nd gear (drive 2) going down a lot of them. Sometimes even dropping down to Low gear, so I wouldn't have to use the brakes so much.
