RedRover Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 As a heads up, if you are only viewing the photos Don and folks posted, there are some fun videos in Don's link (including a guy riding a moped up a rocky hill.)

DHappel Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think he would be offended that you called his 650 BMW thumper a moped, but at that point I also think he was beyond caring and about ready to leave the thing and walk out! Totally the wrong tool for the job. That bike belongs on a gravel road, not a rocky trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRover Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 It was a nice looking moped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Just as a follow-up, a little info about the Jeep guys. The first night we were sitting around the campfire they asked how often our club gets out like this. I started rattling off things we've done recently/have coming up this year and the response was basically 'wow!' - apparently their Jeep club doesn't do much overnight stuff and mainly just has day outings. They were impressed. Also, I talked with Andrew today (driver of the LJ....that's the long wheelbase 2-door for you guys not into Jeep lingo) and learned that after they left us they got up the stairs OK but took the bypass. Then at the parking lot, I believe in the same area Pedram popped a tire bead, the 4-door got himself solidly high-centered and had to be winched off. This is the point where I mention no winches were used by the Rovers. At some point he also learned that cheap sliders are not a good investment as he found he'd pushed them up into the bodywork somewhere along the trail and got a small dent.

Guest Pedram Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Parking lot..... Pop a tire?..... Me? No. On the trail yes. It's a jeep thing. Nobody understands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndamico Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I didnt have a chance to edit it at all so there are some boring spots. The real boring ones i didn't post. This was my first time using the new gopro hero 4's and first time mounting them on a vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I sometimes think I should get a gopro, then I think about all the work it will mean after using it to edit down the video to something useful and think maybe I'll wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can just turn the camera on and off when you want. It is equate to less footage of nothingness. Less or no editing. you can also use the remote to quickly take photos with the GoPro. They do take pretty good photos. Many of the ones I posted from the trip or photos from the GoPro. Food for thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pedram Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 After this trip I'm going to start dusting the webs off mine and get it back into action. Mine is manual so I have to get out and turn it off our on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Last month at Stonehenge I was really annoyed by the giant crowds standing around blocking all the best viewpoints taking 'selfies' with the camera-on-a-stick thing. Later I heard somebody use the perfect word to describe them: Narcisticks. Boom-nailed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only a matter of time before some bozo sent a stick through a priceless painting or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
