I will NOT swap one of those weak, crappy things in my truck.
Just had a thought........Would the "guts" from a 4 speed Mustang II work? I have a low milage one that's just sitting there........

We had about 7-10 max at most G2G's. Just seems to work out that way, but we still have a good time usually!

Every one we've had has been good except one. A few years ago Snowbunny and I decided to have a joint Ore/Wa GTG on the Columbia River. Didn't work out so good. Chris and I showed up from Oregon, and Snowbunny and her daughter were the only ones from Washington. Kinda lonely that time.............lol

It was something they added a year or so ago and when you posted a picture they showed up in the post as a reduced size picture. They had the little yellow (I think) band at the top that said something like "click here to see larger picture". Allowed you to see the entire post on one screen without having to scroll left to right on the page.

It still works. They just dropped the yellow bar at the top. Now if you move your cursor over the picture a small window should pop up and ask you to click for the full image...

Yep, I just figured that out. It works the opposite on my 'puter though. I have a great big "monster" picture and when I click on it I get a smaller picture that fits in the middle of the screen and you have little arrows at the bottom that lets you view different pics.

Thanks Don and Jim for sharing the photos of the GTG.

I really wish that I could have made it but I felt like I needed to be home to help my wife with our daughter's birthday party.

Thanks Tiny. I was kind of disappointed in myself though. Generally a trip like that would have generated 200 to 300 photo's easily. Dad was a professional photographer and since the advent of digital "film" Vs. the expensive chemical film, I have a tendency of taking thousands of photo's and sorting them out later on the computer.

Guess this trip I was too busy making "time" going down the road and BS'n once I was there. Almost forgot I even had the camera with me! I'm kicking myself in the **** right now for not taking it on the ghost town tour. I can't believe I did that! Must have been all of the sagebrush fumes getting to me and causing flashbacks to my time in the high desert.
