Yet more pictures...

Sundog on Friday evening.

Exploring the vista.

The dusky sunset reflecting the reforestation methods of days gone by.
Image

Emerging from the bush.
Image

Sunday morning @ six hours. Normally I would be making a fire but due to regulations I took pictures and made tea instead.
Image

Later that day I am following the DinoEvo up to pastures green.

The grass is truly greener in this pasture.

No yellow stuff here.

It's a great big sky at two thousand metres.

Winding amidst the copses.

It's Heaven up here in the Elysium Fields.

How many more reasons do you need? great offroading, a large Delica/Pajero community, the ocean, the mountains....what else do you need?

Looks like it was an amazing trip guys. Awesome photos taken. Damn I'd love to join you guys if there was another trip in the future. Would there be room for a 400 to join the caravan?

RichD, I think you'll need to post extra pictures/videos from our last trip to get people more tempted... 8-)

Alright, alright, I finally got around to processing the video and composing something presentable.

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4FA0vw13U04&&h ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4FA0vw13U04&&h ... fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>[/youtube]

P.S. If I could have deleted the butterfly from this otherwise terrifically appropriate animoto theme, I would have. I'm sure that our collective manhood can handle it.

Nice little video. BTW, did you go up Lamont Creek FSR too? Hudson Bay Meadows use to be a favorite of mine until they push a road right by it.

Wow, nice job, Rich! That is a classy little work of art.

We came across Lamont FSR while traversing a deactivated FSR and we left Lamont on a deactivated FSR ~ Only to come across a newer extension of it that was not on our maps. When the Lamont sign photo was taken we had come to a crossroads with a sign saying "NT ->"; Rich got out of his Delica and walked over to the sign post to find another sign laying face down on the ground that read "LAMO".
