SCWDP RR2003 was MUHAHAhahaha . . ..

It was a BLAST!




For those of you that missed out (eh-em, Tyson!) we'll post some pict's here.
(BTW; Eric Coffey and I, took over a Gigabyte of photos!)

Here are a few:

Part of the "BLAST" was a "Blast-Zone" . . . Mt Saint Helens, that is.

You can just make out the road.


Maxnine11 didn't have his SC with him for the drive.
He brought this C2S instead.
I think we can forgive him after all, he did make it all the way from LA ! (eh-em, Tyson!)

Glenn, will you post that one picture with my car in the middle. sort of a long distance shot that was kinda blurry? or email works too.
wow, i had such a blast, how was day 2?

[finadict]

Glenn, Great picts. You, Mark, & Doug did a great job of putting the event together, Sus and I were just sorry we couldn't make it to Hood River. Again thanks for the effort, it was a great time.

Wow! Excellent shots, great cars and great scenery. Looks like it was a blast, congrats. More, more...more.

I drove out to Mt St Helens in a rental once just the week of the anniversary a couple of years ago. It was really amazing, the drive was cool too. Pontiac Grand Am brakes aren't up to the job.

The scenery is amazing, and the remnants after what 15 or 20 years are so prominent. It's an amazing experience. I bet it's even better in a 911.

Thanks for the complements. The difficult part here is taking a 2.7Mb file and reducing it down to the .1Mb restriction.
. . the art suffers. . .no one understands me.

I'll keep the photos coming, but there are a lot, and I have a real job.

I'll let Eric Coffey post his (he took some great shots) and I hope to see some of the results from the other periscoping cameras.

[Kmatts]

....."and i have a real job" i'm confused, what is this ?
no seriously, Glenn thanks for all the great photos.
Kyle.

[island911]

Okay, Just a few "day two" shots. . .

Our gracious organizers, seen here; (Mark Sanders & Randy Wells, leading the way)


Headed to the mountain . ..another volcano.


Max periscoping.

The difficult part here is taking a 2.7Mb file and reducing it down to the .1Mb restriction.
. . the art suffers. . .no one understands me.

720 pixels wide, 72 ppi, and just about any jpeg compression setting.

As a fellow artist, I feel your pain. But jpeg allows you to post a picture that's pretty big.

[island911]

Yeah, Jack . ."BIG" (and still looking descent) is dependent on the color variation of/in the shot, and how much color variation you want to retain.

Awesome pics island! Thanks for sharing. Also looks like a healthy turnout of fine machinery indeed. I'd make good use of the batch command in photoshop to web prep those pics. You know it can process and create webpages complete w/ html too. Then just link to that.

[Kmatts]

ok, i made a huge mistake missing day 2, damn!!!!!!!!

[arcsine]

I agree with Tad. Get a webpage up with big images and go from there. Color fidelity is an issue but it will be regardless.

Is someone going to give us a rundown on what we missed?

[island911]

Yeah Kyle, you blew it. Randy found us some awesome roads!

Oh well, we can always make another trip.

. . . I hear Autumn is nice . . . Tim told me.

Great pics!!!! Hope to be there next year..

Stay tuned here for an announcement of the posting of more photos on the official Round-Up '03 website. And thanks to Glenn and Eric for their efforts.

On behalf of the organizers of the SCWDP Rainforest Round-Up '03, I'd like to thank all the participants for making it a huge success.
A special thanks to Steve Weiner (Rennsport Systems) and Pelican Parts for their support.

[DByers]

Great pictures! Looks like it was a fantastic drive. Hopefully Max will be at BBRIII and give us the in person story.

Those photos are stunning! I'd love to visit that region someday.
