[QUOTE="Bozz, post: 1962602, member: 43530"] I have tons of video, too, from GoPro that was magnet mounted on my roof and from dash-cam behind my rear view mirror. Have to sort through it all and condense it. Lost the part of coming up the Tail of The Dragon. Thought I had it set to not loop/overwrite, but....obviously not. :( I knew I should have pulled the camera card out when we got to the first campsite and put in a new one. Always go with your gut! That's the 4th or 5th time we've been on the Dragon, EVERY time by accident, never planned. Each time we get halfway up I say, "I think we're on the Dragon". The giveaway is all of the sports cars, motorcycles and photographers. Three different photography companies on 129 got me in 5 different spots going up, I just have to sort through and see which photo$ I want to get. I will post those when I get the digital downloads. Overall, it was a good shakedown trip. It was the wife's first official camping trip, and mine with a rooftop tent. We commented several times that it would have been much safer and enjoyable with a few more vehicles. There were a couple a 20+ mile dirt/rock/boulder roads that we had to use 4H/4L and if we had gotten stuck, it may have been days before anyone came along to rescue us. We had cellphones (which mostly (MOSTLY) didn't work, cb radio, gmrs radios (5watt and 50 watt) and uhf/vhf), but we now know somewhat how the Pioneers felt. Tons of downed trees across ALL the trails, but some Jeepers must have cut them up days before. Still, we had fun. We cut it short by a day to get home. We were exhausted. Still, we had fun. [/QUOTE]
