There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Okay, this still isn't much of a blog but we just stopped after 12 hours of riding today. We are just absolutely beat so we stopped early so we could get some real sleep. Also we want to get up early as we are in the desert and it is hot. Right now we are in Carson City, NV. But I don't want to leave everyone hanging. I left off on the big day. Saturday, the main event! So what I am going to to is post some photos with captions. I hope that will help get you all through your blog withdrawal.
Okay as you know, the day started off with Breakfast at the Hard Rock Cafe. It was buffet style and it was very good.
Duane and Wanda in line at one of the many buffets so that no one had a long wait.
Spydergirl (Katelyn and her husband)
Brian (bjt) and Beth (BlackWidon)
Spanky with Beth and Debbie (Hawkii's wife)
Smokster (Greg and Nancy)
After Breakfast we were given time to walk around and get pictures while we waited for the presentation.
I have to find my photos of the presentation, but they aren't that good regardless. Marc LaCroix handed out the awards and got everyone fired up and then we got in line for the movie. Everyone got free popcorn, pop and candy. Not too bad.
Here's Brian and me with Bumblebee
Next came the part everyone was waiting for, the Canyon Ride. It was awesome. I have some photos here and I am processing about 9 minutes of video so you can all go on the ride with us. As soon as it is ready, I will post it.
SpyderBear had to go of course,
Check out the spyders in the mountains
Here is another one of Brian and me at the spyder stop.
Here is a short video that I took at our mid way stop.
I will post photos of the dinner and stuff from the way home later. I have got to get some sleep. Hope you enjoy these though.

It is just an inexpensive Kodak Zi6 but I love it. I can take still pics, VGA or HD video. I can put up to a 32 MB memory card in it, I have a 16 right now and that has been plenty. It takes double AA batteries so I keep extra around and I never lose power that way either. I do believe I payed less than $200. I just need to get a better mount from Ram, one with the plate instead of just the ball with the screw and I think there would be a bit less jiggling. Overall, I am very happy though.

I think you are right, I do remember the back pack. It was a great ride wasn't it?

Nice that you edited out the LOVELY traffic we sat in getting over to canyon.
I also have some video I will post, probably closer to the end of the week.
I was so happy we got to meet you and your husband in person and even got to wish you well on your trip back home. Hope to meet you two again real soon. The weekend was very memorable.... including our 15 hour trip back home yesterday.
Here is to a continued safe journey back home.
