Ol' Blue would have to be February.

The calender year based on Shasta. With our own holidays and things printed in like a countdown to the next SST

I'm to stupid to put it in a normal link so you have to copy the full google maps link not only the underlined hyperlink.
Tip: hit the small "3D"button in google map and google earth becomes active if you have the G.E. plug in. Now G.E. flys it for you.

Awsome replay. Did you manually lay out this track or download from a GPS unit?

Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:08 am

I did put in 19 way points into google map.

My Garmin will save all my track history which I can then download directly into Google maps. Saves all sort of interesting info such a speed at each data-point. You can then pull up graphs of speed history and elevation profiles. I use it to post critique a trip. Surprisingly, sometimes the path isn't the one I thought I took.

I'm still trying to figure out how to upload a Google track back into the GPS.

Mr. Moore's daughter Maureen is a writer for the Willits News and wrote an article about the SST, including that great picture she took at Christopher's. The article is here:

I like that Thomas Guide's first post is a map. :-)

Thomas Guide was awesome. He and Linus were quite the crew on Surf City 1. We dubbed them "Tenitus".
Good Times traveling with the pod we had going. Hope Thomas Guide comes back next year!

Oh BTW! I owe you some BDR Decals. Send me your address on a PM

Thomas Guide! Bad ass copilot! The first day of that track was from SCIIs 4, and the second day was from SC1.

TG is the greatest SST navigator by far! On par with:

Very cool! I've got to meet Maureen one of these days to chat journalism. Surprised I haven't yet.

I've begun organizing notes and transcribing for my big magazine push. Hoping Top Gear magazine in the UK will pick the story up this year. All digits crossed.

Now THAT would be epic, Adam!

Thanks BDR and SCR for the credits.
I will work on my Italian for next year.
Maybe some harsh German commands will do it too. :)

Something like, "Gehen langsam verdammt verzögern."
