The igloo wasn't cold in our opinion. I've certainly camped below freezing below and it stayed above freezing inside. Our little plastic 16oz water bottle didn't even freeze overnight.

As for the last set of pictures they were take with in older Canon DSLR the XT model. They were 3 seperate pictures merged into one with Photomatix. Do a search for HDR on here and there should be a thread or two on the process. Matt's been helping me get started with those.

It's been a good year even if I was gone for 8 months of it. Work has been a bit better since I've been back so we've been able to plan a few trips. This year should be a busy one as well. We have a trip planned to Egypt in March but that is definitely up in the air at this point.

For a second there, I thought you guys had built that igloo but then I read closer Very Happy Still looks like an awesome weekend.

You guys going to try again to build one before winter runs out?

Sweet pics, btw

Winter has pretty much ran out around us. It is still within a 2 hour drive though, but we haven't had a good storm in a weeks. If we can get some fresh stuff I'd give it another shot.

I got some new wheels to see Italy in now. Thinking about a trip down the Amalfi coast to Naples and Pompei this summer.

Tracy you were not the first person to ask me that. Believe me I tried to find another 2001 R6 but they are hard to come by over here. But no I won't be changing anything on here or elsewhere.

Looks like you'll be having some fun getting around. Might help with the gas situation as it is.

Some more recent adventures:
Went to Milan for a concert, got a quick bite to eat near the Duomo.


Headed down to Venice for Carnavale








Went for a little drive and saw the worlds largest bottle of wine.




We are off tomorrow for a week in Jordan with a short layover in Istanbul, wish us luck.

Thanks Stan, the pics are a work in progress and aided by some technology lately. Getting out there and taking them helps as well.
