Fish Creek & Sandstone Canyon - Nov 21, 2009
« on: November 21, 2009, 10:06:12 PM »
We had a great turnout, 12 Xterras in all. Weather was perfect, in the low 70's with little wind. We stopped to get some fresh apple pies in Santa Ysabel on the way out, and had a great lunch spot in Sandstone Canyon. I only got a few pics this trip.  Thanks to everyone who showed up, it was a great time. Lots of new people, many of whose names I can't remember, hope to see all of you out with us again.

Lined up at Split Mountain while we check out the Anticline.

Mitch didn't feel like parallel parking like the rest of us.

Here are a few of mine.

Before we met up with everyone else, we stopped so Riley could be attacked by a dinonicus.

We had a great dinner and big campfire. A troop of scouts from Corona came by and shared our fire for awhile. They were excited to get warm, and quickly devoured our leftover cookies and bean-freeto pie.

It was a rough trip for my gear - my Nikon D90 errored out for about two hours and refused to reset following a factory reset and removing the battery. Finally it came back to life after I rotated the mode wheel. Sunday I manged to have my action video camera come lose off the windshield ... fall of the truck as I slowed ... and then I ran over it.  :(

Seriously Paul? I brought my Nikon D90 as well and I got some weird error at the very end of trail where we hiked. Good thing it was just the memory card. The Sandstone Canyon/Fish Creek gods must have something against the D90's.  :P

It was great meeting new people and seeing some old friends. Thanks for putting this together Frank!

Paul: I gotta learn some techniques from you. I like that Fred Flinstone pic!

Good times everyone!

Great pictures, it looks like it turned out very well. Are there any plans for a December run?

Bruce, I'm pretty sure he does go to LMU, actually I think they both do. 

How are things going up there anyway?  Have you picked a major yet, or is it too soon for that?  Hope you can make the next run.
