Watch John's production on YouTube :)
A magical two weeks! And now it's time to share what memories we captured on our cameras. Everyone should be able to add their photos and videos and comments on the sight.
Open a Shutterfly account (no charge) and download your photos to a Shutterfly album. Then it's pretty easy to add them.
Each time one of us makes changes, there will be a notice coming to your email box.
NOTE - the entire site will come to you weekly until it seems that anyone who will be adding things has done so -- then I'll change the frequency. If it bugs you that it comes too often, let me know, I can change that frequency on individuals.
NOTE 2: If you want to see the Bail Bucket poem or words to the song written for the boatment -- look at the "more" tab and find Captain's night. Tom should add his "10 things I love/hate" lists.
"E.F.I" The motto for the trip: "Every F....in' Inch!"
"Fred? Are you still in the boat?
Catherine? Are you still in the boat?" Matt in Ruby
"You can bail now."
"A dry boat is a happy boat." --
"Bonus hike!" --
"Is Matt wearing his flip flops?" --
"WOW" - Paul Myrow --
"Holy Shit!" - Paul Myrow --
"Original Horizontality" - was that a reference to having too much Tequila --
"Hawwwwt Coffeeeee" - Steiner --
"God Damn Privates" - Clair --
"Another God Damn waterfall" - Clair --
"Moki Mac has chairs?!?" - Diane --
"I'll go topless if you will." - Tom --
"Sweet" - Jan --
