thanks bilfman!
bigfoots are sweet campers, would have liked to got one, but around here they don't come up for sale often, & when they do they, it seems like their priced like the Airstreams of the trailer world ....

just hope that place stays remote (no names given....) used to be rough old logging roads in, but a few months ago the power company did a number on some of them to get their equipment in, do-able in most anything now- curse or blessing?

Here's a link for the roll bar mount I have.

You can see it comes with a couple of links to add so you can set the camera up square. As far as music with your video, the Gopro software will allow you to import any music you have into your video. Takes a little time to play around with it, but the software is pretty easy to use .

Good Job! The GoPro software is pretty fun to play around with. One thing to watch, depending on the artist you use for the music on your video when you post it on youtube they may edit it for you. Due to copyrights they can strip your chosen music off to avoid having to deal with royalties.

You'll know it's happening as it will stop the process to post the video. It will stop it and advise you and suggest some similar generic music.

Here is one of mine from this past weekend

only 1 tree and only a hammock!

[dieseldawg142]

long weekend here so we took the camper up to Box canyon for some riding


and again i forgot the camper steps in the garage....of course wife was not impressed....

[dieseldawg142]

great place to ride. sadly i killed my beloved 12 yr old canon sure-shot
battery's in the go-pro died, so i switched to one handed riding bs again & was video'ing the fam damily in a field, raced ahead for a better shot....did'nt see the half buried log in the grass......on the plus side i got a vid of the camera's last few seconds of life......(but wife does not want it posted, she's in it-bummer!)

my son was a little perturbed i did'nt take him up mt cheam with me last june, so a few weeks later, we hit the mountain again


for an almost 70 yr old mutt (in doggie yrs), dieseldawg was raring to go again, but near the top his age started catching up, he went & laid in the snow for 15 minutes, and we only had to go threw snow this time if we felt like it


it was easier this time with no snow, but for some reason it seemed steeper.....

[dieseldawg142]

up at the top, got better pics this time, brought dawg's leash


thats the very top, going up there....

[dieseldawg142]

at the peak....

[dieseldawg142]

my son & me went on a very special hike today.

a little background, back in 1956, a North Star (DC-4) took off from Vancouver BC with extra fuel in case it could'nt land at Calgary. just up the road from us when it was near Hope, an engine caught fire. it turned around to head back to Vancouver but turned the wrong way & slammed into the east side of Mount Slesse at a hi rate of speed (with extra fuel .... )the plane & all 62 people on board literally disintegrated, they hit about 200 ft from the top, some pieces flew up on top of the mountain, the rest tumbled 2000 ft down the mountain. it is a extremely remote area, with no access, it took 5 months to find the wreckage.

it truly is a moving place....

Mount Slesse, or as we locals call it "the Fang". about 15 yrs ago i came up the west side on Razorback ridge ( dont need ropes) & found no wreckage. that route has been closed off since some major slides. we decided to go up the east side where the North Star hit, without ropes though, we're not going to the very top this time. in '95 our guvment finally made it an offical grave site, & whacked a half-assed trail up about 1/2 way, & put up a memorative plaque. the trail ( if you can call it that) goes past the plaque a small way, then your on your own, the immense snows change & wipe the mountain every yr


the road is in horrible shape, had to pick our way over 3 slides, & that hill is steeper than it looks, did'nt want the truck wandering off....


at the start, you can just see Slesse over the trees. cool little bridge...

[dieseldawg142]

'bout a third of the way up, Disillusion peak, Mt Rexford, & Rexford South across the valley



the last, or first row of the Cascades before the valley. son & me have been up 2 of them, myself i have been up 4 of them. would like to get all 7 eventually....


Crossover peak

[dieseldawg142]

we're coming up to the "bowl" this is where the plane hit & the debris tumbled to


the plaque

[dieseldawg142]

the plane hit about 200 ft from the top, when we got closer, you can still see scars 60 yrs later


you can really see where the snow comes down Crossover


at about 6000 ft, & my 10 yr old fart is still hanging in there, he was a little sore & tired when we got home

[dieseldawg142]

that's Station D peak beside Slesse


we're sneaking up on Slesse, the last 1500 ft or so were TOUGH! no trails & we're bushwacking right up the side of the mountain, this was a hard climb


almost at the base of the Slesse spire, without ropes, we're not going up it

[dieseldawg142]

we made it to the base. the rock is all worn smooth around it. if we had more time, i'm pretty sure we could get across to Crossover, then up Razorback, but we also know a storm is blowing in later in the day-not the place to be....


there's also about a 600 ft drop along the way, & nuts, i dont have dawg's leash again....


at first i was like "what the ......some idiot packed up some paint !?"
'till i got closer- mother nature's graffiti


looking up the spire. it was very humbling being there, looking where the plane hit, where it landed, pieces of people still on the mountain, we came across small pieces of DC-4. my son & me never talked, it was just like, i dont know, nothing needed to be said, the granduer of the place, & the tragic-ness of it...

[dieseldawg142]

just wandering around the base


the propellar cairn, one of flight 810's. some people put what they find there, others leave it where it is. what we saw, we left where it was


i thought the last paragraph on the plaque was very poignant & appropriate.

[dieseldawg142]

notice the sky is'nt blue anymore? better get going.


just in time, barely off the "bowl" & here it comes....

[bilfman]

Found myself a camper , quite well equipped with a/c, furnace, bathroom with shower and outdoor shower. Installed a 40 w solar panel and also put in a 1500w inverter so can live pretty much off grid. More of a 'glam'per then a camper, but it is wife approved !
