I confess, I said "dammit" once on the way down Diamond Creek. (We got caught in heavy dust.) x(

The on-board camera was running but I haven't seen the footage yet--Ray and Harris have the tapes.

I don't think there was anyone who would have minded all the dust beeing sent straight to hell this weekend (well... the devil may not have liked it, but he is an odd fellow- so you never know)

I think damning the dust was quite appropreate, even if ineffective...

I think we probably used come 'colorful' language when referring to the dust as well. Better watch the incar witout the kids the first time through.

I think this will be the first time I will have to put subtitles on the incar footage. It was fun simultaneously translating the notes from numeric English to descriptive Turkish. It seemed to work better that way, first day we tried English numerics and we were not happy.

I managed to remember to turn on the cam before each and every stage.

I'll have to find some time and motivation to transfer them to DVD now. Blehhhhh.

I am still cleaning dust from everything and everywhere, I have never had dust get in the grooves of my ring before. It was so dusty...Well...It made Dillon curse. That dusty.

I'm pretty sure I expressed something along the lines of "dammit" at the Diamond Creek dust at some point. I don't think it was that exact word though.

(psst. Hey you. Yeah you, the guy over there sitting in front of a computer wearing the funny hat. Wanna know a secret? I wasn't cussing the dust. )
