Awesome video Eddie & Cindy, love seeing new ones can wait to see more!!! Great job!!!!!!

Thanks Tony :cool:

Thanks Ed & Cindy for all the hard work you put into these videos for us to enjoy.

How long was this sitting on the shelf between filming and publishing? Moby was sporting CA plates instead of Nevada and it also looks like it was shot before Mel lost all that weight before the 2015 JKX rides. He's lost a bunch of weight I hope he's doing OK..

Mikie..

We did this run right after getting back from the Colorado JKX - that was back in 2011. Mel is fine, just wanted to lose weight and has since put a few back on being that so many people thought he was sick :crazyeyes:

Just got done watching the video! Really good, about had a tear well up in my eye towards the end haha.
Also the shot with the whole valley in the background when you guys are climbing the rocks is just perfect.
Look forward to more videos , thanks!

LOL!! Glad to hear you enjoyed it :cool:

Good Times. I bet you guys were exhausted after that one.

Truth be told, if you do this with doors on, you could probably keep some of the water out. But, not all of it. It's definitely something to be concerned with if you do water crossing like this.

Hi Wol, sorry if this is a repeat question but why didn't your group just hop out at the committee bypass once you knew it was getting dark?

Thank you, we're so flattered to hear you say as much as that is really what we are hoping to do.

Thank you, we love Fordyce and the whole area up here too :yup:

LOL!! What fun would that be? :crazyeyes:

For those who know me, the running joke is that I can never lead a group through a trail without getting us off of it before sundown. In fact, we NEVER do night runs - most of our runs just turn out to be one :crazyeyes:

Never say never. One of these days I will talk you into a night run up to Hunter Lake. If nothing else, the view of Reno on the way back down is cool.

Okay, maybe I won't say that I'd never do one on purposes. Certainly, I end up going on them whether I like it or not anyway :crazyeyes:

Love these videos. Always awesome!!

Another fantastic movie added to your already awesome collection. Thank you

Thanks guys, we're so glad that you liked it :cool:

Heard the stories, cool to see the matching footage! Have to hit that trail.

We were going to run it this year but it just didn't work out. We really need to make it happen next year.

watched twice now and I plan on watching it with my son when he gets home from school today lol :yup:

Awesome! We're relieved that people like you would be willing to watch it more than once :cool:

Another great video. Thank You.

Thanks!

LOL!! You just need to make it happen :yup:

Yet another great video! Thanks for taking us along on the adventure! You two make it feel like we are right there with you!

We're so glad that you feel that way about our film. Thank you.

Nice video. More like snake bit! Ok next trip I need a snorkel, more lights, a welder and a fire extinguisher.

LOL!! BTW, since you seemed to have missed it, you really DO NOT need a snorkel. As for lights, you want rock lights and not more forward facing lights - they will do NOTHING for you in the rocks other than blind your spotter. Fire extinguisher is a MUST :yup:

Already commented, but I got to thinking why is it I liked it more than most. I'm guessing from the right side body damage on Moby this was filmed shortly after the 2011 JKX. The camera work was good as usual, but the editing was 2015 better and the writing and narration has improved with time. Am I close?:idontknow:
