Well, here are some day shots of the campsite. Made a trip down to the Big Dip grocery (GeeSeven will remember the place) to pick up some snacks and Shelly made a friend. Very cute wittle puppy. Apparently is the neighborhood dog, and the happiest little mutt I've seen in a long time. Store owner said "don't you want to take it?" and of course we do, but then...uh, we'll have a dog!

Also, got some pix of the R/C garage. Got my RC-10 there, and Shaun was nice enough to loan me his charger AND his Emaxx! Very, very extremely cool. Lots of room to run out here, unfortunately, the ground is mostly flat. Still loads of fun though. Also pictured is the 17 year old (!) Sanyo battery pack from the last time I was playing with R/C cars. I bought it new, but never used it. Tried to fast charge it last night and it wouldn't got. Tried the slowe 1A charge rate and and after 3 or so hours, it charged! I stuck it in my buggy and got a respectable run out of it, considering that it's a 1200mAh battery. I let it cool, then stuck it back on the charger on the 3A fast charge. It actually took the fast charge this time! Ran it again and it works perfect. I'm totally amazed.

Stay tuned for more gratuitous camping pix!
