Let me know if you need some help with uploading all those pictures and videos. I've got to do some work in Virginia today but should be free later in the evening. Shoot me a PM if you're running into any glitches - since I'll be close to a machine most of the day.

He's doing pretty good time if he's crossing through the Delaware Water Gap. I guess he's deep in New Jersey by tonight. I'm checking the pictures you uploaded - you do know that you could rotate those pictures that are sideways even after you've uploaded them right? When did he leave Maryland after dropping his pooch off? I'm figuring out his average miles going through that area. Thanks for the update.

**turtle_tami** · 07-03-2008, 09:45

he came home at like 10:30pm on the 7th left on the 11th at 4:30pm from penmar park,
the night he got home was crazy, we spent time intruducing hudson and erwin.
we spent a few days together

, had some

time ,then i dropped him off
he was in vernon nj on the 1st.
he called we just talked about stuff, he said he would call me in a few but he had in and out reception was to anoying,
so i dont really know where he was.. sorry guys**

i know it doesnt work for me* i dont know why its easyer for me to put them back on the computer and edit them from there. it works. long as it gets done.

That reminds me, one of your videos looked like you videotaped a youtube movie by pointing your camera at the screen... You can use this program to convert any format to any format, including .flv

Oh for crying out loud. Remember the good old days when nobody used redirects unnecessarily and links always worked?

That's the problem with uploading an original file to youtube it turns the original *.avi into flash. So when the original file got deleted ... I was pretty much out of luck. I'll check out your utility. Thanks. I've got most of my hikes in flash ... this could help in cleaning up the files. I was waiting for youtube to come up with something.

**turtle_tami** · 07-05-2008, 10:39

message to sasquatch this am he sent it to me eaither accedently or to both of us to let me know also where he is cause he knew i would forget lol..just to let you all know where he is at kinda

Pretty cool, if you know what you're doing. I like seeing snakes.

As a kid we used to catch green and black snakes. Had a buddy once catch a small copperhead, he kept messing with it till it bit him in the arm.

His forearm swoll up to the size of a football, his right hand is almost useless today.

I get the impression you're really enjoying this hike, keep on trucking Wrongway.

**wrongway_08** · 07-06-2008, 14:13

Wooooo Hooooo, having an awesome time, sitting at Sasquatch's right now. Going to BBQ and then hit the mall for some DEET - because the damn bugs are unforgiving out here!

What a great time we are having here, food, showers, food, sleep, showers, food, food, .......... relaxe, food

Should be heading north again Monday afternoon, will be camping around RPH Shelter that night. (plans changed and we got picked up 20 miles early then planned)

Well, you all have a great time, talk to you hopefully in the next town stop - maybe I'll have my June journal rewritten by then!!!

Take care, be safe,
- Rick

**sasquatch2014** · 07-07-2008, 16:45

Well after almost a full 48 hrs off trail Wrongway, Loveboat and Peanut are back on the trail just south of the RPH shelter in NY. Last night Ellie also joined us while hanging out at my place. They are fed, have clean clothes and showered. I am sure that it stayed that way for the first hour on the trail. Hot and humid today.

**turtle_tami** · 07-09-2008, 18:11

hey everyone* wrongway is somewhere in Connecticut right now hes really moving

**Survivor Dave** · 07-09-2008, 18:15

Uh Oh TT,

Wrongway put an entry in at Springer, but he forgot to sign his name. I think the ATC said something about starting over again

If he need a lift, I know someone good to take him.

Hope both of you are well,

SD
