Where are the pictures and trip descriptions from the 2012 Lone Pine Run? From the Show & Shine it appears that there were a few more people and Buggies there than have been posted here, so what's going on?

Those of us that could not attend are interested in what happened and what the Runs were like for those that got to play in the dirt, snow and etc?
Thanks,

Bob

Look at this thread for Lone Pine reports:

DIESELDOOG,

Thanks for the response and pointing to the Original "2012 Lone Pine Run" Post, also in this Trip Section, I
saw that post and other than a very well done report on the Run by Ed Chenal with
written descriptions and pictures from the various runs, there is
nothing other than others thanking Ed for his report. I was wondering if any other Reports on this latest Club Run were
being posted elsewhere, but I have not seen any info posted on any site
other than the one that Ed was kind enough to post here.

So my
question is still, was Ed the only Member in attendance
and what happened to any other Reports from Members that were there, and
if they were posted on another location, website, Facebook or?

Please
understand that there are a lot of us that for one reason or another
were not able to attend this Manx Club Run and some more information
about what and where the groups went, what they found and what worked
and what broke would be a welcome addition to the Run. So that those of
us that were unable to attend, knew if we wanted to prepare for that Run
in the future or go on a different Manx Club Event.

Thanks and
again not complaining, just trying to see if the Run info was posted
elsewhere, so myself and others could find it and see what happened
during the Run.

Bob

I understand your question. I too was looking forward to photos of those who took the other run on Saturday which encompassed Lone Pine and the Alabama Hills.
Maybe this will encourage someone to post some photos.

Many people are having lots of trouble posting to the Manx Club forum. This is the first time I've been able to post in months. I think that is the reason there is not much going on in the forum - about anything. I cannot post when on Internet Explorer, but have changed to Firefox and am able to respond (finally!). Bob Hunter was going to look into this, but most are using Facebook to make their comments until this is fixed.

Weather was very cold on Saturday, but no rain. We did the buggy-x (and won!), the buggy rally (like a scavenger hunt for clues), and the teeter/totter & poker run. On Sunday, we all went out to Alabama Hills via the road to Mt Whitney Portal (which was closed right at the entrance to Hogback Trail). Sunday ended up warm and gorgeous.

I didn't take many pictures - will try to post them, but haven't had much luck with that at all the last few times I was able to post.

Nope - no joy with the pictures - sorry.

Try viewing them in Photobucket - it's very time consuming to upload, but there are about 15 here if you follow this link (you may have to copy and paste to your browser if you can't click it):

For some reason the slide show shows in reverse order - go figure!

yes, Connie is right about posting on here and Lone Pine being cold and windy. I have been trying to post on here but couldnt seemed to do anything until I downloaded Firefox and opened a new account on Yuku. I asked the forum moderators to look into this but I dont think its fixed yet. If this post stays on the forums, I will give you a short story but with no pictures

yeah, it worked but I had to wait 1 minute before I could post this. Im really starting to not like this platform.

Ed, Connie and BuggyBob,

Thanks for the explanations, descriptions and pics.

Again it was not a complaint, just trying to find where there was info from the Lone Pine Run.

Thanks for your help and answers to why there was limited Run information being posted,

Bob
