John Chilese pics of NABX
Apparently John was out at Ivanpah yesterday taking pics (1100 :o ) that he is slowing culling out and posting to Picasa. He posted this info on
GoneWithTheWind, but I figured that some folks that don't frequent that forum wouldn't mind a heads up to the pics.
Uploads are still in progress, but the first batch can be found here:

Hey John,
Thanks big time for the great photo collection.
I'm feeling bad that I had to miss NABX this year.
Your photos help to ease the pain.
I won't miss next year.
Hope the good weather and winds continue for the entire event.
Pleasant Breezes,

Just got off the phone with Adam :D
Oh MAN is he having a blast!!!
Turns out, he's more happy with his Charger than ever... all he needed was a Dutch guy to set it correctly! He says all his tricks are dialed in
perfectly, and is doing more now than ever before. Winds are 22-25 mph, the Dutch landboarders are on 19m Chargers and Adam is on his 15. I thought a
thread would arise from this, because he told me he's in a trailer with John and some other Dutchys and John was playing photographer. He's stoked to
have met so many great guys and sends his regards to everyone who couldn't make it.
Cheers!

You guys are too funny!
