I would like to know what kind of software you used to capture the Google Earth tour. I am having trouble capturing video using freeware software like oRipa screen recorded.

Thanks.

Nice job with the narration and views, and an impressive backpack trip. Did you use a GPS to pinpoint your campsites on the map, or eyeball them?

Back in about 77 I was a junior in high school in Portland. For some strange reason my parents let me and a friend of mine back pack for, gulp.., three weeks through the Eagle Cap area.

We had friends bring in extra supplies to last the extra two weeks we were there.

To say I will never forget that experience is an extreme understatement.

That long that far back I will call it a spiritual experience really.

I now live in Florida and it sucks.

I really miss the Rainy and cold Oregon!
