2004 Gallery: Durango, Colorado
A GORC Vacation of Epic
Proportions
July 31 - August 7, 2004
In this gallery, you may witness with your own eyes, the very beauty of Durango, Colorado. You may feel sorry for yourself for not coming out with the GORC posse.
Bryan Adams, Stephanie Adams, John Donjoian, Scott Whitaker, Matt Hayes, Mike Donais, Tom Erb and Doug Wright had a blast for an entire week in the mountains of Colorado.
Matt bought a cheap 3.1 megapixel camera for $95.00 at Target the day before leaving so he could catalog the trip. It didn't take terrific photos (some are unfocused, others are washed out) but he is happy with his inexpensive spy camera. Bryan and Tom will be submitting their photos soon and I'll get more up as soon as possible. Below are some pictures of the spy cam - note the size of the playstation controller next to it.
