Saw pics up on Facebook. Hope there is one next year. You can count me in. Looks like a really great time.
Indeed there will be one next year....it will be the 10TH!!!!!! Going to be awesome
 
Alarm went off at 4 am to go to work.
That's hard even for me. Alarms suck. Schedules suck.
 
Had a great time as usual! Sucks to be back at the grind but got to make the money to play. Went thru my go pro video last night and I need to rain x my case lens. The dreaded water spots hurt some of my video. We will post up our pics later. I think we had something like 596 pictures.

Hey all, I did download many pics off of the Facebook group, photo sharing sites like flicker, and this website last year. However, Facebook does reduce the resolution of the photos (which affect the video quality) and I can't bulk download from other people's accounts usually on photo sharing websites. After you all unpack, if you have some favorite photos and video from the event, I'd love it if you could share it directly with me.

For 1- 10 photos e-mail usually works: Flatlander1200@yahoo.com
More than 10 photos and/or some fun video clips: Old school USPS works on a CD/memory stick. PM me for my home address.

I'll work on putting up a shared folder somewhere as a 3rd option.

I truly appreciate all your help. Last year very few people send me stuff directly which meant I had to hunt around for a lot of it. Half the fun of this event is reliving all the memories and repackaging them to share again with you all.

Back to work...Re-entry to the real world is a bear!
 
Ok Jeff thanks ! I will edit my post and we will use the Facebook site for everyone sharing photos and do any of the options you suggested above for you creating the video.

@007, @jcyamahariders wife - I created a public media album here on jetboaters.net. All site members can load photos there. It will allow you to browse your computer or phone and select multiple files to upload a the same time. Try it out and let me know if it works.

Click "Shelbyville Gathering 2016" to access it.
