Note: The images below (once expanded by clicking the thumbnails) are the original full size images although your browser may be set to automatically scale the image size to fit your screen. For SOME pictures it is better to see them in full resolution. For others the pictures are just too huge. Someday I might resize them to a happy medium.
To view them in full resolution either adjust your browser settings or save the image to your computer and view it with an image program.

To view images in full size using Internet Explorer do the following:

Open the *Tools* pull down menu
Select *Internet Options*
Click on the *Advanced* tab
Scroll down to *Multimedia*
De-select (uncheck) the box called "Enable Automatic Image Resizing"
Click *Apply* and then *OK*

In later versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer you can simply left click alternately on the image to toggle between full size and scaled size. That way you can just toggle back and forth between the scaled size and the full size with a mouse click.

The following pictures include the almost week long tailgate adventure on the islands of Oahu and Hawai'i prior to the Hawaii Bowl. I would have had more pictures, but most of my sightseeing was captured with a camcorder on this trip. I reduced the size of each photo by 50% so they should be a bit more manageable than the above photos.

Upgraded MOAT tailgate rig. This has a little bit of everything. It will someday have a successor with tandem axels, but with the short ride to BHNS it should do the trick for a while.
