04 November 2011 - Mission: Voorhis

This past weekend, the G.I. Joe Search and Rescue team went out for a mission in Hayward, California.  Though we didn't find any hard evidence, we were definitely able to learn better how to work as a team and got some real team bonding going on.  Seriousness aside, here are some shots from the mission:

All of the photos were taken from my Kodak Playsport.  This little bugger survived quite the trip.  From mud, to rain, to a 1/2 kilometer slide down the side of a mountain, it still performs just as well as the first day.  Not to mention all of the hits it had to take from rocks and trees during climbs.  Battery life and all that is great, but let's keep that for another post.

This is the area we were working with.  Plenty of brush and lots of climbing to do.

Even as the clouds rolled in, we continued the search.

haha This is the infamous giant "Weiner Slug."

Charmander. :)

Salamander Friend.  :)

A quick lunch break after a 400 meter climb straight up the side of the mountain side at a minimum of a 45 degree incline.

Hours later, a quick break and regroup after sliding down the 400 meter mountain side.
