winching out of Palm Creek, the Runva 9500 winch is quick and strong, a great winch.

It feels a little like a wake party... images of when your faithful 150 was young and strong. May she RIP and all her salvageable bits go to good causes

Some scenes of Nolans Crossing with the Prado drowning

Derek,
Very sad to see such a well set-up 150 sitting there in deep (Jesus that's deep) water, I would have been stressing my head off in this situation. It's great to read that you continued the trip and have focused now on the positives of a new 4b, we will never forget you "drowned 150 Graphite".
R.I.P

I've seen the video's of our drowning last week and what happened was the ass end floated, and the front end was churning forward. If you look at the photos that is about the limit in height for water for the Prado, at Nolan's with the dive in we couldn't create a bow wave, I hope that all who try this crossing have a back up plan in place before you try.Blue Storm 150 GXL 4D4 PRADO and 2014 Cub Brumby Camper My rig build [url]http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?25698-Derek11-s-2012-Blue-Storm-150-GXL-build-up[/url]Comment

Hi Derek, I lost my 150 in nolans last August ( see my post "nightmare at nolans"). I hope your insurance company looks after you as well as mine did me. I can tell you a new Prado dulls the pain cinsiderably.

Derek,
Best be is to upload it to YouTube and then put the link on the forum, if you do not have an account I would be happy to do it for you.
PM me if you would like me to do so, and I will send FTP server address and access for you to download to me (depending on size).
Best regards
