BamaRider Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Went on a fascinating ride a few days ago, and instead of writing about it, and then y'all reading about it. I videoed and photographed the best segments, so all you gotta do is click on the link if you want to join in. Link to comment
Jake Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Nicely done, Guy. If Motorcyclist, Storyteller, Biographer, and lover of Geography, History, and Fellow Man could be wrapped up in one word, I suppose your picture would be right above it. Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 So, what happened to Camp Hill? Did a major industry shut down, or everybody just moved away? Any idea? It's truly a sad place. Nice job on the video, though! Link to comment
Francois_Dumas Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Guy, that was truly excellent and I think that I speak for many of us when I say 'WE WANT MORE!' I was right there with you.... But you won't come away with it THAT easy... I have a few questions !(yaya, ruddy foreigeners and all that.. <grin>). You said Camp Hill was a ghost town.... and it sure looked pretty deserted, but there were still a few people in the pictures, and some flags waving. So what made the people leave !!?? Secondly.... can you show a picture of how you have your camera set up for the riding videos? I love that stuff and one day will want to make some myself (the ONE day will be when I have money for a small videocam)... Thanks for sharing with us !!! François Link to comment

j4bberw0ck Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Excellent........ certainly adds a different dimension to reading about someone's ride. I really enjoyed it - thanks! (But living in a place where a hot summers' day is 75F I have no idea how you manage in biking gear at 90F) Link to comment
hophead Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Hey Bamarider you sure do talk funny. Seriously, excellent video I really enjoyed it. Give us somemore! Link to comment
Mik Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Bama, thanks for taking the time. What a nice work Link to comment
marcopolo Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I enjoyed that Guy, but hope it doesn't replace the narratives on your website. Link to comment
Jimbo RT Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Thanks for posting this. I love the old, abandonded towns of the south, there are hundreds of them. For many, the oil dried up; or a Wal Mart in the next town sucked all the business dry. Modern Ghost Towns are a favorite of mine. Nice video, and "Dust in the Wind", hilarious. Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Nice job Guy! Funny, I wake up this morning to watch your video and hear the theme music from The Great Escape. My wife and I just watched that last night!!! Very nice job. Thanks! Link to comment
USAF1 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Awesome.....that's gotta take some work to put all that together plus all the technical stuff to go with it all!! Thanks........... Pat Link to comment
