This was sent to me from a friend. I thought it very appropriate to post here for this community to share. Post to comments if you remember playing this game. I remember having to wait days for a seat at the one green screen apple computer in my elementary schools library back in '85 to play this "educational" game. Without further ado:

NO SON OF MINE PLAYS OREGON TRAIL LIKE THIS

NO SON OF MINE PLAYS OREGON TRAIL LIKE THIS

Today I decided on an “active” rest day. My “active” part involved a little run to the highest point on the northern area of Camp Pendleton. It was probably the most awesome little journey I have ever done. It took me a little less than an hour to get all the way to the top, mainly due to me stopping to take pictures. Here is a little photo-documentary of my journey.


Here is the camp that I work with as I start up the trails that will lead me to the top.

Are there any members of 2O2P playing the EVE Online MMORPG? I am currently on the 14 day free trial and I am really enjoying it so far. Alot different and much more unique than most grind and camp MMO's out there. If you are playing EVE Online, shoot me a message. I'm looking for 2O2P people to play with.

If you havent heard of it, check it out. It's a sci-fi MMORPG in space. Click here for their website.

On a side note I hope everyone had a great holiday and enjoyed bringing in 2009. Gonna be a great year!

 ...I got a Mac. 

Yep. I'm still trying to figure out the OS and all the bells and whistles. Got my music, pictures, and necessities transferred from the PC and figured out how to network the printer. Got Safari all bookmarked for easy navigation and am really digging the "clean and simple" feel of it.
