These pictures are awesome! Thank you so much for taking them and sharing them. 

Nomad

Ditto!
If anyone can add a caption or two and identify people it'd be gratefully appreciated but we heard you were a really wild crew so we'll understand annomity :-)

It's a well known fact that TAG/TAB/TADAs are housing options provided by the Federal government to those in the Witness Protection Program. They are also favorites used by individuals Running From The Law (i.e. "On The Lamb"). Therefore, only Forum names should be used with the photos.

A HUGE shout-out to Cindy for helping to plan, organize and facilitate the event. She did so much "behind the scenes." We all owe her a lot! Thanks also to MaryVan and others for contributing to the Saturday dinner with their wine and food!  The last minute "Home Tour" suggested by Judy was the highlight of the event. It was amazing to see the mods and customization made by the attendees. What a creative/fun group of people (while running from the law and all).

Can someone post the official list of who won which awards?

So much thanks to Frank and Cindy for a great event and such fun!!!! We met so many wonderful people and being newbies (got our tab in Dec) we are filled with ideas. Just you all wait until next year! For the record we won "move along nothing to see here" for least (none) mods in a T@B) PitPat thanks for hosting last nights gathering. We can't say enough to all. We hopefully will be seeing you all somewhere along the way. Until Tabazona 2017!

Here is a summary of the "Top Banana" awards given out on Saturday (I'm going from memory here, so please excuse any mistakes):

"Nicest Person to Hang Out With" (Allie)

"Nicest Couple to Hang Out With" (John and Judy)

"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" [just happened to show up not knowing about T@Bazona] (Bob and Patty)

"Best TAB Likely to Survive a Natural Disaster" [best equipped trailer and TV.  FEMA would be proud] (Verna)

It looks WONDERFUL and I'm so sorry I had to miss it.  Just too chaotic here for me, but I am finally in Tucson and getting my new home's interior painted and new floors installed.  I am SOOOO looking forward to camping at TABAZONA 2017  Thanks for putting forth this effort, Outback Frank.

Here is a quick video I made with my quadcopter. It is a bit choppy due to slowing down the video in order to actually see what was recorded! You can actually see most of the T@Bs that made it. Enjoy!

Cool - So are you one of those 80,000 that have registered their drones with the FAA already?

larrygon

Nope, it is below the 250 gram limit.

Larry-that is awesome.

More pics will be posted this weekend after I get them organized.

We again would like to thank Outback Frank for arranging this event, you energy and enthusiasm make it so much fun. We have some picts to add to the group, hopefully I can figure out how to do it.

The pictures I posted were of the the lake, the burros around camp, dinner at Dillon's and Cindy wrapped in Franks quilt when she got cold.

Good shots. Also me on Frank's Segway. Such fun. 

Allie

It's gonna take a million years for the photos I have to download because of size.  Any suggestions how I can reduce them on a MAC?  Not really photo say.

Tabaz

Allie:  Here's what works on a PC:  Copy a photo from your phone/camera onto your desktop.  Once pasted on the desktop, select "edit" then "resize," and "Pixels."  I usually type in "300" for the top pixel (the bottom one fills in automatically).  Important to now save the resized photo.  Come back here to the forum and select the "attach image/file" icon and find the photo on the desktop.  Not sure how much of this is applicable to a MAC, but it might get you going in the right direction.  BTW, I know of another MAC user who has a lot of difficulty with this forum.

Nomad

Since you asked specifically for Mac - Do you have an iPhone or iPad also? If so, I find a little app called "Crop-Size" to work the best. Some of the resize utilities I've tried degrad the quality which drives me crazy. I keep my high-res photos on the Mac, copy the ones I want to resize onto my iPad and post to the forum from it. I used to do it all on the Mac but I'd end up with all these one-off sizes just confusing things. Once I've put them to the forum, I delete them from my iPad.
If no iPad, let us know and I'll see what I can find for the Mac.

An Aside: A great little app for copying/transfering images back-n-forth between iDevices and Mac is an app called "PhotoSync"

cbarnhill

Allie: I wouldn't try to download a lot of them. Just pick one or two good ones. I just use the icon above (one with the page corner turned down) and it lets you pick a picture from your photo library) it takes a while for it to appear. Good luck.
