We were quite close, they seemed quite interested in us:

Allen Repashy was kind enough to allow us to use his house as kinda of a base camp and a place to crash out between the desert and San Diego, so here are a few pics of playing with Munsen:

On Sunday we took a ride up to La Hoya and checked out the beach, we then drove up to the cliffs where we all wanted to try hang-gliding, unfortunately it was a rather expensive so we took pics instead:

I had a fantastic time, and it was good meeting everyone, and seeing some west coast forum members. Huge thanks to Andrew and Sarah Giplin for letting me tag along, also another big thanks to Allen Repashy for sharing your house with us and letting me use your sofa. Also thanks to Matt Parks for sharing your rental car! Also big thanks to Jon Boone for arranging the Gekkoni Day Expo!

Thanks Derek
