The cross-processed shots I've done all used E6 film, processed as C41 and printed. I either have them scan the negatives, or I scan the prints or negatives myself. I get great results when I have my local camera shop do the scanning; decent when I do it; crummy when CVS does it, but that's cheaper than the camera shop and allows me to be lazy about it, or get things processed at times when the camera shop is closed.

I can sympathize with your plight of bad scanning from the drugstore photo labs. They're cheaper but do a bad job usually. Still, it looks like everyone had a lot of fun despite the ridiculous conditions (hiking, in snow, in winter? Nuts, I tell ya!). Hey, I meant to ask you - what format of slide film were you using? I know that you said that you cross-processed it, but did you use C-41 process slide film and just have it printed like a normal picture, or did you actually get a different process slide film and have it done (such as E6 process film)?
