Barb-
Those are incredible. I love the scenery. How long do you think it will take to get that grime off the side of Elwood?

glasseye I did not see any other bus folks up there. I left messages at every visitor center with my cell phone and itenary , even thou there was no cell service. At the circle marker on the 21st there was a lone motorcyclist and a small camper with a couple ( the man was kind enough to get out and take my picture) the mozzies were really thick and even the locals from the Eagle Plains Oasis that had planned a party there that eve. Had to call it off because of them. I spent about 30 min just feeling the earth and looking at the view. It was a wonderfull feeling of accomplisment. Hope others will do it next year. B/E

Well that was a unexpected reply. I was certainly not in a contest with any one but myself. May I quote you in my book?

Thank you for the compliments on the "Shots" coming from you as a pro it was well received. As you do know, your country is vastly beautifull and I found my abilities so very short. But in my mind and heart they were and will always be spectacacular (sp). Thank You for the kind reply, Barb
