Ya know, if Fred had posted this thread before Ken announced the site being sold, no body would have even noticed Ken's post now would they?

I think you refer to The Spanish INQUISITION!

Yep, that Southwest U.S. peyote musta been pretty good.

Speaking of the Aquisition....The site seems incredibly slow today. Price of progress I guess.

WOW - that is beautiful, I had heard great things about Glacier National Park (as well as Yosemite, which I didn't make it to either).

Both I want to do next time around.

One of the most scenic is Mt. Rainier National Park here in WA.
I took this picture in 2005. When I arrived it was at the peak of spring bloom and the fields were covered with wildflowers.

Here's the rest of some good pictures taken that weekend.

Tim I'm surprised to hear about the server, I thought it was up and running.

Dan,
They are real nice shots!!!

Come to think of it... I have a feeling I saw your rig on the 30th of June on I-40, heading east near Seligman... early afternoon sometime.

I remember seeing it (I was heading west), would have turned around and had a coffee with you, but I was pressed for time, and no doubt you were too.
I wrote it down in my book, because it looked like your truck and fiver (and they look distinctive), but wasn't sure.
Was it?
