Very interesting view...

Nice, but it's got nothing on 1640:50...

Now I get it...

Many nights I like to talk to the folks living on the power pole, Often we have to be quiet afraid others are listening

And one day they ask about the cave and if I thought we would every see the other image I said if we tippy tippy toe.

The trick is to not return to the cave and try to explain. (Which reminds me---it's time for my hemlock tea...)

How could one not enjoy a cup with life long friends before the next passage.

One day I would like to climb that tree and join the ravens for happy hour. But it would be past my bedtime.

Doug has Ansel Adams operating the webcam today.

Not today he went back north to redo the cow shot often I am corrected it isn't a cow it's a horse.
Many may not be aware of all his work at Manzanar and the location where he took the sierra photos (I think Mount Williamson was one)
I just finished a long bike ride about 2 miles just like Richard but I don't know how long you can ride without your thumb giving out.

I thought I had burnt the motor out going to the Portals several years ago but found it was a safety lock on the brakes ( never disconnect the wires going to the brakes ) When the pads get thin the brakes send a signal to shut the motor down.

If you rode a bike when you were young and haven't ridden for years give it try. I am always amazed how those early days of bike riding flash back l

Oh my brother and I have at least 56 bikes to sale. Some have tires and new pads. My best is the old person road bike I adjusted with a fat seat and handle bars up right so you don't kink your neck and can wear sailor shoes and use the thumb bell . And added another 17 gears for hill climbing.

I wish old Ansel had taken some shots of Irene Kritz. She's always been very photogenic.

Some of the numbnut manufacturers have started putting the Thumb Throttle Control on the left side...like that's going to solve the thumb pain problem...I've sent more than a few notes saying we want Twist Throttles...!!! With a weak spring...I can put a Crampbuster on a twist throttle...

I can see that Williamson Photo without seeing it,,,
