Thanks Darin, it's good to be missed. It's been a long miserable summer, illness, broken toe, (I'm a klutz) then to top it all off, our 13 year old Schnauzer, Bailey, had to be put to sleep.
I'm afraid ghost towning took a back seat. Now that the temperatures are cooling, we hope to hit the trails again.

Aaaahhh!!! That's a true shame...

Sorry to hear of your troubles Laura; I am glad to see you back on here. And I'm very sorry to hear about Bailey; our 15-year-old Pit Bull (Curly) had to be put down earlier this year as well... he couldn't even hold himself up or stand anymore, poor guy!

Glad to see you're still alive and kickn' Laura

Maybe I should drive over there and see?

Glad you found it when you did. "reclaimed by the forest service" Yah right. Who'd they reclaim it from? Thanx for the links. I'll have to go read the adventure.

Just stop to say hello! Laura. Only on internet about 6 or 8 times a month we hope to be on more often when winter keeps us inside.

BTW, YOU'RE WELCOME, since you never bothered to let us know how close or how far off we were with our suggestions....

Sadly, the filmmakers I know, this is par for the course... take take take & GIMME MOAR!!!

Hm!
