h my. Didn't realize a smilie face would show up as a chicken dancing. A grin does. Pure smile of : ) comes out But for some reason, all the rest of the smilies on this site are weirder than you can imagine. Including what most of us think of as a frown/sad face, i.e. : ( coming out as :( This is the biggest complaint I have about our new forums, so I have to say Steve has done pretty well by us! You can add your own smileys, but I have no idea how.

This is the biggest complaint I have about our new forums I didn't realize there was an old forum. What happened to it? I guess the answer is somewhere in some forum posts. I'll go look.

There once was a fine forum full of good people and a healthy smattering of nutjobs. Then the was a period we call The Great Darkness - the Monkeys With Oven Mitts destroyed our ancestral home.
But lo, our Most Magnificent Moderator brought forth His Light, and led us unto this land, our new home, where we are once again free to eat Bacon while wearing Kilts.
In order to thank him, appease him, and venerate his great goodness, we aperiodically sacrifice a bottle of fine tequila.

I didn't realize there was an old forum. Old forum had a couple of renditions, almost never an improvement. We suffered long periods of adjustments, and then the very last edition nearly killed us off. It is no longer available, thank the ones above. While we lost major content with the move, this place is so much better than even the last 2 upgrades that we are done with complaining about lost history and are moving forward. Mod Steve, in some cases BP2Go, has done all of this on his own, with little to no remuneration. He can remove as much of this as he likes, but here is my opinion.He should sell what ads he can, keep the income for himself, and tell the Others to fly a kite. OK, rant off.

is that a Quarter Dome I see in the background Yep. I got a pretty good deal on it. I had gotten another tent from REI that was cheaper and heavier. When I was setting it up in the backyard a small D ring fell out of it. I figured that I'd take it back to exchange for another of the same tent. But, they were out. So they gave me the Quarter Dome instead. Over twice the price and half the weight of the one I wanted to exchange. I'm happy with that. Do you have one, Coolkat?

Thinking about you doing the next section and the possibility of you hiking to town again. Interesting idea. It may be an option. Thanks for the suggestion, zeke.

That's a cool way to hike the Arizona Trail DD. Very nice pic of a Mountain Bluebird too. Thanks, graywolf. That shade of blue really stood out. The guy kept posing just a few yards from us.

Nice to know the wind blows somewhere besides Wyoming. Maybe that's where the wind was coming from. It was down in the high twenty's and low thirty's at night. Sound like Wyoming-type weather.
