    All I am eating tonight is a bowl of dehydrated soup and a handful of granola and hope to find some root veges to pick, or fruit, or maybe catch a rabbit tomorrow.  Goodnight mountain. Dreaming of blackberry bushes.

    Wow love those totums. LC4909, in this virtual world you can keep up for sure.  In the real world I can't even do 2 blocks without pain in the hips  so I am hiking these mountains, that is my story and I am sticking to it. LOL  Glad you can join me.

    this would be such a good place to go canoeing.

    If we ever get moved, I will scan some of the places we have visited.  We have some gorgous pictures but they are all in storage.

    Off we go to explore. Looks like some of us

    picked up some rafts instead of canoes. Water may get

    a little rough. Spar, thankfully you packed the lifejackets!

    that is beautiful Lisa, LC in spite of nearly dieing on a white water rafting trip, I will try to work up my courage and go for it on the rafting trip but I have to warn you stage IV rapids really scare me.

    There is so much peace and beauty in the mountains.  Blue water, huge mountains with snow and still beautiful colors of flowers in the brush.

    AlwaysHope here's a little something to wet your whistle.

    SoCalLisa--I think California has some of the most beautiful sights.

    We've been several times. One of our favorite places is at Ronald Reagan's Library.

    Up on the mountain with beautiful views. Have you been? I have tons of pictures from there.

    And of course, Laguna Beach..........whew---what beauty!!

    Due to the number of "Lisa's"on the boards, I changed my

    name and avatar.

    spar - hope the move is going well. I know you're EXHAUSTED!

    SoCalLisa - can't wait to see your New Year's pictures.

    Happy 2009 !!!
