Hi Thomas....thank you so much for your kind words....finally have an internet connection here in Moab and am trying to catch up on emails....yikes....being gone for over a month takes its toll...but we're on our way home after a wonderful trip up to Canada (met with Laura Swan a fellow BPr and her husband Dale in Banff) had a wonderful time....fewer photos this time if you can believe....lol....and I used my point & shoot for many of them...especially on long hikes. Hope to post some when we return to Arizona....Thanks again and have a wonderful evening ahead! Regards.... #10799877
