    Nice shot of the Big Horn Sheep. All I saw of them was the road signs. :cry
    It was great to meet you. Have fun shooting the Hocking Hills / Wayne National forest in southern Ohio.

    Thank you all for your kind comments. I'm still sorting through my photos and downloading CF cards.

    Joel and Aaron (AZ boyz),
    It was great to finally meet you. I'll be looking you up on my next AZ trip!!

    jdryan3,
    It was great to meet you too. Looks like my trip to OH has been pushed back to 11/14. I'll drop you a PM as that date approaches.

    Ed, Sam & Aaron,

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Ed, we missed you and the family on the trip. I hope you're considering making the cross country trip to Maine next year.

    Aaron, there's more music quotes where that Dokken line came from. :D

    Are you talking about the 2007 Glacier trip that you are just now working on? :D

    I saw some of your shots from the trip and your panos put my shots to shame. I can't wait to see the rest of them when they make it to Dgrin in 4 to 5 months. rolleyes1.gif
