Celtfire,
Perhaps you should make a trip to Gold strike h.s. That place has a magical spirit to it. You will have to remove those rose colored glasses, however.
The great teachers first name was Paul.
Have you noticed Kodak stock is very low? I bought that camera on sale for 199$ not the 99$ mentioned above.
I put directions and updates to Gold strike canyon on the soak.net web site.
Maybe you could bring one of your sisters with you as I am better at translating with women. I'll translate to her and she can interpret for you.
There are some absolutely fantastic places to hike around g.s.h.s.
3 day weekend coming up.
Happy soaking.
