    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Random Photo thread

Great shot Glen, frost and ice make a wonderful subject. It's amazing what lay around the next corner.

Thanks Dave and Glen. Dave, you of anyone would appreciate the 10 day, 120 mile paddle through the middle of the previous picture.

It must have been an awesome trip in that valley at an average of 12 miles a day, downstream. Looks like, if the light line at the far shore is a level beach, there might have been some great tent sites. Cooler and folding chairs? :)

I read somewhere an insightful statement that went something like 'sometimes we don't need new places, we need new eyes'

True. I often get sucked into details when the big picture doesn?t work. I've been doing photo walks around the reservior since last June and while the big picture is always similar the details are ever changing.

This morning?s pic is in the short list of possible entries for the winter photo contest.

We did it twice, 2000 and 2002. Yeah cooler, lawn chairs and because we were in a national park had to share carrying a porta pottie with our paddling partners. Spent half the day drifting/paddling and half exploring side canyons, etc. If I was to do it again we'd paddle longer days and then camp 2 nights rather than breaking camp every day.

I've never ever seen or heard of that. Nature is truly bizarre at times.
 
70 Challenger by Scott Marvin, on Flickr

I have had this drawing for 45 years or so, A guy I went to school with gave it to me. A "Ratfink" style homage to my first car, a 1970 Challenger SE.
 
Since I've been working from home for a while and it looks like I'm gonna be here a lot longer, I remodeled my home office at the end of the year.

Anyway, as part of the process, I'm covering the walls with photos of family, friends, and of course lots of motorcycle stuff.

By the way, I also discovered that Costco can print photos up to 20"x30" dirt cheap. Just in time for them to discontinue the service... story of my life. They're closing the photo centers in February, but I can still order prints and posters for delivery.


Anyway, I had a nice print made of my KLR atop a mountain near the Cherohala Skyway from a dual-sport ride in 2015. I think this is Whigg Meadow.


I didn't quite understand Scott's posture there in the background until I looked closely...

Check to see if there are any real deal photo labs around. We have one that has managed to stay in business by doing commercial work, but they still do small stuff as well. I?ve been getting occasional 8x10s made for less then $3 each depending on the paper.

I am limited to 13"x19" with my printer. (But I so want a 24" wide, roll capable printer....sigh...)
Printing is a lot of fun, with lots to learn. So many options in paper....
