Phew!

Anyway, thought I'd say hello.

I made a BMT slideshow that I am burning to DVD.

I also made a lo-res version for YouTube:

It was a great trip indeed! I love it! As for the sign. Heh. Other people said similar.

They are harmless..until you turn your back and they grab your food!

The marmots are very common in the high alpine terrain of Colorado.

Women..depends on my appearance on a given day.
