Here's something for those of you in cold climes - photos of our = campsite on north Padre Island over the Thanksgiving weekend. We started off a bit coolish on Thanksgiving day, but clouds on the = horizon dissipated as time rolled on. May have been as cool as 45 = overnight, but up to mid-70s by the time we took out. Gulf Coast Texas - not a bad place to be in "winter".

You cannot send images to this list. You can announce you have photos and will send them to anyone interested or, better yet, provide a URL where folks here can view the photos on the web. If you don't have a website, I'll be happy to temporarily post the photos for you on the PaddleWise website and let folks know where to find them.

Myself ? ...I don't even like to reach "w-a-a-a-y" down in that ice chest for one of the last brewskis ....I suppose my loath of cold weather goes back to military days when in typical fashion I was sent to 6 weeks of cold weather training in Fallon, NV. Temps never above -15 F and 6 foot deep runways in the ice and snow to walk around in. God forsaken wind down your collar "26" hours a day when out of that 'rat maze'. All that good cold weather training came to naught when about 45 days later I was exported toward DaNang for an extended hiking-camping trip in the bush of a not-so-friendly little country in southeast Asia. Go figure. I'll stick to these 3 week Louisiana winters thank ya very much. B-r-r-r-r-r ...somebody reach in there and hand me another cold beer, will ya ? ...adieu ...Peyton (Louisiana) ___________________________________________________________________ Why pay more to get Web access?
