Someone should start a chain immediately. Why should they stay happy? I must admit that your yen to visit Oz struck me as strange considering that we can't get you to visit the PNW; a place you could actually drive to!!! Of course we don't have any youthful memories you can tap into visiting up here so perhaps that explains it. She really *did* get close to that sea lion, didn't she? Nice photos. Good on ya!

Of course, back then there were still real saber tooth tigers running around but it was still a place that remains vivid in my memory. That and their buckboard filled with flowers in the front yard of their little stucco house. And the sunshine (pre smog). cj *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
