We did not have fires close to use last summer/fall, so we do not have the threat of mudslides.

I walked around on them and could not believe anyone would cross and ocean in something so small. since I am and always have been afraid of water and anything that float on it,the thought of these small sturdy ships tossing around in the waves still gives me shivers. love all the shots of the two brave mariners.MadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-29258008433815855142010-01-21T13:45:06.873-06:002010-01-21T13:45:06.873-06:00OT but...
