Dupre came through and emailed me from the plane - he's so high tech. Anyway, if you want to watch Ginny's race go here for online live coverage. She is in the AWAD or age group race, my reading of it says it will be on at 10:15pm Pacific Time on Sat night, the race is at 7:15 Sunday German time. Her full name is Virginia Turner and they should post her number closer to the race. Go Ginny!

We're still running around like chickens trying to get it together to leave this weekend. Heh! I can't even begin to explain, even to myself, how it is soooo hard to leave somewhere that we have been more than a couple weeks. Sheeze! You'd think we were heading for some other planet never to return. It has nothing to do with whether we don't want to leave or we want to leave... nothing. I'm ready to leave, I want to be in Mexico really badly, I miss it actually. All that is irrelevant, it's just packing the stuff up, finishing up the 'to do' list, finding a ton of stuff that should have been on the 'to do' list but never made it, deciding whether any of that stuff is something we need to delay leaving for, argh!

We had a lunar eclipse a few nights ago. I got out the tripod and took some pictures.

The real result was that I went out and bought a new tripod tonight, hopefully it won't give me fits in the dark.

I rather like this last shot that I took before I realized I had the UV filter on the camera.

You're leaving for Mexico this weekend? Rats! We're leaving Casper, WY in a couple hours and should be passing through your area in a week & a half. We were hoping to stop in and see you two on the way to Riverside. Oh well, next year. ;^)

The moon photos are great. I loved watching it the other night. The skies here in Wyoming are just made for star gazing. We'll be camped out in the mountains tonight near Jackson Hole so don't know if we can pick up Ginny's race or not. We wish her good luck. You all must be very proud. That is such an accomplishment.

You guys have a good trip!

I remember the skies in Wyoming, incredible! I'll bet the eclipse was set in a blaze of stars there.

Sorry to miss you, we've just got to get going. We've dawdled around here for over 4 months, almost everything is done that we needed to do and there are lots of things waiting for us to do in Mexico.

We'll have to make sure we can hook up in the spring. We'll be going to the Escapade in Wyoming next summer too.
