A picture view
| July 8, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
No laughing! At Mariposa in April (see post here), I took pictures from a spot in camp, 360 degrees, with the intention of trying to “stitch” them together in the computer.

Speaking of dealing with difficult people, I thought this might be an opportunity to promote my sister’s blog. My sister deals with them on a continuous basis and has a different strategy than I. She has recently updated her blog with some real winners. If you would like a bit of a laugh, I recommend […] more

With the excitement of the day recorded in Part 1, we can now move forward (or rather backwards) to the actual trail ride.
