There is so much to capture ... and I don't want to forget some of those little special experiences I'm having during our travels.

Pig War! ( or all the other stuff we did in the San Juans)
A Preface First, an apology. I thought I had published the Part One of our San Juan visit, but apparently had only saved it in draft form.
