Sounds wonderful........ : ) Coee and I spent the holiday weekend at Ft. Stevens State Park, on the Oregon Coast. The weather was great. Not much below 50, I don't think. Didn't rain after Thursday night. A most agreeable Thanksgiving Camping trip (our 5th). Hugs, Ellen Lola, '85 Vanagon ASI (still with a 1.9) Coee, Camping Cat Extraordinaire "We should not seek revenge on those who have committed crimes against us, or reply to their crimes with other crimes. We should reflect that by the law of karma, they are in danger of lowly and miserable lives to come, and that our duty to them, as to every being, is to help them to rise towards Nirvana, rather than let them sink to lower levels of rebirth. - His Holiness the Dalai Lama"
