Thanks for sharing them!

So thank you for that.

Positively kickass post, hunk!  I've been to Caribou and Rutland, it's cool to see those pics.

Since it is baseball season let me say that when you post
you often have the courage to swing for the fences. So that
when you miss you end up looking off balance and a little foolish.

But when you hit one right; it is a home run.
This one is a grand slam!!!!!!

Thank you,
Outlier
