Starvin, I can't take credit for most of the pics, most of them were WFPs. I try if possible to make my pictures for the web a standard 640 x 480 pixels. Sometimes that is not the best fit, but as a general rule that works. And the pics that WFP had already loaded on his trip report, if you read that, you probably were looking at the cache memory of them and that is why they loaded so quickly.
Actually, again..... off topic, but Naitram did a lot of changes to the web that are most wonderful memory savers and is probably helping you out a lot with your dial up connection. As a web analyst I am amazed that more forum builders are not more cognisant of the need to build your site for the lowest possible denominator. After all, it is all about the content.
For a brief period I had free internet connection on my cell phone, and I would look at this site. Man oh Man! There was an enormous amount of redundant memory hogging things that used to be here, that Naitram has slimmed down. He did a very good job on the redo of this site.
We talked with a couple of people from the North this week and everyone is saying the riding season is about done. But with electric clothes can't you ride till the snow starts to be on the roads full time? Wow, this is a Saskatchewan girl saying this? Maybe you can indeed pull the North out of a person if they are gone long enough. I left Saskatchewan, the week between Christmas and New Year in 1996, it was cold, 56 degrees below zero, we measured in fahrenheit back then and with the wind chill it was in the minus 70s. The tires on the cab that I took to the train station were square. The brakes on the train kept freezing at night and my train arrived in Vancouver several hours late. Yeah! Have never wanted to live in that extreme again. My hat off to you.
