Hi Petra. It's been a few years, but I think I've been up to that Black Mountain area? Isn't there a winding road, with steep drop offs? If so, and his driving is as bad as you say, I don't blame you. Sorry Don, I wouldn't do it either. ;) If I wanted to die, I'd just get in a car with my daughter. ;) That's how I got this bad back in the first place.

But, now that I am armed with more knowledge then before, I might take a trip up there myself. I like my driving. ;) And, I thank people like Don, and Petra and Canie for that knowledge. :)

I've been wanting to check out Lassen, and Burney, etc. I'll see how things are going as July gets closer?

Mel and I are heading to the Iris festival in Oregon next month. Hopefully. Any recomendations on areas to check out? I'm hoping to see Newberry (sp?) area?

Bye for now.
