Thanks for the terrific report. Too bad you had to deviate from your original plan but it seems you made the most of it and more, especially with the mushrooms.

Hey Rocky,
We definitely were not getting the kind of views you did during your trip: one of the hazards of CA summers in this era. But there still were enough highlights to keep me going back. I'm thinking some clever optical engineer needs to develop particulate filters to let us see through that gunk....the sooner the better! Cameron

I suppose VR goggles could work. And you could even do it from your couch at home and not have to worry about those pesky moths! :)
