The first 5 posts will be newly posted even if the photos are from a past trip or event. I have many to post and don’t get them done in order of time. This site was inactive and not working for some time but while sitting around the house for many days during the covid19 sit in, I fixed up the pages and started up again. After about 5 or so ‘new’ posts I will be changing the date of the older ones to be the date when it actually happened compared to when the date of posting is. Selectable categories are on the right, or specific trips are selectable in the tabs above.
