You're welcome.

Thanks, Carol.

Thanks, Joe. It is very photogenic. It's on a small island that you can get to by wading along a causeway or you can take a horse-drawn cart. The grounds are beautiful. The building exteriors are in good shape. The tower is open for climbing but only on the weekend because they don't have enough volunteers to staff it during the week. This aso means that the interior restoration work is a slow process.

Thanks, Earnest

Thanks, Frank.

It's in the process of being fixed up. It's expensive and it's being funded by donations to the couthy historical society.

This lighthouse is located on the east shore of Door County Wisconsin and just north of Baileys Harbor. The buildings and tower were made of cream city brick but the weathering of the tower required that it be clad in steel plates.

Mike,

I always like to see your pictures. These are very nice ones from one my favorite places to visit.

If one looks carefully at the two pictures of the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone, one can see people standing at the brink of the falls. It gives some sense of the immenseness of the falls. The hike down to the brink is not very difficult and the feeling you get standing there is fantastic.

Thanks, David. I've always enjoyed your pictures.

Recently, my wife acquired a new computer. We have a Western Digital back up device (MyCloud) that we have been using successfully to make synchronous backups of our data. This has been through a program from WD called WDSync. When I went to the WD web site to download a version for the new computer, I discovered that they no longer produce it but referred me to the GoodSync site for a program called WD GoodSync. It seems to work well, only a couple of weeks of experience.

I decided that it would be a good idea to use the same program on all of our computers. Mistakenly, I downloaded the regular version of GoodSync onto our backup/travel computer and discovered that it can do lots more than the WD version, which is just a replacement for WDSync. It appears that the WDSync replacement (WD GoodSync) is free but that the regular version is free with certain significant restrictions.

Do any of you have experience with GoodSync? Any comments or suggestions? Is the paid version worth it?

Thanks in advance.

Be careful in planning this. This is, indeed, the most striking way enter the park. The pass is only guaranteed to be open between Memorial Day and Labor Day. I have been snowed-in in Cooke City in the middle of August. Several years ago, we went that way I July to introduce our daughter to the park. We ask at the Little Big Horn Battlefield if they know if the pass was open. They had no idea. We asked in Billings, the same answer. We checked again in Red Lodge. They said drive up the road and see if the gate as closed. We did and it was. We drove the back roads to the Gardner entrance.

We came through the Beartooth Pass on the way home but that direction does not give same sense of grandeur.

This road (US 212) was originally constructed be the CCC during the depression. I learned to mountain drive on it. My father and I were driving to pick up my grandmother for a visit and the best path was over the pass. I had just gotten my license and, when we got to the car, my father handed me the keys and said, "Here, you drive." The drive then was much more challenging than now. The road was narrower with few guard rails and almost no shoulder.

Blair, thanks for looking.
