I can't tell anyone where they're at, I promised. But I can tell you they taste just like chicken..We have a lot of hunters here and if I give the location they'll be hunting me too.

This is the truth I just got back from Cancun and took a lot of pictures. I liked this one, the iguanas were all over and all sizes.

I'm new on this site and have a lot to learn, just got a Sony Cybershot HX-9V. Reviews were good. I think I have a good eye for composition but technically I'm not too bright but am trying.

Wow - this is strange - We spent 5 yrs just 30 klm south of Cancun ( Puerto Morelos)before moving here - the first 5 yrs of our retirement. Waters was a whole lot warmer than CDL Lake LMAO never did this boy from the mountains ever think that would happen. Do you have photos to share from Talume, Coba or Chitza??

Sorry I don't, we never left the resort Valentin Imperial Maya. Granddaughter had her wedding there and we were very busy, especially with family and friends I hadn't seen in a long time. It certainly is beautiful there, I'd been there several yrs ago staying in Playa Del Carmen.

Hi, I agree summers are the best but if you blink a couple of times you might miss it. It's been cold most days, but summer is coming. I even sold my boat last year not enough days to use it and too much upkeep.

I lived most of my life in So. Calif and doubt I'll ever adjust to these winters. Photography just might help me get through the winter...

Bye

Those all inclusive 5 Star resorts are nice. Playa is so much better than Cancun with 5th street and the beach so handy to each other. I was lucky to live right between then 30 klm to each.
Did you ever take your boat up the St. Joe to St. Maries - a very wonderful trip - the St. Joe is the highest navagetable river in the world

Welcome to the Hog, great peeps here, enjoy the experience Ms Sparkle.

Photogenic area you live in, I was in Lewiston for a year or so biggest draw back was the awful smell from the paper mills.

If you get down that way again, stop by and visit the area I stay in when I'm down there. It's south of Cancun about 45 minute drive. It's called Akamul. Just a sleepy little fishing village when I first started going there. Now it's growing to the point that I don't know igf I want to go back. But it has the worlds all time BEST snorkelling lagoon. Just wondeful. Better than the Great Barrier Reef in my opinion.

By any chance did get a post card or historical photo of the "Old" Lewiston Grade" the miles of switchbacks leading down the mountain to the valley floor. What a trip that was back in the '50s.

That Lewiston Grade was my introduction to the mountainous northern Idaho. It was my first car trip from Coeur d' Alene to Moscow. How many curves per mile? I remember meeting semis on the steep narrow turns. Coming from "flat" Iowa farmlands, that was quite a geographic shock. (and I remember the stinky paper mill at the bottom too.)

If I remember right it was 7 to 10 mi and a switchback every couple hundred yards. '51 was our fist trip through Lewiston -and last too. LMAO WE found other roads more friendly to cars pulling a trailer.

To really grasp Wallace one needs to spend several days in the area - it is like the hub of a wheel - roads go out in all directions actual -one to the west - to Coeur d'Lene -one to the East to Mullen & Montana - one to the south Moon Pass Road to Avery & the ST Joe River, two to the north one to Pritchard, Murry and the Coeru d'Laene river where you can go west to Coeur d'Lene or East to Thompson Falls, Montana the other northward road goes to the Historical and now ghost town of Burk - then on over into Montana. Burk had the Historical Pride of being the NARROWEST town in the world - the train, river and hwy ran through the lobby of the Taylor Hotel in one lane.

Well thank you, I am getting excited to do well and this site is fabulous. Just have to figure out the camera, not having instruction in hand is a pain. Some info on the web is not correct and calling Sony can be frustrating as sometimes it's hard to understand but I am going to keep at it.
Bye
