Very nice series and commentary!

Thanks-again-for the great replies. It's been fun going through these pix and "re-living" the memories of the trips. I didn't make it to the Rathole this Spring-got caught up photographing the black bears emerging from hibernation, over in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I WILL be back to the ol' CNO&TP line this Fall-can hardly wait!
