Nope, just Mrs. Raven. I couldn't believe how long she stayed on that log, just above my head, while I got my camera out and took the picture.

Ack, I hate it when you guys reply to threads without quoting them. I guess you are using the threaded view, which if I could eliminate anything from forums, it would be that damn format! How can it NOT be easy to simply view it in linear, chronological order??

Yes, the multiple photos is annoying, but I hate having to click, and click and click to see all the new posts in threaded view.Quote

Non-thread view shouldn't even be an option. No need to quote somebody... just hit the darn reply button.
And follow the conversation.
I used to think the same thing though... but now I hate forums that are only chronological.
(ok, actually I only fart with this forum) (I gave up on all the other ones)
I do love it when people quote the entire post... and there's a picture inside... and then 20 other
people quote and quote.. and then the same pictures shows up 20 times...

But its' still very hard to find all the new posts using that viewing method. That is what I had originally but switched to the chronological so they would all be at the bottom.
I'm still not fully following the logic of the threaded. Am I supposed to respond to the original question or the post right before mine or what if I am responding to multiple posts? Everyone might have a different answer to those questions so it changes the thread logic. That's why it is easier to just go chrono and it doesn't matter if you hit reply or not.

"Recent Messages" right?
I see it but I find it cumbersome to use. That takes you to a page of unread posts. I find it easier to use the main screen in chrono order and threads with unread posts are highlighted in red. Then unread posts within those threads have "New" at the top of them.

I'm doing the San Jose Airport to BOF on Aug 16. Will be racing the clock to get our permit before closing (flight lands 11:45). One of the kind fellers here
did say it takes him 3:20 zooming in the wee hours of the AM to get to BOF. Google maps has it at 2:42 for 137 miles.

Actually sat here for 15 minutes enjoying... and then it was 3 1/2 hours home
to the Chick-on Ranch just south of San Jose Airport. (why I state this?) (b/c someone said it took that amount to get to BOF entrance...
and I swear I'm usually there in about 3 hrs)

Thanks for the great tips. Google maps sent me on 84 up to I-580 at Isabel Avenue. Is there any advantage of going east of Livermore and joining 580 at Altamont Pass Road (or later east?) We're actually arriving on 2 flights (Raleigh and Miami) with the earlier flight at 11am. So I do plan to have the rental car ready when the 11:45 flight lands and he collects his baggage. Big 5 is a ?? store? Grocery? Outfitter?

The interchange I spoke of 580/680 is only bad coming BACK to SJ
so taking 84 is optional and questionable if you will save time.

Nope. There's often a slowdown on I-580 eastbound just east of the I-680 interchange for several miles, simply the result of seven lanes of thru traffic being winnowed down to five (one being an HOV lane).
I used to work in Livermore for a number of years. Did this reverse commute daily. Still travel through the Tri-Valley area often enough to know that this part of I-580 can clog up during any hour of a weekday in either direction.

I almost always stop at Cook's Meadow and take a picture. I think I'll stop here more often.
Sorry, but it just does not get old. It just doesn't. Actually sat here for 15 minutes enjoying...

...I do appreciate that a couple of years ago the Park Service did trim (or maybe removed) some of the taller pines that were obstructing the view of Half Dome from the Valley View pullout (though I don't know how many other visitors of this scenic vista appreciate that or even notice that one can now, again, view Half Dome from this wonderfully scenic pullout.

North Dome Gully... I haven't... when I was atop North this past weekend enjoying
my Boy'R'Dee... two climbers came up... and ended up talking to them for
about 1/2 hr. Pretty much they said ND Gully is very scary and you can
easily make a wrong turn. Def. Class 4. . . . snip . . .

Now you've got me wondering what does the interior of the remodeled store look like?
I read where they spent a lot of $ on it, does it look any different inside?
