Doug, Between you and me we should be able get that ol' gal straightened out about how t' post Forum photos. I'm lookin' forward to having a few more of her images t', shall I say, enhance? Yeah, that's it ... enhance. Trouble is that she shows signs of having the same attitude toward sweet ol' boys like you and me that one can easily see in Jodi and Janie and a few other Geobabes that I have th' honey-sweet pleasure t' know. Please don't tell any one of 'em that I said any-such-a thang. Ain't they all th' sweetest thangs? Thanks for your encouragement for me to stick a Duck-tape tux' t'gether. I'll give it due consideration ... maybe for the M*A*S*H III event if I happen t' live that long, you know, Geobabes-wise. So it goes, Sweet ol' Harmon Harmon I has returned...lol Leianne

Lol I do like the cowboy boots. Do we get to see a pic of you wearing them? Checked out the pics of the clothes made with the duct tape, cool. So you making a suit with duct tape next? Leianne

Hi there! They let me hang out here a little bit too! CA for Canada or California helps I guess. I'm guessing we all qualify on the slightly silly/goofy specification. Don't mind them too much, they just miss out on too much snow and cold. Ours JUST left about two weeks ago and there was some new higher up just two days back. Those look like fun kids, don't you let them get all serious too quickly now. As for the pictures, I didn't think it was right for me to link them here for you, but... Since they exist on the site already, all you have to do is go to them and display the larger version, right click and copy the URL via that option. IF I'm doing more than one image I paste them URLs into something like Note or Word Pad for keeping as a group. Then re copy if needed and when writing a post like this, right next to the smiley up top there is a graphic icon of a chain link. click that and you can link ONE image at a time. Just paste each URL you gathered there. It should appear on the note. Use preview to check it. That just LINKS to the image without displaying it. To display it, go one more Icon to the right (like a picture of a tree) Same method one at a time, but it will actually show the image in the post. There is a way to do a bunch at once, but you still have to collect them on a text editor NP or WP of some sort then process. The catch is that any posted image has to exist somewhere ON the internet. In this case a Geocache LOG gallery, some of us use offline photo storage sites. But it has to be something that can be linked or polled to show. Lots of stuff you can do if you check out the little ? in a blue circle at the upper right of the entry screen. It takes time to figure out, so you can ask away. By the Way, I like the 'antlers' one, goes far to prove that retouching isn't the only way to have some fun with images, have you tried the 'little person on hand' illusion? I used to do that with film camera all the time. Doug 7rxc Elkford BC CA Thanks for the reply I did right click but there is no option for the URL and I tried copy/paste and that doesnt work either. In the pic with Kristian and his 'antlers' he found that near the cache and had to have it in the pic. So I had him hold it behind him so we could get the atler effect. I didnt do anything in photoshop except cut the pic down and adjust the color a little. I havent had much time to practice or use the other things like the one you mentioned. Leianne

"Worked on ..." I'll say, something like fifty finds. What's a girl like you doing in a place like this? And how come you didn't log numbers one through three? So let's see some action, press on for your One-K milestone ... don't be sittin' 'round girl! Sweet ol' Harmon SD Rowdies A girl like me lives up in the mountains like that background shows (portola and graeagle, cal if you want to look up the area and pics). Wonderful summers up here. Winters well we shovel and use snowblowers to park in our driveways lol. As for the finds on the power trail, it was a 50 cache trail. We found the first 3 last fall. Out of the 47 we looked for we found 43. This sick complaining body didnt like it but I sure did Will be getting out and searching for more caches as soon as I can. We are in the middle of moving to Graeagle from Portola and we have our annual Yosemite youth group trip July 1-8. Then the 2 oldest of our grandkids are coming for a visit for the rest of July. They are 12 and 10. The three of us started working on the blackwood canyon power trail at Lake Tahoe on Jan 3 this year. Very little snow at the time though the road was closed to car traffic. So we walked about a 1 mile each way grabbing the first 8 caches. I promised when they came to visit this summer we would go down and work on the trail again. So that will be in the plans after our trip. Enclosed are a couple pics of Kristian and Neveah caching the blackwood canyon trail. I couldnt fiqure out how to copy and paste them so they are at caches GC2HM5T and GC2HMQH. The kids dont look like me lol but I have taught them to be silly and goofy like me. As you say Harmon.......so it goes Leianne

I see what your saying about giving Harmon any pics lol. O geez, now you've truly fallen in with that rascal. What am I to do with you? Actually I havent fallen in with anyone. When I first saw your boots I sat here and laughed.... a lot I was then given a warning about giving you pics due the fact that you like to um... alter them lol. And since I have seen several pics in the archives I agree with the warning. If I knew how to alter pics like you do I would love to fix up a few of yours haha. On another note, I actually had the chance to get out and work on a power trail up near Truckee last weekend with my daughter. It was a great time. Getting closer to my 1000 milestone Truckee's 1st power trail! by Dizfiz is what we worked on. Happy caching everyone! Leianne

See what I'm sayin' 'bout Jodi? Janie too, just wait and see. (Tick, tick, tick ....) By the way, the advantage of cammo' boots is that they don't leave boot-prints and so a Mountain Lion can't track you down and eat you. That's a good thang. On th' downside it's really hard t' tie th' boot laces 'cause y' can't see th' invisible boots. That's a bad thang. So it goes, Poor ol' Harmon Note to Self: Got t' figure out which side Portolahiker is on. Hey wait a min..... My socks are all the way down and 'bunched' as much as they can be. I am not going to cut my foot off so they can go down more If you can make some boots that can do all that...... you would be a rich man haha The last comment If you cant fiqure out which side portolahiker is on then ya need some new glasses haha Sgt. Seymour Argyle of the San Diego County Unbunched Sock Police had this to say, "Socks that aren't bunched and socks that can't be seen are one and the same as far as law is concerned ... not unbunched in either case t' put it plain." Besides, falling in with rebels like Janie and Jodi does nothing for your case. Willfully choosing to wander from the arrow-straight road to bunched-sock righteousness is a common first step toward the DTMMBLB-offenders identity parade. As to the wisecrack about my stylish cammo' boots, keep in mind that you only had one leg to stand on in the original version of that posted image. Be careful what you wish for. So it goes, Sweet ol' Harmon Note to Self: Love it, she can dish it out! I am a rebel now? Ohh....I think I like the sound of that

Portolahiker, Please will you send me a note saying that you think my cammo' boots are terrific and that Janie and Jodi were being mean to me when they laughed at my stylish footwear ... please, please? If you drill all the way back through this Forum thread you'll see how naughty those two ol' gals have been to me over the years. Even so I think the world of them. (Please don't tell them that I've said so.) Delighted that you have found enjoyment within this crazy Forum Thread. My guess is that you would fit right in with our gang of crazed Geocachers. I checked your profile page and so am aware of your difficulty. The sure antidote is (1) something to do, (2) someone to love, and (3) something to look forward to. Best wishes from San Diego County, Harmon SD Rowdies Sorry Harmon, I am laughing along with Janie and Jodi. I think the boots are hilarious

Hi Everyone, I am Portolahiker and I live north of Lake Tahoe. Found this ongoing topic list last fall. I want to thank you all for the wonderful laughs. Have been to sick to do much caching so I was online finding things to occupy myself. When I saw Harmon's 'updated' boots I had to once again chuckle with you all in Southern Cal. and finally post a comment. Would love to join up with you all at an event or caching if I ever get down your way. Happy Caching everyone! Portolahiker
