FYI, we have had a terrible time getting on the internet out at our campgrounds. Ed is my neighbor and he has tried several times over as many days to post his report. He finally went into town at the library to download his photos to share with you. Talk about persevence!
I got permission from the campground host to raise the repeater antenna another 10' so now we can get better reception, so hopefully the data log jam is broken, keep yer fingers crossed.
