OT Californian Fires

Hoping any PDMLers in the LA area are safe. The fires look terrifying. Our dear friends Jo & Byron lost their house at Casitas Springs near Ojai. We had stayed with them during our 2013 trip to the west coast. Brian -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

Hawaii is the one I've never been to... unlikely I ever will and of course I've been to the one in the northeast many times, as I lived in Maine for 3 years and also took many road trips down east since then... I left off a couple in Florida that I may have been to as a child, possibly

Hi ann, I'm surprised you've only been to 7 National parks. Your comment made me stop and count the National Parks I've visited - 22. Not all of them were photo destinations - some were just to rubber neck. These National Parks are a great resource for the U. S. Kenneth Waller
