Algonquin Park Trip 2003
|
I'm about to leave for our annual Algonquin Park
trip. We took a whole lot of pictures last year, so I thought
I'd post them before I leave. We saw a huge snapping turtle,
climbed cliffs, swam in a waterfall and saw some moose, among
other things. It was a great trip and I'm looking forward to
trip 2004. Page 1 - Page 2 - Page 3 |

Starburst Auction Pricing
Posted January 10, 2004 |
I didn't attend this auction, but a guy I met
at the November auction e-mailed me a pricelist. I always find
pricelists very interesting and it lets anyone interested know
what kind of things to expect and to predict for the next auction.
Enjoy and thanks to Jonathan (not me), the guy who sent me the
list . Page 1 |
