So, Tom -
You must be one of those guys whom I had to "PhotoShop" out of Ernie's photos. Actually, I only 'zapped' one foamer, who was in the middle of one of the scenes at Antonito. The rest were on the periphery and either didn't interfere enough to matter or were easily cropped off the edges of the versions that I posted. But not to worry — the only thing being removed from the copies of the original scans that I'm sending to Ernie are some dust spots & minor scratches.
Over the years I've found that going uphill is harder on the muscles (and lungs), and going downhill is MUCH harder on the knees
