I have a lawn gnome in front of my house. I think he's cute.

No flamingoes yet.

I also have a gnome in my front yard. He is in my garden. The kids asked me why Grandpa was in the yard...Shhh...don't repeat that....

I just had a cool image of a Christmas card, use those lit up flamingos and put the family in summer gear...great California shot, eh?

Thank you to those who have shared your pictures so far...they show a great time was had by all.

I love the spider web gate! Where was that? And the touching rock? What's the story there? Was it cold at times? {I notice some were wearing flannel shirts}

Capt Jack · 07-07-2007, 06:45 PM

that was the entrance to crystal caves. yeah, the gate was very cool. as far as cold, their take was about 50*F. it was a welcomed relief

the touching rock was for everyone to get it out of their system and to see what constant hand contact did to the rock in the cave, hence their request to avoid contact of any kind

MouseWife · 07-07-2007, 07:02 PM

Yes, I think the cooler weather was great. Great to hike in, too.

LOL Well, I think that the touching stone is a great idea!!

The gate, so darn cool.

Capt Jack · 07-07-2007, 07:22 PM

nah, the 50* was just in the cave. outside was probably mid-80's or so

Plastic Flamingos of today just don't burn/melt as good as the old ones did...

MouseWife · 07-07-2007, 08:17 PM

Sounds like someone has been burning things....

Oh, well, that makes it sound like it was hot outside of the cave...

Were ya'll able to enjoy a river/stream?

innerSpaceman · 07-08-2007, 08:45 AM

Yes, on Sunday we enjoyed wading in the Kings River .... I, for one, was glad it was not the raging torrent our guides were apparently accustomed to.

(We also stuck our feet in Dorst Creek at our campground, but the water was terrifyingly freezing!)
