Hi Carol,
Great idea to start this. It's just too easy to lose track of everyone, and sometimes we forget how important family ties can be. I should know, since I haven't seen many of you for over ten years.
Your note about dad (Doug) really sparked some memories --- thanks for that.
Was backpacking in yosemite recently near the Hetch Hetchy reservoir; the main water source for San Francisco. Ten of us, including two guides, camped for three days after hiking four hours into the campsite. No toilets or showers and it got down into the teens at night, meaning I slept in my clothes while in the sleeping bag. But, it was a great experience, including a visit from a black bear Saturday night.
Went skydiving for my birthday last summer and have a video I'll try to post later. Yes, my mid-life crisis is in full bloom.
More later.
Keith M.

How it works
This is a good system to save a lot of family information from the past and to post things going on now and for the future.
Just
If you don't want to set up a gmail account it's fine. You can submit information and pictures by emailing what you want to post along with pictures etc. to anyone who shows up as a contributor below. I'm sure this list will grow and they would be glad to post it for you.
Comments section. Under each post you will see "comments" section. Anyone can post comments on the post above. You don't need account access to post a comment.
We will work it out as we go along and if you have any questions you can email me or call. Now to let you know... This is Brian typing this... we are using Carol's gmail account for the administration of the account.
The calendar on the bottom will list birthdays or any event you want. Right now you will have to email the event to me, but I'm working on a way for everyone to just post something to the calendar. The two little arrows on the top left will let you scroll through different months.
Sometimes the calendar will not load on the first try with "firefox". It shows an option of "try again" and hitting that seems to work. Let me know if you have problems with it.
Just
Email me! and you will receive a invitation to participate so you can make posts add pictures. You don't need an account to post "comments" (see below). The invitation will ask you to set up a gmail account. If you do please keep your username and password simple so you can remember it easy. Once you "sign in" on the blog with your gmail account user name and password you will be able to make posts.If you don't want to set up a gmail account it's fine.

Thanks for your quick response and participation. It has been many years since we have seen you, but your picture shows you have not changed much.
Your trip was interesting and a awesome spot for sure. The idea of making posts like this will keep the blog interesting and I hope yours will encourage others to do the same.
