How to: Animated GIF

Nothing is more frustrating to me when someone takes 15 minutes to explain something that could be done in 1 minute.

Hang Gliding Dog Mtn and Mattole

Road Trip

Facing away from Dog Mountain.

Well, I finally did it – I bought a GoPro! Because of my hang gliding videos many people assume I’ve always had one, but not until this week! So far I’m enjoying it. It’s definitely convenient and compact. I bought the extra LCD screen for the back too and I’m glad I did! It allows [...]

It has been vacant for probably over 25 years. The second is the oldest building in downtown, constructed around 1836. It is currently being renovated, which [...]
