steelbytes,
You continue to have a good eye for great camera shots. Like many others, I really appreciate you sharing your Down Under world. I kind of wish others would do the same for their countries. You really need to be out riding solo so you can stop and capture the scenery. I mostly group ride and seem to miss the countryside shots - mostly shots of the other riders. Selfishly, don't stop any time soon. Bob Copeland ![]() Recent group ride Northern Minnesota to Lake MIlle Lacs
![]() Lake Mille Lacs - native american name meaning " A Thousand Lakes"
![]() This Lake has a circumference of 100 Miles - My parents had a Summer Cabin on this Lake. I spent the first 16 Summers of my youth on this huge lake.
![]() Most common fish - great tasting white fish - named the Walleye

and the map for the previous 2 parts
I think it's a bit sucky that the ferry now leaves from geelong not melbourne. aarrggh, that's 72km freeway ride in each direction and when they kicked me off the boat at 6am and it was still cold and dark and I was very sleep deprived that's the last thing I want. used to be only 9km from home ![]()
