Re: Eight Ways Hiking in the Worst Weather is the Best Hiking There Is
Great writing Annie and welcome to TG! I often find what I think is terrible about a trip turns out to be my best memories. I've had setbacks on trips, but what I remember is what I learned and the great people that have helped along the way.

Re: Eight Ways Hiking in the Worst Weather is the Best Hiking There Is
Gotta admit, I never planned to be out in bad weather; all our bad-weather camping memories are of sitting around together huddled in the tent playing cards with the kids and eating cereal out of the box. Maybe we should have gone out and gotten wet!

Re: Old Law Beacons, Guile Point, Northumberland, UK
Beautiful pictures...and I'm fascinated by the concept of unlit beacons, usable only in daylight. Never occurred to me...do you know if that was common at the time?

Great article! Laughlin really is so different from Vegas and if you can call any spot with gambling, slow paced, Laughlin is it.

Re: Penguins and Protea: Cape Point Peninsula
Excellent article and photos. I was on an official tour of South Africa when I visited Cape Town. Unfortunately Cape Point wasn't on the itinerary. Maybe I will get the opportunity to return and visit this interesting and picturesque location!

Hi Marilyn, thanks for your comment. It really works out well as a day trip. Very recommended for your next visit to Cape Town.

Re: Penguins and Protea: Cape Point Peninsula
I agree, excellent article and photos. I lived in Cape Town in the early 1980s, and there were no penguins at Boulders until 1982. One other good place to see them is Betty's Bay, which is the other side of False Bay, on the coast road to the whale watching town of Hermanus.
