Blogging here will be very limited -- possibly even non-existent -- between now and Monday, June 11. Your blogger and his father will be on vacation in and near Mt. Lassen National Park, in search of wildflowers. We got good news a couple of days ago: the road through the park has been plowed, so all areas are accessible.
The reason for the uncertainty? The area where we're traveling to just barely has telephones, and those few can't be used for computer access. There's a rumor of WiFi access in a town we'll most likely visit a few times, but it's just a rumor. So we just don't know!
