    By popular demand, here is a link to some pictures from my hiking trip in Mexico's Copper Canyon. Also included are a few miscellaneous pictures from other trips. I've never set up a Kodak picture gallery before, so please report problems. In particular, this link should NOT require registration.

    If enough people request, I'll post some more of the pictures.

    If I ever get pics from Australia (as I've been promised!) I'll add them in, and post the link again.

    Doesn't work. Any chance of making it compatible with STANDARD
    browsers, without dependence on bells-n-whistles?

    Works fine in Firefox, with no bells or whistles added or necessary. I suspect that he has little control over Kodak's website policies, though.

    Wow, brings back memories. I flew my Cessna to El Fuerte a few years ago and took the train up there. The weather was great, a little hazy.

    I got the shivers though, about two days before, 3 people in a Cessna taildragger had landed on a dirt strip on the edge of the Canyon. On take off, they didn't have enough airspeed and stalled, crashing about 300 feet below on a ledge. I hiked down, and was shocked what a plane looks like in a plummet like that. Makes you think very carefully about the position you place yourself.

    Recall alot of off the wall comments about those vertical rock formations.

    Miss the weather in the southwest.

    I'm glad it worked for most folks. Sounds like Firefox is the prefered browser. Lots of folks like it better overall. I find some sites are better on Firefox, others on IE.

    Maybe you need to allow pop-ups and/or scripts? I don't know much about this stuff, and as someone else commented, I have no control over how the site works. I did specify that log-in should not be required. (They really really wanted me to require log-in, insisting it would be better for YOU. HA!)

    I tried first to set it up on geocities/Yahoo, since I already have a Yahoo address, but their web site creator would not run on my computer!

    There were a couple of tough spots, but anyone who can walk 7 or 8 miles in a day can do it. I posted a pic of the hardest bit the group did. I made it through that without help, but the guides were meticulous in guiding those that needed it, spotting them on the downward side, and showing them exactly where to put their feet. Mostly it was very good trail. And there are plans to improve that spot to make it accessible for mules so the local people can use the trail to transport goods.

    The last morning two of us went out on our own, with only rough directions/suggestion from the guide, and we came to a dead end and rather than turn around, we scrambled some 20 or 30 feet up a near-vertical cut, using some rock outcroppings for hand- and foot-holds. That was one of my scariest bits ever, but would have been child's play for a rock-climber.

    I think Mountain Sobek rates this trip as moderate.
