I'm still grinning from ear to ear and its partly due to the LUG. One full year ago I took a few days vacation and spent spring break with my teenage son. We went to Lone Pine California, home of the Alabama Hills to do scenic photography. The Alabama hills were the back drops for lots of movies and TV shows, The Lone Ranger being my favorite. A reminder of the trip is still on the net at http://home.earthlink.net/~johnbohner/analog/paw/12.htm Ryan and I shot a dozen rolls there and in Death Valley and along the side of the Sierra. We spent 3 nites in a motel and on the way out I grabbed a contest form that was on top of the TV. For the heck of it, I entered their contest via the WWW. Fast forward 1 year. Today I was called and told that I am the grandprize winner in the motel chain's contest. Thanks to photography we can fly anywhere and back within the US or Canada minus Hawaii or Alaska. We get 2 nites in the chain's hotel/motel of our choice. A rental car for 3 days and some spending money! . We can blend it into our regular vacation if we want. Soooooo. Now all I have to do is figure out where to go! I'm leaning towards Calgary and the nearby Canadian Rockies like Banff Nat. Park. Have any Luggers shot much there? This is Cool, and its all because of the LUG. Invest time with your kids, it can pay off!
