To add a little to what I just posted, I am actually glad you contacted me, as I had downloaded the sign for Angels Camp (I really love that pic!) on a very old laptop that died (Of course) the night before I crushed an ankle and was in the hospital 10 days, in pc withdrawals! I have tried to find that pic especially for almost a year now, and was afraid the album had been removed. I was able to locate and download it again on my first brand new pc! I have a binder with jokes I've typed up, and at the end, the story Mark Twain wrote is preceeded by an 8 by 10 blowup of that pic, and is a great beginning for the story. Of course it's been for personal use only! You did a great job of catching the whole sign, with no glares, or cutting off part of it. Again, thank you for that special pic, and of course, the street signs! I get a kick out of the way that particular frog is used throughout the town, even painted on the sidewalks downtown! So I really do appreciate the effort you made to capture something of the town's 'flavor'!

Hello, I'm sorry I reacted so harshly about your pics of the Angels Camp area, and I did love several of them actually. I love my hometown, and am very homesick. I had to leave when I was 18, as I was pregnant, and didn't know there were programs to help others in my type of situation. When I did, it was too late to return, as I had no means, and didn't want my parents to feel shame. I agree that pics full of tourists are much worse than no pics at all, and hope you will accept my apology for my reaction. I'm usually a very kind person; that was totally out of charecter for me, and I wish I could somehow remove what was said. I wasn't aware I could make my comments in private, by contacting you this way, rather than blast you in the album itself. I was out of line; again, I apologise. You take care, and if I have something to say to anyone, I'll do it privately so it doesn't reflect on their work. After all, it's not the pro section that makes websots such a wonderful place to find great screensavers, it's the community, and the wide array of topics we can explore! Thank you for the wonderfu pics that were there, and for giving me something to see of my home. You Take Care! Betty from Tacoma

There are too few people who remember all of the tracks that we used to have. I grew up in San Rafael, know and knew Cotati and China Camp well and I'm from Iceland so I hope you make it up there too, as you stated. Thanks for that great Cotati photo, Ray. rraypo@hotmail.com
