Morning all!

I just posted some pictures of the Nininger Museum on my way to and
from the Holbrook hunt.

Warning, they are untouched and about 5mb each. I thought maybe some
of you would like to see this place in it's current state. Note the
clear blue skies! Awesome weekend!
They are in the scrapbook at http://desertsunburn.no-ip.org

V/R,

Jim Wooddell
