Yesterday was simply fabulous here in the Upper Midwest. A high
pressure system dominated, resulting in cobalt-blue skies, light
winds, and cool temperatures -- perfect for a leaf-peeping flight!

See the pix at www.alexisparkinn.com/2004_leaf_peeper_pix.htm .

We headed over to the Mississippi, just 35 minutes away, for Sunday
brunch at Prairie du Chien's riverboat casino. After stuffing
ourselves to the point of submission, we waddled back to the plane for
a lovely afternoon of leaf peeping.

The Great River Road runs alongside the Big Muddy for much of this
flight, and it was absolutely packed with ground-bound leaf peepers.
Our casino courtesy van driver confirmed that every hotel room up and
down the river was sold out for the next week or two, as literally
tens of thousands of people converged on Mark Twain's river, trying in
vain to see perhaps 10% of what we could see from the air.

For a change, we had no where to go, and nothing to do but gaze out
the window. Throttled back to 20 squared, we puttered along at 2000
feet, enjoying Dwayne O'Brien (and his album of flying songs called
"Song Pilot") and the warmth of the late autumn sun.

After a time, we even turned the radio off, and (*gasp!*) flew NORDO
for an hour or so, completely lost in reverie as the sun set and each
new bend in the river brought new and better sights.

It was a great day. I hope you all have such wonderful flights, too!

Jay, could you try setting up the photos in a slideshow format (click on
the right/left arrow to advance/digress).

Looks great, and sounds like a blast, Jay. We had the high pressure move in
for us in Pennsylvania today, and I took full advantage of it. But the
leaves haven't quite "turned" here in Pittsburgh just yet. There were some
isolated blooms of spectacular color, but it's going to take another week or
so to be really breathtaking.

That format takes much longer to load.

For us DSL/Cable modem guys, that's irrelevant -- but I got lots of
complaints from folks on dial-up connections when I tried a few of those
slide show formats.

Well, you could put a hyperlink to the next slide on the page that displays any
given slide; that would only require knowing the file name of the "next" slide
in sequence and wouldn't add much of anything to load time. In fact it would
add nothing to the load time of the main page, and just a hair to the load time
of any individual pic (which would need a handful of bytes for the hyperlink)
A similar hyperlink with the previous slide and you're all set.

Pretty pics, btw

I have done it that way, and it worked great. I would suggest that Jay at
least look into doing this...

Jay, I already have the html already written if you want me to send it to
you...

Sure!

Although, I'll be hard-pressed to justify spending any more time on
leaf-peeper pix than I already have...

;-)

(That's the really nice part about the photo galleries I use -- you can make
'em in seconds...)

Great pix. Jay. Had to do a double take with the one on the first row,
far right. The leading edge of Atlas looks strangely like a Cessna wing
strut.

I thought that I already had the HTML already written for this, but now I
can't find it.

This should work though, but you would have to save each pic as an html
file. Just be sure to put the alt, size and id tag's in place.
