I created this slide show with pictures that I took at the event, October 7, 2006 and at the end September. CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocate, is a community based organization providing trained advocates for abused and neglected children who are dependent on the Juvenile Court to ensure their right to a safe and permanent home.

• Ride Report
  • Between starting later, doing the long route, and taking a lot of pictures, we ended up spending most of the day by ourselves. The morning was foggy and cool, but after an hour or so the sun came out and warmed everything up to the perfect riding temperature. It was one of the prettiest days for doing this ride! The food at the rest stops was great and the scenery with the fall colors was outstanding. We didn't get a chance to eat the post ride barbecue, but heard it was great. If you enjoy fall colors and a flat course, mark your calendars for next years event.

You will have the option to view the photos as a slide show with music or in a scrapbook format where you can turn the photos individually.

• Printing Photos
  • I posted a link here today, 10/8/2006, to allow online printing. The link will be active for 4-6 weeks. I'm not charging you to use my pictures, but you will need to pay for the photo processing of any photos you order. You are allowed to print photos for personal use only.
  • Sometimes I'm asked to email my photos for home printing. I won't do this for a number of reasons. If you do a lot of home printing, you should know that photos last longer and are cheaper to print using a professional service. Leo's Camera store in Klamath Falls does excellent work and they are very good to work with. When you use the online service, you have an option to have the photos printed locally for same day pickup at Leos. You can also have them mailed to your home, so the process is very convenient.
  • If you want more information about why home printing isn't a great idea, recently the NY Times published the article: Why Do-It-Yourself Photo Printing Doesn't Add Up. Click here to read the full text.
