That means that some of the cam links won’t work because they’ll change the addresses. I will try to get those updated too, but like always, any help from you guys would be great.

Both Karl and Terry mentioned about the possibility of a Wisconsin web site. I don’t know about a Wisconsin site, but I will most likely start another site to go along with SierraVisions. I’ve thought about it for some time now, I even considered doing it while here in Bishop. The new site will be more about me and my life right then. So it will of course have a lot of Wisconsin in it including any photos I take and poems that I write that wouldn’t fit into SierraVisions. It will also have more about music in it.
One of the reasons I’m moving to Madison is because of the music scene there. I really want to get together with other musicians and try to get something going. So the new site will have a lot of that in it too.
I don’t have any time frame on this and most of it is still in the thinking stage. But it will most likely happen once I’m settled in. I have a feeling I’ll have a lot of time this winter to get it going.

Just a quick note to let all of you know that I’m back from Arizona. The trip went well and we all had a good time. My newest nephew is cute as can be. As are all of my nephews and nieces.
Also, thank all of you for your kind words and your support at this huge time in my life. It means so much to me. The next few weeks are going to be very busy, but I will keep you guys updated on things.

There is something that I have to tell you guys. I have made a huge life decision this week. I have decided to move from Bishop. I’m going to move back to Madison, Wisconsin.
This isn’t a spur of the moment decision. I’ve been thinking about it for months now. In fact, it’s been thought about since before we lost Tammy. Her and I often talked about moving back there. There are many reasons why I’ve chosen Madison, but the biggest one is because I need a major change in my life. Since losing dad and Tammy this last year, I have not been happy in Bishop. I still love my mountains, but even they aren’t the same for me anymore. I also have a different view as to what I want in life. The things that I now want aren’t easy to have in Bishop. Things such as a good job where you have health insurance and make a decent wage.
I’ve know for some time that I wanted to make this move, but it wasn’t until I went back there and saw Wisconsin first hand that I knew this was really what I wanted. At first I was going to wait until spring, but a few things have happened the last couple of weeks that made me decided that now is the time to go. I hope to be back there by the end of November.
All of my family are behind me and very supportive. And I won’t be alone back there since mine and Tammys good friend Cande is there. She is already looking for a place for me and at the rate she’s going will most likely find one in no time.
As for SierraVisions. It’s not going anywhere. I am keeping it online and plan on updating it as regularly as I do now. The biggest difference will be that I can’t give first hand accounts of conditions and there won’t be any new Sierra pictures from me. I do have an idea for you guys to get your Sierra pictures on the site though and I’m hoping that you can give updates on conditions after your visits to the Sierras. I’d still like to keep this site going as the best Sierra site on the web. When I think about it, I will be using SierraVisions just like you guys now. It will be my way to keep in touch with these awesome mountains.
I will try to keep you updated on how the move is going. I have a lot to do in a pretty short time. I’m pretty nervous, scared and exited all at once here. This is the biggest thing I have ever done in my life.
One more thing. I will be gone the next four days. I’m taking my mom to Kingman AZ so she can visit with her new great-grandson.

I wanted to check in on all of you that live in the fire areas in Southern Cal.
How are you guys doing? I hope everything is ok with you all.
Let us know.
I’m expecting the smoke to start heading up the Owens Valley if the winds shift like they are predicting. That’s good for SoCal, not good for my alergies.
