Sure the hiking is fun, but this time we have other reasons to be out too. <ref>Andy is here</ref> downloading data into his laptop from his Magellan GPS. We're at a Waterloo-Pinckney Trail and side trail intersection. After we walk down each side trail we download track data for that trail. This time we're near Portage Lake at the western end of the Waterloo Pinckney Trail. John Lawton is in the background. 11:37.");slides[1] = new Slide("02", "Well the weather hasn't been ideal.

There was enough light though to show off <ref>these remarkably colorful</ref> trees (oak, maple, others I'm sure - we certainly came across plenty of sasafras). This vibrancy of color is just wonderful to behold. 17:11.");// October 27, 2004 - lunar eclipseslides[6] = new Slide("07", "On October 27, 2004 a total lunar eclipse was visible to many people in the northern hemisphere. We had clear skies here in Ann Arbor so had a great view.

Though a bit blurry do to air quality and a less than rock solid tripod setup it's still not bad. I wish I had more to work with than just the mere 100mm (35mm equivilant) lens of my Canon Powershot S70.", 425, 359);// November 7, 2004 - near Cassiday Lake Road in Waterloo Rec.
