QUOTE: Originally posted by sparkingbolt Hey, Joe. I grew up in Coos Bay, with 3 years in Myrtle Point before that. Now I'm in Bend. We've made our share of trips to Roseburg and Medford. I must say your pictures take me back over the mountains with a touch of nostalgia even. The green trees and yellow dry grass are dead on for the heat of the summer. I think I can hear the grasshoppers and crickets, and the Rogue in the distance! You wouldn't know where there's a picture or 3 of the S.P freight station in Coos Bay before they tore it down?[V] Great tutorial. Dan

I even sit there watching commercials on TV with scenery for ideas. http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/albums/105/ Just a thought Harold I was at Walmart tonight and I saw a magazine I had never seen before and I picked it up and it opened to a page and there were those very pictures that you point to in this post. Good Job.
