I took too many Blue Racer photos and I'm having a hard time figuring out which ones to use. In the meantime, though, I'll put up the pictures that I <em>know</em> I want to use up to that point.

We just got back from our latest trip a few days ago, so there should be some new content on its way shortly. I'll also be harassing some participants of past trips to get older material uploaded as well.

There will be a few bugs to work out still, particularly in terms of broken links in the older entries on the weblog. I'll be updating the links in due course.

A new trip report I wrote for The OHS News is now online; it's basically an expansion of the report I wrote for my weblog and for the OARA newsletter.

The participants list has its own page now, and is more detailed.

More structural changes to come, particularly to the front page and overall navigation of the site.
