Observation notes: Your spot at saddle bag, thank you for this spot. its not easy to get to or get any chance of getting one. Some times a person can get lucky. Warm day when the sun was shining.

Thanks Ken for all your long hours looking at all our photo's. Hope all is well. Yes it took me MORE than Five years to get this one even with all your help, oh and Brett's also!
