Tutorial Organization

I'm so excited to tell you I've added another tab button to the top of my blog. I've been busy, busy, busy, organizing all my tutorials, from this past year, into an easy to find list, including thumbnails, that you can scroll through.

Just click on the tab at the top of my blog that says, "Tutorials." You'll go to a page that has all my most recent tutorials, from most recent and working backward chronologically. It goes back through July. There is a link to the first six months of the year at the top of the Tutorial page. Just click on that page to see those.

For my subscribers, you'll need to click through to my blog to see what I am talking about. 

I really hope you all find this helpful. I have to thank Michelle Zindorf, who has been a huge source of inspiration to me. I love the way she organized her tutorials and wanted to do the same.

I'll continue to work on getting the tutorials from 2009 sorted and add those to the tutorial page soon.

I'll leave you with a few photos from some of my recent hikes.

Yesterday we did a 9.4 mile hike along Mill Creek, at Whiskeytown, to Boulder Falls.

Here is another photo of the falls.

The hike along Mill Creek was beautiful. There were tons of lady bugs, all clustered on stumps and branches, but as the day warmed up they started moving about and flying here and there. When we got back to the car, we had to brush them off ourselves, so they didn't get trapped inside with us.

A few weeks ago we went on a hike at Lassen Park and came across this huge mushroom thingy. (I don't know if they are called mushrooms when they are growing on the side of a stump like this?) You can't tell by the photo, but it was about a foot in diameter and had such beautiful coloring.

Here was one of 12 lakes we passed on this 11 mile Lassen  trail. We are trying to take a lot of long hikes because I've decided I want to try to hike Half Dome (Mom, don't click that link) next summer. It's 14-17 miles depending on which route you take and 4800 feet elevation gain.
