Help with image posting

Dave,

Yes, I discovered that using the IMG and simply pasting it in the Finescale "Use rich formatting" window I get the result I want. Copying the "direct" URL from Photobucket works well if you don't care about the image opening in a separate tab should you want to enlarge it.

Thanks for the compliment regarding the picture but, honestly, anyone with a camera could have taken as good or better shots that day. It is a lovely hike and that day last spring it was very visually rewarding.

After I figure out how to get the landing gear doors onto my 1/48 Accurate Miniatures Grumman F3F-1 and finish it, I'll start another ship. I'm following your thread on the big Golden Hind since I also have it in my stash.

Mike, for what it's worth, I don't have much luck using the *direct* link...I always use the IMG link from Photobucket to get my pics on here.

Beautiful picture, BTW.

I've done that trail. I have to say I agree about not being a couch potato and I would add not for those afraid of heights. There is a couple parts that are very interesting in that respect.

John,

The image is from one of my many hikes on Dog Mountain on the Washingon side of the Columbia Gorge. I filed a short "review"/trip report on one of the links below.

It's not a hike for the average couch potato since it has some rather steep sections. It can be very rewarding though if one's timing is lucky - lots of wildflowers in the spring.

The only thing I don't like about it is that it's so popular. I have to get up VERY early to be at the trailhead (a rather large parking area - I'd say for well over 50 vehicles) or the parking area is full - usually before 8 am.

That's a beautiful shot, Mike.  Where'd you shoot it?

OK, I finally got it!!
