Picture one we are hiking on a trail at City Lake - beautiful area. The first in line is our friend Diane, then her husband, Rod, then Howard, and then their son, Sadri. Gabby, their daughter has gotten a good lead on us, and of course, I'm bringing up the rear. The second picture Howard is panning for GOLD. Yes, real gold. There is a place about 10 minutes from where we are living called Cotton Patch Gold Mine. We all went there and learned how to pan for gold, and actually found some! It is very tiring work. You get about 7 buckets each full of rocks, sand and hopefully some gold flecks. We found about $15.00 worth during the 3 to 4 hours we were there.
The third picture is of Howard riding his bike (duh), out in the country near where he works. I didn't have the setting on camera set right so he came out a little blurry.
