Your son is lucky to have a father/pal that shares and values fishing trips.
Funny how your offspring turns out. My dad saturated me with countless trips to the Kern Plateau and the John Muir Trail to the point of rediculous.
Looking back though it's interesting because while I did/do love to fish, my sons could care less. Maybe that's because the beauty and freedom of
space, beauty and privacy here in Oregon are a common and abundant thing. Not like SoCal.
I think most people take their surruondings for granted and fail to look beyond the fence. You are a good dad/pal to show him what's on the other
side.
Thanks for sharing your poignant photos.
A real shame the dams halted the salmon runs.

On saving photos, slides, images.....
Awhile back I had a massive computer crash and for awhile it seemed that each and every one of my Baja photos was lost. Tore up my heart, it did....
brought lots of tears.
With some cash outflow and the assistance of someone with special expertise, those photos were regained. Since that time I back up all my photos....
once to a large computer drive and once again to dvd. The best are stored to a paid photo storage site.
I no longer care if all images are sorted before storing. If sorting is necessary, I'm sure to have some of my older old age to do that. Right now I
find it important to be able to go back and look at those images, just the way we used to enjoy slide shows shown on a sheet hung on the wall or an
exploration through the box of old family pictures.
My mother recently passed. Those pix of her growing up years and of my years with her brought up so many memories, were so much fun to see again. I
think I'll continue to save even those images I consider 'snapshots'. They show 'how things were'.... which most often brings a smile to my heart.

Sonora Pass. Brings back many memories. I have ridden my bicycle up Sonora Pass many times, both solo and with my wife on our tandem, from Murphys.
Quite difficult.

I went through the exact same thing Nena. Hard drive took a dump. I was panicked because only about 10% of my photos are on Smugmug. I enlisted our
IT guy at work and many pesos later I got them all back. I started with external hard drives myself, but unfortuneatly they take a dump also.
Offsite backup is what I have found to be the answer for me. Several companies are out there I use Carbonite, at $55 per year it is continually
backing up your computer without any prompts and will painlessly transfer all files into a new computer when your current one dies, which it will!
Losing digital file/pictures doesn't have to happen and the solutions arn't really that expensive.

Now organizing pictures allready taken.......................maybe after I retire.

Sharks, I think (am pretty sure) it's a genetic thing.
Like obssesive compulsive behavior. Like being able to smoke casually while others get hooked.
Alex isn't particularly predisposed to fishing, either. He doesn't have the fishing bug as bad as I did, or baitcast, or pescador. You can tell from
reading the posts who have it. Juan Arce has it and it's obvious when you talk to the man.
There are people who won't stop for sandwich while fishing. They'll pick up the rod between bites. I would often go out in my boat in baja and not be
aware of the day until 5PM or so. Never even think of eating lunch. Time just stood still. All else is blocked out.
