[Leica] First part of our trip

[Aram Langhans]

Thanks for looking, Peter an for the picks.  Had a good time and still 
are.  I posted a bunch more in the same folder from the Oregon coast leg 
of the trip.  I'll try to single out a few and in another message soon.  
I know I posted too many too fast.

Knees working pretty good with only a few challenges.
