[Leica] IMG: Rubicon Trail

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Thank you George. I just got back from the show and it is, again, a very 
unique venue. I'm shooting it over the next couple of days (it ends 
Saturday) and will pick a few for showing by Sunday hopefully.
Again, thanks for looking and commenting,
Bob
