Subject: RE: Add Mailing List Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 15:17:40 -0400 From: LeeAnn To: VisitUs@4peaks.com Hi Martin & Louise, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - all that catch up at work after my time off...Of course all the new stress simply means that I now have to plan another trip to Fourpeaks (sooner rather than later) to get my dose of serenity! I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how wonderful our time was at Ridge Camp. Sundancer and I had a beautiful week - each day was a true jewel. Looking back on it, I believe that we probably hiked well over 5 miles each day - yet I haven't been so relaxed in a long time. It's truly amazing how nice it is to just spend some unstructured time. I took time for just pleasure reading and enjoying the fabulous views, trees, birds, and fresh air. Sundancer's favorite part was probably the frogs by the river... The time went way too fast! Here are some photos from our time at the camp. warm regards, Lee Ann

Subject: Oct reservation Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 11:37:34 -0400 From: LeeAnn To: VisitUs@4peaks.com Hi again Martin & Louise, Well, I saw an ad (I think it was from LLBean) that said something like "Your favorite summer place is just a sweater away from becoming your favorite fall place." Although this did not entice me to buy any sweaters (I have lots) it did spur me on to book antoher little trip to Four Peaks. I'd like to reserve Ridge Camp for Sundancer & myself arriving in the afternoon on Friday October 5 and departing Monday October 8. Let me know what you need for a deposit and I will send off a cheque. thanks so very much! Lee Ann Subject: RE: Your Fourpeaks visit 11/21/01 to Ridge Camp Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 08:24:51 -0500 From: LeeAnn To: VisitUs@4peaks.com Thanks for the note Martin - it was a pleasure to host your every-26-year thanksgiving dinner at Ridge camp. You really shouldn't wait so long again before enjoying it up there. Speaking of Ridge Camp - I would like to reserve it for Friday August 16 - Saturday August 24[2002].As I mentioned for a couple of the days I will have a few friends up, the rest will just be Sundancer and I again. Do you want me to send a deposit? I just took my film to be developed so will send more photos when I get it back! see you sometime soon - I am going to try and come up in the winter/spring somewhere along the way. Lee Ann Subject: RE: I did give you some photos from our trip last summer and a CD ROM Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2002 13:39:03 -0500 From: LeeAnn To: VisitUs@4peaks.com Hi again Martin - I am just putting the package together right now. I think you will like the photos - a good mix, although Sundancer takes fewer pictures of me than I take of her ... What address should I send it to? Lee Ann[Email transmission of photos didn't work. (??) Prints sent snail-mail.]
January 3, 2002 Hi Martin, I hope you are well and that you had a pleasant and peaceful holiday season. As promised, here are some photos from my last three trips to Ridge Camp at Fourpeaks--a true medley of seasons . . . Now all I need are some Winter and Spring photos. I'll have to work on some dates! Hope to see you soon, Lee Ann & Sundancer Subject: RE: The photos arrived!! Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 14:24:11 -0500 From: LeeAnn To: VisitUs@4peaks.com Hi Martin - glad to know that they made it ok! Sundancer is a "McKenzie River Husky" crossed with "Inuit Dog" (that's the piece that has the questionable wolf heritage - I personally don't think it is any closer than a hybrid grandparent). She was bred by a sled dog racer in Telluride Colorado. I usually just refer to her as a "Sled Dog". hope to visit again soon! Lee Ann

We well remember the visitor a year or so ago who complained about the unpleasant glare from the HTML default royal blue links. That lead us to entirely revamp our background and link colors, making them softer, more eye pleasing. And the Florida expert who warned us about frustrating visitors with blind links. We followed his advice and now carefully identify each link so visitors know before they "click" exactly where they're clicking to.
