It has always stuck in my craw just a bit. And perhaps my compliments should have gone to Mrs. Jimbo, but I have enjoyed this series of photos. Really. A) Jimbo I've enjoyed your pics & there are some really good ones contrary to what you say about your photographic skill. B) w/respect to S2's above comment: I don't make it a habit of taking up other people's offenses, but I cannot express how angry I got at Stu. I don't even know Stu! Linda your pictures are wonderful! I hope someone fishes Conmee out! Arghh!!!!! -Tom

	Other that the fact that I think Stu is a self-absorbed, narcissistic, prick who lacks any discernable writing skill and likely hasn't been in possession of an original thought in 20 years... I really don't have an opinion. After my first year's subscription to BWJ I feel I knew everything of value that Stu had to offer and only renewed my subscription out of loyalty to some of the folks here who contributed (which is the only reason I kept thumbing it in future years ... in hopes of finding a nugget here and there). When it came time for a recent move, I boxed up all the copies of the journal I'd collected over the years and sent them, gratis, to a friend. Somehow, thereafter, I never got around to finding my renewal notice (of which there were several laying around). So to paraphrase one of the comments Stu made to me when talking photography at 'copia (Stu, "When you've seen one sunset picture, you've seen them all."), I say, "When you've read one Stu Osthoff article, you've read them all."

	If today's pic seems a little "blurry" to anyone, it's not your eyesight. Rather, it was taken through the screen netting on my hammock tent. Safety comes first on my trips. In this case, I preferred the safety of my shelter to high probability of being exsanguinated by skeeters who were on the prowl... some of which loomed nearly as large as the bird on the flag. Later, Jimbo

	DD, I found your candid UN-PC FILTERED " non" opinion refreshing to say the least. I did the same as you for a while; I renewed my subscription long after I lost interest in MOST of the content because I enjoyed reading stories by people I know from here. But, since many post links to other sources the final straw for me was when they started rating the campsites and giving in-depth info that would seem to go against the idea of a little sweat equity/self discovery mentality most of us have. With over-use being a big issue in certain areas, rating sites 4-5 stars can't be a good solution to that problem.

So, what do you really think? Your opinion rather succinctly states mine. It's not too surprising that your writing skills have been overlooked by King Stu. Well said dd!

	And we know that all QJ photographers are first-rate. Being overlooked by Stu is a badge of honor.

	So we all agree that the BWJ has major flaws and Stu has a personality problem, but at least he is publishing something which may get new people interested in wilderness camping and occasionally publishes an article/photos which some people find interesting. I don't think the BWJ has to score a ten to have some value to its readers. So the BWJ is better than nothing.

	Well I didn't mean to start a Stu centered rant... Back to the original comment: Jimbo, great pics, thanks for submitting! (except for that pink stew one... )
