Daily Deviation 7/8/2015
Hello! My name is Ruth, though I am commonly known as kayaksailor (https://www.deviantart.com/kayaksailor) on DeviantArt.

I made the official switch from film to digital in May 2007 (about the same time as I joined DA) after getting my first dSLR, a Nikon D100, at a yard sale.

The acreage burned has topped 97,000 (compare that to Lake Tahoe at 120,000 acres). Mopping up and plans for re-forestation and flood control will continue.
I also want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone out in dA-land for helping me to reach an unexpected milestone of over 10

My daughter Caitlin ~Caitiekabob (https://www.deviantart.com/caitiekabob) and I had a wonderful two week adventure over on the other side of the US. We are west coasters with Cait having never been further east than Las Vegas NV in her life (Cancun Mexico when she was 3 doesn't really count :giggle:)
We went primarily to do a week of volunteer work at an archeological dig near the small town of Morganton, North Carolina. :thumb312424325: ( http://exploringjoara.org/ for more info.) It was an interesting experience working at what is believed to be the earliest European fort in what was to become the US, built in 1567. The powerful local Cawtaba Indians destroyed the settleme
