  1. Did you find the penny? Did you get a photo of it? I'd like to see it. Cute video.

  2. Found both of them. There is a kind of a trick to it. You spit on the side that will be on the rail and it stays put better. I added the photo of the pennies to the bottom of the blog entry.
    PS to Bobbie and Jim, the forecast for tomorrow night is snow ! The first day of Summer ! He, he, Rocky Mountain camping, it's a never ending supprise.
