• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I spent a month touring Russia in 1993. I can attest to the camaraderie the Russian people feel for Americans and they love our culture. They would be great allies if we could just get the politics out of the way.
 
Russian?????

Being of Russian heritage ( Ukrainian ) on my mothers side-------- It would be nice if our to countries could be allies. But it won't happen unless the Mars attacks.

Back porch??

No ---- the back porch faces the wrong direction----- But from the top of Mt Rose ( about 11,000 ft ) I can see Valdavastock on a good day.:joke::joke::joke::joke:.

Ya see now that Pete and I can :joke: around without getting political or pi$$y.

I flew back to the US on Aeroflot from Vladivostok. If I'd known it was that close ... nah, I'd still take Aeroflot ... those pilots land like it's a bombing run ... once airborne, it's like a big party with the passengers passing around vodka and black bread and garlic and salt and some other stuff I didn't recognize

Wonderful people. Thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ulan Ude (on the Trans-Siberian railway!), then Vladivostok.

I was reading the Telegraph (UK) online the other day & up popped an ad for the Trans Siberian Rly. Moscow to Beijing in a private railcar. $6,000 - $18,000US for the 16 day journey depending on the class of your accommodation. You pass through Ulan Ude & Ulan Bator.
I wasn't tempted at my age, but it would be a fascinating trip.

I was fortunate to be able to travel with a Russian companion on a business visa, which gave me free reign to avoid the tourist hotels and pricing structure. It's a lot cheaper for Russians!
