And finally.. apparently a Salida, but it doesn't have the identifying marks. Either way, sweet as sugar, and gorgeous pages.

Good to know - I had my doubts, even though it came from a reputable source. I would say definitely NOT a Salida, then.

The easiest to find Danger Trail, but still pretty tough.
