* This file contains the slide objects to be presented in the photo gallery and   *
* trip journal. The MakeCaptions1 function defined elsewhere will use the objects *
* found in the "slides" (case sensitive) array. Each array element will contain a *
* single Slide object which means it must have a reference ID, link, width, and   *
* height. The reference ID string, the width and height are integers, the link    *
* is a string. To define where the hyperlink text within the link goes surround   *
* it the meta-tag <ref></ref> pair.																							  *
*																																									*

* Parameters for the Slide function call are (reference, link text, width, height *
* and copyright string. The first two are required. 															*

A wonderful old building that is now used for gatherings like this. However, anyone can use the facility. 08:07.<span id=\"hide\">You'll need <a href=\"www.apple.com/quicktime\"><strong>Apple's QuickTime</strong></a> to view this or some other <strong>MPEG-4</strong> player.</span>", 320, 240, "2004", "movie");
slides[1] = new Slide("02", "<ref>Abbey and Julie.</ref> Abbey's Julie and Siler's daughter. She's about 6 months old now. I bet it's fair to say that she's seen more of the outdoors by this time than many kids ten times her age. We're at the North Country Trail trailhead at Big Star Road. 10:36.");
slides[2] = new Slide("03", "The NCT wanders through <ref>forests and meadows</ref> in this part of the state. The dog is Walker. 11:06.");
slides[3] = new Slide("04", "Maybe this meadow is <ref>more like a fen</ref> since there is definitely water laying on the ground. A fen falls between a wetland and meadow. Water can cover the ground, is often moving, but there isn't so much of it that you get a swamp. Typically, at least here you find coarse grasses or sedge. 11:07.");
slides[4] = new Slide("05", "<ref>A small bit of blue comfort.</ref> The NCT is blazes with 2 x 6 inch blue blazes. Side trails are balzed in white. While the trail is certainly blazed there are far fewer blazes on the NCT than other major blazed trails like the AT. 12:27.");

slides[6] = new Slide("07", "I don't know if <ref>this little lake</ref> has a name, but it sure was a nice sspot for lunch. In fact, each group stopped here for a while. I think we stayed for a good half hour (if anyone knows the name please let me know). This spot is about 4 miles from the trailhead. 12:46.");
slides[7] = new Slide("08", "I think <ref>that is Eric standing on the enw bridge.</ref> This bridge replaces an old bridge that had to go. While the National Forest Service designed it it was built mostly by NCT volunteers - in a single day. Cedar Creek flows under 16-Mile Road. 14:32.");
slides[8] = new Slide("09", "We're now on the second leg of this 13.5 or so mile hike. The first leg ended at 16-Mile road, about 8 miles, and about half the group called it a day there. This section is considerably more hilly. We'll pass by several lakes. 16:02.");
slides[9] = new Slide("10", "<ref>I believe this is Highbanks Lake.</ref> I'm basing this opinion on the fact that it's the second lake we pass and we think we saw a boat on it and there is a camp on the lake. Besides, what else can it be? 16:05.");

slides[12] = new Slide("13", "Although they're hard to see in the thumbnail <ref>the larger picture shows the stars clearly enough.</ref> The night has gotten nippy - 20 &deg;F or less heading to a low in the low to mid-teens - and the sky is crystal clear. If only we had had Northern Lights to view. This shot was taken from the vantage point of my Virga Tarptent entrance. 02:34.");

slides[14] = new Slide("15", "<ref>Today we would pass by quite a few meadows or maybe even fen.</ref> Far ore so than yesterday. I once asked what causes a meadow but it turns out the more proper question in these parts is what causes the forests since meadowlands are the more natural sate according to Siler. 13:10.");
slides[15] = new Slide("16", "<ref>Standing on a bridge looking down.</ref> If Joy hadn't pointed out the still ince patterns I am sure I wouldn't have noticed. What a lovely little creek with a meadow on one side and pines surrounding us. 14:54.");
slides[16] = new Slide("17", "<ref>The hike is almost done.</ref> Our final stroll through a pine plantation before we reach the end of the hike and say goodbye to everyone. 15:21.");
