If you want to learn more about Shutterfly and sign up for your own free membership with unlimited storage for your photos, go to The Gouge.

Also you'll note with many photos that they are merely numbered and not labeled. For some reason Shutterfly does not upload the photo's metadata, which contains descriptive labels along with dates and GPS locations whenever possible. Shutterfly told us they actually strip this metadata from the photos when they are uploaded. This is unfortunate since the service they provide (otherwise) is so helpful, easy and free.

We have added a MS Word file to each Shutterfly album that provides the photo's description to cope with this situation for the time being until something else develops.

You will note that the photos shown on the Shutterfly site are not in any particular order. They have been grouped by activity and year but beyond that, Shutterfly just presents a montage of the photos in that grouping. If you download that photo it will still have a number assigned to it as its filename. Use that number to couple with the list we are providing that gives a more verbose description of the photo. We apologize for this kludgy arrangement.

If Shutterfly ever changes their policy to allow metadata we'll upload all the originals again.

If you don't have MS Office (so you can read the MS Word file), don't despair. Go to The Gouge and read the entry dealing with a free MS Office-compatible program called Open Office.
