Index of Subjects I recall the thread about pink/purple sand. Fortunately, it and all the subsequent ones in the thread are still available for all to see. You have only to visit the index of the archive at: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Environment/FNSN/MList/ This is the new NatureNS archive, introduced to us by the administrator, Doug Linzey on August 16th. To find the message you're looking for, do a search, not on "purple", but on "pink", and you'll find that the original question was posed by Sherman Williams on May 18th. It's message #6485, at: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Environment/FNSN/MList/200705/6485.html Then just navigate through "next message in thread". When you reach the end of that thread, go back to the index, and search on "purple sand" to locate the beginning of a new thread, message #6502 on the same subject posted on May 19th. http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Environment/FNSN/MList/200705/6502.html cheers, Bob Lindsay Dartmouth Stephen Shaw wrote: > Recapping an earlier post, my daughter & friend drove down to the Keji Seaside > Adjunct yesterday from Halifax.
