One more, for Jules:

Yesterday was pretty much just frittered away. Other than surfing the internet, and rearranging the truck after rolling up the sleeping bag. Yes, Doug, it was an overnight trip. Spent Thursday night in the cab of the truck, as a courtesy to the fellows sleeping in the cabin or bunkhouse who would have suffered through my snoring.

'Course, I suffered through their loud, alcohol enhanced arguing well past midnight.

The fellow camper who instead slept in the bed of his rig was treated to rain a quarter before one. And the third camper amongst the group had to drive his tent down the road to find sunshine to dry it the next morning.

Maybe sleeping fitfully in the cab wasn't so bad.

Being serenaded by snipe all night long was nice.

But next year, I may do like the feds and the guys from Capitol City, and stay at the lodge down the road.

(Oh, and Opalanne, I haven't forgotten your query... I'm using an Olympus Camedia C-750 for these shots. It's only 4 megapixels, but the 10X optical zoom was more important for what I want to shoot.)
