    I've got plenty of batteries and well for me it's CF cards. I'm a nut and actually carry a very "not for hiking" camera. I'm a Canon guy myself so that's what I tote but I also usually carry 2 lenses plus a tripod. It adds weight that would make most of the "gram weenies" have a heart attack

    I just got finished looking through all your images and you have some really great stuff in there!

    I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.

    Well thank you ... and if you've ever got the time might be fun doing a photo hike in the big ditch. Even if you're a Cannonite

    Heck yea I'd love to do something like that Hawk eye. I'd love to make the Forum hang but that week/weekend is BAD for me. My daughters birthday is the 25th so I'm always going to be unavailable around that time. I'm up for some other options though and I'll be forty graph'n on this trip w/ my brother so......
