...and plunked down our new kitchen tent (the last one suffered multiple catastrophic failures):
It's supposed to be our new kitchen... and at 13ft by 9ft, you'd think it would be big enough... But, it's not. It may well be 13ft by 9ft --But only at the bottom... And then it promptly rained for three hours while Carlene and I, and of course, Roscoe the Wonder Dog slept in the van. The next morning, The lingering mist in the forest was lit very nicely by the rising Sun...
The view from our campsite is amazing (no doubt helped by the altitude... 5216ft)!
The peak looking North...
Here is one of the ridgeline running Northeast:
Flowers we've come across that we have no idea what to call:
The bad news? My camera is dying --and worse, they don't make 'em like this anymore. My Minolta Dimage A1 has the largest operating envelope of any camera on the market, and it was made 5 years ago. It's been a great tool. I've carried it EVERYWHERE I go for years, from weddings to the top of mountains. You'll notice the black triangle in the bottom lefthand corner of the ridgeline shot. The anti-shake mechanism is also Ka-Put and the viewfinder is busted. But, I love this camera and I'll have to see if someone can fix it. Minolta sold it's camera operations to Konica and then Konica/Minolta went Ka-Put. I am so bummed...
The search for a comparable replacement begins... It's sure to be a long, depressing exercise in futility.
