Re: GFM or bust
I start packing tomorrow. Here's the plan: I'll travel to my friends' cabin in Ashe County, NY on Tuesday. About 7 hours from Pittsburgh. Stay there for the night and then head to the mountain. I'm going to try to find a hotel for Wednesday night, but that may not happen this late in the game. If that doesn't work I'll camp out on the mountain Wednesday night in addition to doing my traditional Thursday night camp-out. Then the weekend officially begins. Tomorrow I start working out how/what to pack on the motorcycle. I just bought myself a new sleeping bag that will pack much smaller than the one I've used in past years (and it's also not a sub-arctic temperature rated bag, either, so I hope I won't cook in it when the temperature goes above 40 F). Even with hard bags, a tank bag and a load of stuff strapped on the seat, it's going to be a real trick getting everything I need on the bike. It'll be interesting to see how it works out... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Above all, block out some time to explore the side roads off of and around the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you can, get down to the southwest end of NC, and find Route 28, along with the Cherohala Skyway, and some of the many side roads off of there.

I'm overloaded with film kit, and will have a bill for extra checked baggage by US Air, so sadly the 1DmII and Pentax lenses will not be making an outing this time. I'm shattered after packing, but very much looking forward to the trip. Our hosts in NJ are in party mood by the sounds of things, so I expect to look like Norm by the time I get up to GFM. Still be on email throughout. I'll try and post a pic or two at some point.

You have until then to live a peaceful photographic life. After that point you will not rest easily until you have purged a sudden craving for a digital rangefinder! LOL! Almost got an Epson R-D1 body the other day. It was mis-listed on a local auction site with misspelt name (Esspon RDI) and the bid went to 14 minutes before auction close at $430 ... then the snipers swooped in and took it up to $1600. Out of my pay grade for the moment. ;-) G -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
