I have the ISO warning indicator set to 800 ... Normally I try to do
the same as Cory, leave it on ISO 200 for best quality, but between
200 and 400 the differences are so negligible it doesn't seem to
matter. The warning helps me remember to switch it back after a stint
in a low-light situation where I quickly punched it up to 800-3200.

Hello Cory,
Valid question. I have answered it once, but I'll do so again as it
is easy to miss because of the volume of the list.
This kind of terrain has lots of shadows and light areas. Depending
on the lens used, DOF desired and subject, I was switching the ISO
back and forth quite often. Sometimes I forgot to switch it. My
experience with the D is that the difference in image quality between
200 and 400 is very negligable, not like film 200 and 400. So my
concern wasn't as high as if I had been shooting 800 or faster.
Hope this explanation helps.
