Subject: [OM] Wyoming Trip
>Hi y'all,
>
>Executive Summary: Made a trip to Wyoming and posted some pictures:

>
>Longer version: Mitchelle and I flew from Atlanta to Salt Lake City on
>September 30th, rented a car, and drove up to Yellowstone Park for a ten
>day visit. I normally go there every fall for a fly fishing trip but this
>time, with Mitchelle along, it was limited mainly to sightseeing and
>photography. I carried the OM-4 (loaded with Fuji Velvia) and the OM-2n
>(loaded with Fuji Superia 200). My thought was that the OM-2n would be the
>walking around camera and that the OM-4 would be used mainly on a
>tripod. As it turned out the weather was unusually hot when we arrived
>there (highs in the upper 80's) and the skies were absolutely clear. So,
>part of the time I carried the OM-2n over one shoulder with the 75-150mm
>zoom mounted and had the OM-4 over the other shoulder with the 35-75mm on
>it and left the tripod in the car. The 24mm f2.8 was stuck in a pants
>pocket. That combination sure drew some strange looks from our fellow
>tourists. :-)
>
>Our flight out was only a couple of weeks after WTC attack. I didn't feel
>like causing any problems at the airport with security so I left my film in
>the LowePro with the gear and ran it through the x-ray machine. I carried
>mailers with me and mailed the exposed film back to a lab here in Atlanta
>as it was shot. That seemed to work out well as a lot of the
>slides/negatives were ready to be picked up when we got back into town and
>the one zap didn't appear to hurt the film. But, guess that may not be an
>option anymore what with the changes being made due to the anthrax attacks.
>
>All in all it was fun trip. It had been 6-7 years since Mitchelle had been
>out to Yellowstone with me and it was good to have her and the cameras
>along instead of the fly rods and waders.
>
>Later,
>Johnny
