Sounds great Ken. I visited Smokey Mountains NP and I envy you your
adventure if the Porcupines is similar.
That Chinook wind must be 'Fohn' wind: where the sides of the valley
cooler at a higher rate than the centre and you get the cooler air
sliding down the slope. If Frank van Lindert were still reading this
List, he would put me right - Met men always do ;-)
I will be packing my OMs, and perhaps my RF645, and trogging off to
Ireland, to the shores of Galway Bay to stay for a week on the edge of
the Burren in County Clare. I plan to walk through the Burren, on the
coastal path and to see the Cliffs of Moher. In exchange for her
letting me stop and take loads of photos, I shall take my wife to one
of those restaurants where they eat sea creatures ....
I should like to take my sons, but they don't want to holiday with
their parents any longer :-(
I shall also buy her an Olympus Mju 80 or Wide or something like that;
I shall have to ignore the fact that the widest aperture at the
telephoto end is something like f11 or 13!
Films: PanF (with tripod?) and HP5+, Provia 400 (Ireland doesn't need
the saturation of Velvia ;-)) and Fuji Superia 400 for the slow Mju
lens.
