Been out of town, and was just now able to read all of your report.(I scanned the beginning when you first put it out.)  Nice report-well written...seems you had a fantastic trip! I have to remark on how nice your photos were , too.  Thanks for sharing . :thumbup

I'm glad you enjoyed the report Knaflec......

Yup nice time, I thought last years trip was one of the best ever but this year was just as good but for different reasons.

The camera is a Panasonic lumix. Compact, shockproof to 6' and most importantly, waterproof. Decent zoom for a smaller camera. I picked it up (like much of my gear) based on recommendations here on QJ.
