With the crazy wind, I'm happy to get off the bike. tough work! <br /><br />I read the TS3 is good too. A prime competitor to the AW100. Lots of cameras is handy. I also have my T2i with me, but it's stashed away, and I have to park the bike and take off my gloves/helmet to use it properly. The AW100 is just so easy, and it is glove friendly. <br /><br />I know I am missing yellowstone... another time. It's not THAT far from MN. Beartooth is closed I think as is going to the sun highway. <br /><br />I did bag my first pass of the trip today... more on that in the next post.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-6589205754892563612012-04-30T19:46:22.388-05:002012-04-30T19:46:22.388-05:00Chris,

I'm quite happy with the geese vs giant cow. Wise choice. I'm, also, glad you passed up the dead porcupine photo-op. It's a slippery slope. Before long you'd find yourself stopping all the time to immortalize roadkill.<br /><br />I like bob's choice of words: scrumptious. Yes, your photos are just that.<br />~Keith,<br />Circle BlueKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-73636236968169277992012-04-30T16:48:36.061-05:002012-04-30T16:48:36.061-05:00I bet you wished you had your Ural when you attemp...I bet you wished you had your Ural when you attempted the steep hill with the giant cow ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-46947197781628026532012-04-30T11:26:02.041-05:002012-04-30T11:26:02.041-05:00Them are some serious bugs on that face shield.

Maybe we need to ask why the rattlesnakes don't cross the road? I'd think they like to sun themselves on the asphalt and sidewalk.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-2916751924691926472012-04-30T10:12:14.675-05:002012-04-30T10:12:14.675-05:00Chris:

I also purchased a Waterproof Camera, Lumix TS3 <em>(has GPS too)</em>.

I tried using the software to sync up later with a GPS track and the photos, but you have to keep the time of both devices in sync which can be a real pain. <br /><br />I've been wanting something like this built into the camera for years, and now it seems that many new cameras have it. awesome! <br /><br />I was being silly about the sign. I expect like other cold-blooded creatures they would be on the hot rocks enjoying the sun. :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-60727043461735363152012-04-30T10:01:32.266-05:002012-04-30T10:01:32.266-05:00lol.

I thought this trip I'd need the waterproofing to keep it safe. I'm glad I abandoned the cow as well.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-19397519897623346652012-04-30T09:58:56.840-05:002012-04-30T09:58:56.840-05:00There is some nice stuff west of I35/I29.

The GPS tagging looks like a neat feature. I had looked at GPS tracking devices that would record my route and could sync to a camera/pictures using the clock but, I don't usually have a problem remembering where I've been, but where a pic was from.<br />Don't be fooled by the rattlesnakes on sidewalk signs. I feel that in cooler weather, they might just come out and lay on that slab to warm up!Erik Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051303728879129181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-9321100799894580702012-04-30T07:54:13.988-05:002012-04-30T07:54:13.988-05:00I hope rattlesnakes can read!

Besides, the pic you took was great for showing the scale of the thing.
