Camera Shy

Sun Jun 1, 2008 9:08 am by McGehee 2 comments [Out West]

We have been doing scenic things—and taking pictures—but now the battery in Chris’ camera is dead and she didn’t bring the cable she normally uses to recharge it. Yesterday we tried to hike to Popo Agie (po-PO-zha) Falls, on the Middle Fork of the Popo Agie River, but the last quarter- half-mile of the 1.5-mile-long trail turned out to be a lot steeper and rougher than we were prepared for, so we turned back about where I took this pic (and this one) with my cell phone, which from Google Earth looks to be still a quarter-mile short of the end. We hadn’t planned on being on that trail for six hours; other people were passing us on the way up at nearly five o’clock. I think it’s us. Anyway, either we’ll try that trail again someday when we’re better prepared, or we’ll restrict our mountain climbing to those places we can drive right up to. The pictures Chris has taken so far will be uploaded eventually. I need to size the pics down to fit on people’s monitors.

BTW, while hunting a cable or recharger for my Chris’ camera, I found a cheap digital camera to replace my dead one, and am in the process of setting up to interface with the laptop. This after we’ve finished our “scenic” activities in these parts—we’re hitting the road again tomorrow and won’t be hesitating again for more than a night’s stay until we visit my late dad’s folks in Iowa. » Monday, 2 June 2008 @ 1:13 am You must be registered and logged in to comment.
