  1. HI GREG AND KARIN,
    ENJOYING YOUR POST
    WONDERFUL PICTURES.
    ARE YOU STILL USEING YOUR NIKON, MIRRORLESS ?
    BAILEY SENDS HER HELLO.
    WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO HOLE IN THE WALL, THURS.
    MERRILL AND BARBARA

    • Hey Barbara and Merrill,

      Thanks for keeping up with us. Yes, I’m still using the Nikon V2, and I love it and am getting quite used to it – – – but I bought a 70-300 lens for it ($$$$$), which is a 190-810mm equivalent. That’s the lens I used to shoot the horned owl. It’s a fabulous lens, very fast to focus, plus it has an auxiliary manual-focus ring for fine-tuning. Lots of fun.

      We’ll be headed home in a day or two, and then out to family in Vegas for Xmas – – not headed for Hole in the Wall until (maybe) January or February.

      Have a grand time, great to hear from you….
      G.

  2. Not much to say other than I am enjoying your posts.
    Ever tried ham radio? I think it might go well with your back country exploring.

    • Art,

      I’ve thought about ham radio occasionally. I’ve also considered CB, since there are likely to be lots of local subscribers. CB is of course a junkyard, with very limited range. Ham is much better, but I’m not sure what I’d be able to accomplish (support-wise) with a contact hundreds or thousands of miles away. It also has range limitations, especially in canyons and deep valleys.

      My solution for now is the InReach, a satellite communicator that lets me text/email from anywhere in the world. I use it for (minimal) communication with family and friends, and more importantly as an SOS backup for that hope-it-doesn’t-happen emergency.
