In that I'm about 350 miles >south of Disney on the Potomac, I stayed home. Maybe next time. >Cheers Wilber Hi Wilber! Given the scope of the LUG, that's close enough to call you "neighbor." There are about 3-4 more shots I want to take a look at maybe printing. I'll hopefully get to those this weekend but I don't want to scrape the barrel too much as in fact I only shot one roll of film on Saturday. I started with the intention of shooting more but: 1. It was dumping freezing rain and sleet. 2. It was really crowded and once I got what I thought was a decent spot I couldn't move. 3 Did I mention it was dumping freezing rain and sleet? :) After a while my fingers were so cold it was a challenge just to change lenses let alone reload. Each time I unbolted a lens I felt sure it was going to slip out of my hands and go crashing to the ground to be stomped underfoot and roll away where I wouldn't be able to reach it. All in all the experience was fun for the atmosphere, but physically it reminded me a lot of some of my colder infantry days and I was pretty happy to get home. Simon Stevens
