About Me The top of the mountain is more an afterthought than a destination for me. Its the trees and creatures, the weather and people along the way that make the walking good.

I also looked at the Canon G1-X, but have you seen how slow the file writing is? It's no different from my Ricoh GXR. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J4XjXx-lTY&feature=related

Re: My SUL outfit
Well, at least you're not being too modest! ;^) Wouldn't last too long in a Japanese summer, though. Not that low in the foothill forests. The mosquitoes and black flies are horrendous!

Thought I'd add to the stash: Resting at the top of Mt. Asahi in the Asahi Range in Yamagata. One of the hikers I met was carrying a six pack of cold beer! That was like heaven in a can!...
