REI, good idea, and yes they do have it. http://www.rei.com/search?query=garmin+montana&button.x=45&button.y=17 Looks like good prices too when you consider the 10% member discount (I've been an REI member since 1970). REI periodically comes out with 30% discount coupons, but GPS and some...

Good to hear that you like it because I was keeping it in mind for when my Garmin 276C gets replaced. I'd like to try to find/google-up a 276C owner who switched to the Montana so that I could get a direct comparison. Are there any things you particularly like or dislike about it, Boyd?

I like that then and now photo. That wee tree in the left foreground has now grown up. Yow, I never saw foam like that down there! There used to be a tiny bit around the edges sometimes, but I never saw anything even remotely like that. I think that maybe John McPhee's statement that all the...

Unfortunately there are a lot of problems with the new Garmin Montana: http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?s=fb84ef7e531ba2cf244b4910e477d5d8&showtopic=279922&st=50

OK, so WAAS can give a more accurate position reading when stationary. Is there any reason why not to leave it on all the time when moving? I don't think so. Then why even have an option to turn it off?

Shorpy website is like great museum of old photographs. I did some - uh - cranberry pickin myself down there ...couple a photos on that thread I made of my old PB pictures.

" Don't know enough about this stuff to understand if it will increase accuracy or if its just a redundant one, but more is probably better" Same here. I have the option to turn WAAS on or off on my GPS, but I don't know what difference it makes.

Driving around the PB roads in the 60's through 90's I met up with plenty of sand traps but I don't recall encountering totally impassable collapsed roads as above. I guess I just wasn't down there after hurricanes. Here's another one at another place and time: road between Death Valley and...

That resale value of that rattlesnake is virtually nill.

When I used to drive all around the back roads in the PB in the late 60's through 90's I'd encounter bad sand traps but never busted down impassable roads like that. Maybe I just wasn't down there after a hurricane.

Good luck, you guys! Times Square Cam: http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/

Here's the Belmar Beach cam http://www.belmarcam.com/ Can't see much there either. Just noticed 46er posted a better link on the other thread: http://www.eastcoastcams.com/newjerseysurfcams.htm Hey, right now it's even pouring rain here in central Arizona!

Oh, the modern name for Rotten Pond is Ramapo Lake.

Is it illegal to swim in Lake Oswego now too? That's about the only place in the Pines I used to go to swim (except when falling out of my canoe on the rivers). It even has a beach. Just about everything is illegal in NJ and NY. I used to live in upper Manhattan not far from the GW Bridge...

Yeah, that night was a bit too exciting. I read your link. This technology is rather fascinating to me. I love the effects it produces. There's quite a bit to it, not so simple, lots of creativity involved. I like it. I'd need a better digicam, like a slr, though. I just have a little pocket...

True, not so spectacular, but I really like this one.

That one looks like the best, BI, according to this review anyway: http://captainkimo.com/hdr-software-review-comparison Picturenaut is another free program, Pancoast, and it sounds like it might be easier to use than Luminance. Intriguing technology. http://www.hdrlabs.com/picturenaut/

Thanks, Ben. The Quaker meetinghouse that I remember best was the Old Yellow Meetinghouse in Monmouth County, NJ. It was on my favorite bicycle tour route that I used to ride in central NJ a number of decades ago. Some of my other old Pine Barrens photos are posted on these threads (I guess it...

Some of those photos are surreal.
