Steve,
The digital cameras are great. I just have a cheap Olympus with 4 MPX, but I carry it all the time and it takes great pictures. Only thing I miss is the 60 MM zoom lens that my 35 MM Pentax had. This one only has a 10 power zoom. I have a huge amount of money in a high end 35 MM Nikon with various lens and I doubt if I have taken 10 rolls of film with it. I just got tired of carrying around that bag. I like a small camera that I can stickin my pocket and the Olympus fits that perfectly. It isn't nearly as good as the newer ones with the longer zooms and more MPXs, but it does the job for me. I have looked at some newer models and just really can't justify the price for what I do.
If you have trouble loading the pictures into your gallery, just give me a yell and we will get them in. I am still sorting through the 100 pictures that Lil Mike sent me from the Battifields around Gettysburg.
To bad you couldn't stop by Shasta Lake. I just live 10 miles from the dam. Getting lost in Calif. is easy. I still do it all the time. And they are always changing the highways it seems so every time I go back some place after a year or so, it is all different.
