Shoe,
I agree 100 percent.  I look at the photos of my 2002 hike soooo often.  And
the memories that come flooding back - its the next best thing to being
there.  So this is great advice for all the Class of 2004.  Take a lot of
photos.  Take notes.  Keep a journal.  You want to be able to relive your
hike for years to come.  And you will find that the photos that mean the
most to you after the hike are the ones of other hikers.  Or better yet, the
ones of you with other hikers.
If you don't see me on the trail, it'll be because I'll be hiding behind the
lens.

> LWOP, you won't be sorry going digital. I did, and have NO regrets. I shot
tons of photos, which I would not have done with film. You can even shoot
pictures of signs, to hep you remember where you were. In fact, I recommend
this. Don't forget to take lots of people pictures, and if you are shooting
scenery, consider having a friend in there for the "human scale," otherwise
it's hard to convey a sense of how big everything is. My motto: when in
doubt, take the picture. My photos are treasures to me now, and it's
shocking how much one has forgotten until a picture jogs the old brain cells
into remebering. Have a great hike, Shoe
