4 days in/around Moab. No riding, just hiking and illegal camping. Mostly random snapshots. Harrowing return journey in a '73 Beetle involving six inches of packed snow, 3/4 a mile of pushing it, getting a push start from lesbian truck drivers, and the aaa towtruck doing donuts.

What kind of camera do you use? I'm sure the setting had a little something to do with it, but those look really great.

Ha, weren't any...she was just freaking out. BLM land+winter=easy.

Didn't get stuck, there's a short somewhere in the headlight circuit that is overwhelming the generator...Wouldn't start again. In a blizzard. Awesome.

Just a D200 with a Nikon 17-70mm kit lens on all of these.
