<p>Nice Work Bob! I always like to finish my adventures like that! :)<br>

Yury, I used to vacation on Hilton Head as a kid and that brought back some memories. Thanks!<br>

I had the great misfortune of breaking my 2 week old K-1 last week. I was out shooting in the field and getting ready to change locations when I forgot to tighten the ball head. I set the tripod on a spot quickly to gather up my gear and the loose head flopped down, unbalancing the tripod I had carelessly not chosen a great spot for. It hit a rock right on top of the body and cracked it and now it doesn't recognise aperture info from my lenses. I sent it to Precision today, crossing my fingers I don't have a Precision Horror Story! :(<br>

Last shot before the accident, K-1 & Tamron 28-75/2.8<br>

Moon & Jupiter (and Earth)<br>

Yesterday I took the KS-2/18-135 combo mountain biking on a challenging high altitude trail.<br>

The climb is steep and can't be entirely ridden so some sections require pushing or even carrying the bike. But the views aren't bad and the downhill seems like it goes on forever!<br>

<p>Thanks Matt. Sorry to hear about your K-1. I figured with all of the amazing Colorado Craft Brews available to you, you might enjoy a post outing beverage. Very nice last shot at least.</p>

 

<p>Thanks Bob. Hopefully it was just the last shot for now, not the final one!<br>

I'll just full up my growler with fine locally brewed craft beer and drown my sorrows... ;)</p>
