  1. Don't just "drive through" the Tetons, plan on spending

    several days there as well. Lots of photographic

    spots within 50' of the RV (Snake River overlook

    along the main highway, several places on the

    interior road, Jenny Lake, Signal Mountain, Oxbow

    Bend, Willow Flats, etc.). Lots of wildlife to see

    as well, especially at Oxbow Bend, Willow Flats, Jackson

    Lake lodge (you don't have to stay there to walk through

    the lodge to the overlook out back). There are also

    great views from the Gros Ventre mountains across

    Jackson Hole. Plan on using a 100mm or longer for

    great scenic shots from there. You can spend several

    days there and not see it all.

     

    Most NPS campgrounds don't have hookups, but do

    have a dump station. Colter Bay has a commercial

    campground in addition to the NPS campground - a great

    place to stay. Signal mountain NPS campground is

    centrally located in the Grand Tetons. And I second

    the motion on getting reservations... it'll save you

    and the wife a lot of worry.

     

    In Yellowstone, NPS campgrounds are at Grant Village

    and Fishing Bridge. Commercial campgrounds with

    hookups can be found at the edge of the park in

    West Yellowstone and Gardiner Mt. Plan on plenty

    of driving time between stops, speed limits are 45 and

    winding mountain roads take extra time, especially in an

    RV.

     

    Only other suggestion is take me with you...

     

    Enjoy your trip!

  2. I have read that the Elan II flash exposure compensation is

    added to the "automatic" reduction. So you could set the

    flash exposure compensation to +1.5 stops and you would be

    back at zero... it takes a lot of button pushing and fumbling,

    and is prone to errors since there is no easy way to know

    when the automatic compensation is in effect.
