    Brazil: The Pantanal

    WOW! Great trip reports. I'm fascinated with South America and would love to visit someday. Looks like a trip of a lifetime.

    Thanks @Jon Carbaugh and @Rockskipper I will play around with removing the lights and see how it looks.

    Album Weather, Storms and Clouds

    These are from a few weeks ago out my back yard. Question for the more experienced photographers here, how do I get the foreground to show up better? Everything I tried to lighten up the foreground just blew out the lightning. I'm obviously not very experienced at post processing. LOL

    What did you buy today?

    @Jackson I agree with Yvonne, just be careful with your boots/bindings and make sure they're compatible. I made that mistake once and had to return a set of bindings because they wouldn't work with the boots I had. I had purchased an "older" pair of Dynafit bindings off a clearance rack but...

    Pieps DSP Avalanche Transceiver Upgrade offer

    Any winter enthusiasts own a Pieps DSP Sport or Pro avalanche transceiver? I received an email from Backcountry.com (where I purchased mine) yesterday with the following offer to upgrade my transceiver to one of their latest generation models. My understanding, from some social media posts...

    COVID-19 Affecting Your Plans?

    Indeed. Screen time and alcohol use have both increased, unfortunately. Glad you were able to get out last weekend, even if it was cut short. Yes, we need to try and meet up one weekend soon!

    COVID-19 Affecting Your Plans?

    "How has Covid-19 affected my plans?" Well, I've hesitated posting this, and I don't post it for sympathy, but just to get it off my chest. Covid has affected my plans in a pretty negative way. It happened so gradually that I didn't even realize it was happening. At first it was that we...

    COVID-19 Affecting Your Plans?

    I realize your comment above is probably specific to the Parks in Wyoming (Yellowstone and Grand Teton) but I just returned from a trip in Glacier this past weekend. I can say that from what I saw, it seemed that GNP is doing a good job of distancing people, at least at the two places we...

    COVID-19 Affecting Your Plans?

    We leave tomorrow for our trip to Sperry Chalet in Glacier National Park. We are hoping that by hiking into the Chalet we will be far enough from the main roads to get away from the large crowds. The stories from the past week or two since they open Going to the Sun Road have been pretty...

    Any recommendations for 5 days hiking in Wyoming, Idaho or MT? This is around July 15-20. Not counting on Glacier being open

    When in doubt, there always seems to be a Falcon Guide to reference. https://www.amazon.com/Hiking-Beartooths-Regional-Bill-Schneider/dp/1560444274

    What did you buy today?

    Nice! I've been trying to buy kettlebells for my home gym since the gyms closed here and can't find anything anywhere. It seems everyone decided to complete their home gyms in the past month. I'm guessing that means I'll be able to get some equipment real cheap in the next 6 months. LOL

    COVID-19 Affecting Your Plans?

    We have a reservation at Sperry Chalet in Glacier in July. So far, those reservations haven't been cancelled, but i'm not very optimistic.

    I spent all weekend moving my class to online also. It was a "challenge", to say the least. LOL
