Travelling in a Van thru badlands custer, etc for 3 weeks. (Leaving my son home this time to Party or "Play House with women he won't tell me about" while the Ole Man is away :-( ) Can't .wait to see how my HX100 catches wildlife out there!
Of course taking My R1. And taking H5 to backup Hx100

Probably post a few pics while on the road :-) Also taking my Boggie 3D cam for fun

All packed! And I have that new B&W polarizer for the Hx100 which I really like. Also got my Buck Knife and Heavy Duty Bear Spray. Guy got mauled to death there this week. He had no Bear Spray :-( May have helped him? Another guy in tetons got attacked but hit the bear with 3 quick sprays and it tookoff.

Have a good time and may the lord keep you safe.

Yep, while the cat is away the mouse will play, I hope all will be fine while you are gone.

Looking forward to seeing your photos.

Sounds wonderful! If there's any more room in the van, keep your eyes peeled for hitchhikers along I-80 as you pass south of Chicago, especially one who fits the description below:
Tall
Glasses
50-ish
HX100V hanging from his neck.
:D
 
Bill,

Have a great trip! Don't know what to tell you about bears except stay away from

them. Yeah, I read the same article about the bear attack--not good! Maybe you could blend in with a small group that has an older slow man in it like me. Concealed carry with a shotgun probably isn't a viable option either..Hope to hear from you again.

Bear Spray? You're a fearsome-enough critter that any bear would panic and run if it saw you coming.

I'll keep a lookout but you gotta sit on a cooler!

Well, at least I have the biggest most powerful bear spray I bought last year :-)

Yeah, got a lot planned for 3 short weeks. No shotgun but on my trips I do have Big Buck knife on my belt for self defense of any kind...probably won't be much use with a bear but maybe a mountain lion or Mugger ;-)

Well, I cut up a "Beanie Baby" (In a Humane Way) and attached it over the Hx100 mike. Will see if it helps any.

Now then, let's have a good close-up shot of that bear before you hit it with the spray! ;-)

Good luck and have fun!

Sure do envy you, Bill! Be sure to bring back lots of great photos. I want to go to Yellowstone before long as that is one park I have yet to visit.

As for bears (and other animals) out there, when I see and hear of some of the ways people act around them, it is a wonder there isn't a serious incident every day.

Take care and don't feed the wildlife. ;-)

Take the scenic route! Life is too short to do otherwise.

Just have to say "howdy", Denise! Nice to see you here again.
