Hey, my digital isn't bad but I have a problem with motion. I've heard others saying the same thing. I'm not sure if this can be amended with a faster shutter speed but that's probably going to be what costs in the end if they do. The saving grace is that for motion shots I can get a few seconds as a movie clip and it's just as good as a picture. Of course, by the time I get the camera turned on the damn turkey's halfway across the forest.

Hey y'all. Just got out of Glacier. Sorry it wasn't a TT trip, dub.

BTW - Montana/Wyoming F'N Rock! Don't know what I'll do when I get back to the flatlands of the East.

Goodnight. Might hit the Tetons for a dayhike. ;)

What every you look at if it's used have a mechanic that you trust take a look at it to see if there are any repairs that may be required that the owner or dealer failed to mention.

So Scorchy, tell me whats the cost of living like in Philly? Seems to be more jobs there than anywhere else. I'm guessing it's like any other big city in terms of commuteing from the suburbs and such and the whole "inner city" school situation and all.

That's alright. The martha stewart side needs to start backpacking so good for them for actually getting one trip together this year besides the PNW gang. Maybe now a few of them will actually start backpacking.
Dub

cost of living isn't too high in philly... it depends on what section you live in, just like any other city. you should live out in the suburbs like me and then commute to the city if you're working there. it's only about a half hour/45 tops. plus you'll only be an hour and a half away from PA AT/Hawk Mt. area. Lots of hiking in PA.

Am I doing a good recruiting job???

Roam, Pennsylvania is also probably the least expensive of all the Northeastern states to live in. Not sure if that holds true in the Philly suburbs as well though.

Lots of big corporations to work for across the river here in Jersey, but the price tag for living goes way up as you cross the Delaware River. Most of us currently in NJ are looking for ways to get out...
PhantomSoul

Another possibility (which many people do -- and since you seem to like driving so much) is to live in the eastern Lehigh Valley (Easton, PA area) and commute to NJ. Bedminster and Bridgewater (homes of AT&T and Pfizer, among others) are 1/2 hour away.
PhantomSoul

Roam, you should definitely come to East PA -- besides, I need a buddy to bag Adirondack Peaks with -- LZ and Pennsy are way too far ahead, and Bobo's left us all in the dust, having only like 4 or 5 peaks left...

ok, ok, ok, ok, ok

If I ever do bail on the South, eastern PA will likely be the first choice, its central and has a lot to offer on its own.

Prolly gonna give the South one more shot this time around. Another year or two, who knows.

Hey Dub, maybe Pennsylvania isn't the greatest state, but it beats the hell out of Ohio, and it definitely beats the hell out of New Jersey.

Now, that being said, I'll have to agree with LZ in that New York kicks all 3 states' a$$e$...
