Thanks Isaac. I’m very excited, the developer has asked me to do some testing on a new version he just released. I’ll be testing this while I’m traveling for work this week.

That’s pretty neat. Someday, we should be able to use our cell phone as a GPS unit to hike/backpack in the wildness. The technology is already there but needs some coding with the software.

@Jason
Hey Jason, thanks for the kudos! It was a nice day for sure but sure is a long drive for a dayhike. I want to go out there again sometime. I have some unfinished business I need to take care of involving some abandoned buildings. Specifically a cabin and a barn that are not too far off the trail that can be seen on Google Earth. Looks to be a great photographic opportunity.

Perhaps we can all get together this year for a photo hike somewhere.

Talk to you later.
Jay

Hi Jay! This is Jason (friend of Lance, Ken and Kelsie from over on Flickr). I just wanted to give you a big thumbs up on your blog, it’s a great site. Thanks for sharing about the Ozette Loop. Gosh darn it, I came really, really close to going there last weekend. At the last minute I decided instead to go up to Mt. Rainier for a little snowshoeing.

I like the looks of Sand Point. I can’t wait to do the loop hike, the coast out there is amazing. I overnighted at Cape Alava last year, just did the boardwalk there and back.

Jon, I like that image also. Unfortunately its kind of blurry if viewed much larger than what I posted. If I had used a tripod, it would have come out much better. HDR has come a long way…

Thanks everyone. I just realized that I didn’t even mention on the blog all the eagles flying around out there. I remember not so long ago, a person would be hard pressed to see a bald eagle in the wild. They seem so common nowadays that they are almost an afterthought. Unfortunately my camera set up is not so good for birding.

I really like your boardwalk photo, Jay. How about posting it on the West Sound Photography Group website? Forest images are hard to shoot, especially on a sunny day. You really brought out the tecture.

Nice report. I need to do the loop someday…
