Hey Forestnome, I know what you're talking about. I have a Tokina 12-24 lens that happens to be my absolute favorite, but I have to pay attention to where and when I can use the flash. Outside as a fill flash is usually OK, but dark or inside shots with flash as primary light source...forget...

Hey Mike, very good point.

Stevehiker you may have a point...I also wonder, with the number of members here, how many local people (lurkers?) may be in the mountains in addition to all of us? Don't know how anyone could come up with a number, but I would think most winter hikers would be a part of this site.

I still like brown baggin'-it! Too bad I'll be out of town.

Sli, I totaly agree. I don't think people's comments have been insensitive or with some kind of evil intent. I just think that there's always something you can pick up on regardless of one's level of experience. Getting disoriented happens. I remember a Catskill hike after a heavy ice, wind, and...

Wow, what a great ending to a scary story. Excellent job by all! Hope he gets his story out when he's up to it.

Wow, that's great news! It had to be pretty rough out there. Hopefully we'll hear all the details and that he's doing fine.

Yes, it's always better to turnaround when things aren't going quite as planned. I wouldn't even think it as a failure or anything.Glad you guys made it out all safe and sound. As they say, the mountains aren't going anywhere.

Hey good for you! I've been lucky to see them three times in the catskills over the years, really cool. January seems to be the month, though I've seen them twice in summer. Have you ever heard their eery howl at night? It's a bit freaky!!!

Sounds like a lot of cool stuff! Thanks for the info.

Hey David, thanks. I guess you're right about the pics of the past. Of the near 5,000 shots I took in the past year or so, well there should be a few that I should have shared. I gotta make the time and set them up. Definately when I get back! -Tony

It's all sounding so good! I'm staying in Fairbanks but have no problem traveling to the southern end of the park (depending on gas and weather). I plan on taking tons of pictures. Guess I'll be setting up on webshots and spending quite some time on the computer when we return. Thanks!

Hey thanx guys for the info, keep it comin'! Looking forward to the trip.

Wow, major snow!...Just looked out my work window in Fairfield, NJ. It's snowing like crazy, ground is coated. Wonder how many minutes this will last.

Hey Jay, we're staying in Fairbanks. I will definately be prepared on even the roadways. Thanks for any info at all. -Tony

Anyone been to Denali NP in winter? Heading up to Alaska for the first time in February and looking for some day hikes in the area. Trying to fit in a day or two of semi long (short daylight) and maybe one or two days of scenic drives with the family. Not sure if the Park road is open or not...

Nice TR Matt, and thanks for being the tour guide. Great trip, really enjoyed the views, the weather, and the company. Can't wait till next time, we'll have to spend more time at the Otter!

Gotta love that plaque... pretty cool!

Nice TR Tom, and nice meeting up with some new friends (hope you're feeling better Kevin) and catching the familiar ones. Thanx to Jay for getting the ball rolling. I'm sure we'll being meeting up again soon. -Tony

Hey Ralph, I'm for that!...Don't know if I'll be camping, but a day hike on saturday would probably be best for me(depending on weather). Would like to meet up with the whole gang.
