Even this big strong fellow starts to wilt in the hot desert sun carrying a 
couple of heavy bags, camera(s) and a tripod :-)

It will probably be October before the first opportunity to take a break 
this year.  I have to do a bit of clever financial management to sort the 
trip but it is still a possibility.  This is the real driver to finding a 
lightweight 300mm lens as I found that a longer lens was needed on several 
occasions during the last trip.  The longest I had was a 203mm and in some 
cases, walking closer would have had me over the precipice and in freefall 
for a while :-)

Would be great to meet up if I can get over that far East. Please tell me 
more about the Big Bend NP!

Cheers,
