[LargeFormat] The Lost (Photo) Weekend

[Ronald Schilling]

Uncle Dick, et al.,

Driving long distances takes a lot out of me and I know I don't feel 
very inspired after 290 miles (467 Km) and 8 hours on the road, with 
stops. Two days out of my four day "weekend" were devoted to driving and 
packing/unpacking camp gear. Still, it was worth it just to get back 
there before it gets really cold.
