I had a great time, and will definitely be doing my best to come back next year. It was great to learn a few faces, and see some of the variety of equipment in use out there.
I lost my rental car keys on Saturday night, but fortunately they showed up again at 6:30am on Sunday morning

That would have been a long walk home.
Next year I promise not to break my camera. Field stripping a 40D to remove a loose USB connector wasn't what I had in mind to be doing out there, but on the up side, I think I now have my wife's permission to mod it

Eric (the Canadian)
