Five days after my six-week Canadian Rockies trip, I took the following nine days for my annual fall trip. I again headed off to the Elks and San Juans. The worst thing about the trip was that I lost ten gigs worth of shots, or about 400 unique scenes, due to a portable hard drive failure. I was borrowing the drive from a friend, and needless to say, it's no longer being used. That was a tough one to get over. And actually, I'm still not.
