July 9, 2010, a Friday
near Trout Creek Pass, Colorado, USA
— Explored the area
I got up around my normal time and it was clear and calm. I had my normal breakfast and opened up a new bag of LavAzza Gran Filtro Dark Roast coffee. I processed images through Capture One (C1) to assign final file names and to convert the RAW files to TIFFs, then did some file management to store and backup the images I had just processed.
I had lunch around 12:10. We left in the Jeep around 1:10.
We went down Buffalo Peak Road for the first time, and there were lots of Indian Paintbrush and other wildflowers initially. There was a light breeze so we didn't stop to photograph anything. Then the road went through a dense aspen forest before dumping us out into a high meadow. Then we took the road towards Rough and Tumbling Creek. J wasn't feeling too well, so we turned around just before reaching a water crossing, and there were lots of Richardson's Ground Squirrels there. We headed over to Weston Pass Road and decided to head home instead of heading up the pass because there was a steady breeze that wasn't good for wildflower photography.
We returned to the RV around 3:10 and J took a nap at 3:15. I processed the 131 images that were selected from my last stock submission. Then I looked into a device to split the signal from our external cell antenna so we can both use a direct-connection adapter for our USB727 sticks at the same time. I think the Wilson Electronics 859957 700-2400 MHz Splitter will do it. J got out of bed around 5:15, did some things online, then cooked dinner.
We had dinner around 6:05 of TGI Friday's Cajun-Style Alfredo Chicken & Shrimp skillet meal. I also had some Waldorf Salad. The chicken was really spicy: I thought it was great and J thought it was too spicy.
The wind, that was calm when we sat down to eat, had picked up again, so we decided to stay in the RV tonight instead of going out to photograph wildflowers. I did some computer work and looked into the various cables and adapters we'll need to hook up the Wilson Electronics 859957 700-2400 MHz Splitter.
