    I'm not sure it matters which Weston said it... it's the truth and that's all that matters to me! *

    How does that formula work in official roadless areas? ... I mean, I thought the whole idea
    is to GET AWAY from the damn road!

    Roadless areas are thankfully being preserved for future generations, rather than for me.

    Vaughn - we should organize a snipe hunt just for large format forum members. Each one will get a grounglass loupe with a little hole in it to
    function as a whistle, then instead of a stick, a wooden tripod leg, and
    a large old bellows instead of a burlap bag. The digital crowd would of
    course be allowed to use a GPS device, provided the coordinates were
    fictitious.
