Hey all
I'm a Mainer and I know it's alittle early for cabin fever to set in but with my job, trying to get a website going, and other obligations I have barely been able to get out to photograph anything.
I'm going to Peru next May for a month, I'll be working for a non profit group in a small traditional weaving community in the Andes. I've been planning and saving for this trip for awhile now and really want it to come together. However I do want to take a winter trip, it's already started to snow in Maine and most days it's 47 degrees so bitter cold for photos.
I just got a Wista DX for landscaping so I would like to find a place with some remarkable landscapes and wide open areas where it's nice a warm. I'd like it to be no more than 1500 Miles from the east coast for money reasons. I've had the strangest impulse to go to the desert. Maine is mostly closed in with huge forests and tall trees, I'd really like to see wide open expanses of land especially for night photography.
Any suggestions? Or should I just head out west and see what I stumble onto? I'm no new comer to camping out either, I have a full hiking pack with featherweight tent so I plan to sleep out of my car or camp the entire trip. I'm thinking about getting the photoflex film changing tent that B&H sells for $75 anyone have experience with this item?

I'm also looking for a cheap hard case I can use to stick my wista and maybe the 90mm and 210mm lens in. I'm more partial to hard cases cause of the glass on the back. The camera fits in my lowepro nova soft case but I'm afraid if any pressure was put on it it'd crack the glass. I've been looking at the dirt cheap zeikos 13x11x5.5" case for $20 there's also one vaguard makes for $40 Any opinions on either of them? I'd like to spend under $50 on the case.
