Title: 4th of July weekend
Post by: FANATIC on July 07, 2008, 05:10:20 PM: Thought I would share my weekend excursion. My wife and I, and 4 other couples rented a house on the beach on the strait of juan de fuca for 3 days. Mostly just relaxing on the beach, shooting the sh#@. Maybe a few cocktails. ;) We did burn off our hangovers Sat. hiking to Olympic Hot Springs, which was awsome. Lots of deer. One small velvet buck let me get within 10yds. As usual, my camera battery died within a mile into the hike so no deer pics. Anyway, a great weekend with friends.

The house

The next morning some of us walked down to make sure we got all of our trash and any more we found on the way. Anyway that was my 4th. Hope you enjoyed.

Post by: FANATIC on July 07, 2008, 09:35:11 PM: The camera thing is a curse. You'd think I'd carry extra batteries, but noooo. The pics of the quail were with my old minolta maxxum with a cheap quaternary 70-300mm lens, that I switched to after the battery issue.
