I spent the day loading up stuff in the van. I didn’t work too hard at it as I have or had two days to get it done. I plan to be gone about thirty days, so I loaded a lot of stuff and took all day about it.
Loaded up
I got most stuff loaded now, except for some food, which reminds me I need to get the laundry bag loaded up.
Tomorrow, I need to check the tire pressures and check the transmission oil level and I’m sure there’s a couple more things I need to remember to do.
I went to town earlier in the day and got gas and propane too.
And I took a ride up into the hills to collect my trail cams.
I also cleaned the solar panels and washed the van’s windows, but not the van as it will just get dirty again.
This is going to be a great trip!! I can’t wait for pictures of that country.

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
This is going to be a great trip!! I can’t wait for pictures of that country.
