I am very pleased with Keely's camera, yet I won't be giving mine up any time soon as it is water-resistant. Digital cameras are getting better - cheaper, too.

I guess now that Keely has a digital camera, you'll be seeing more of me in these photo essays. For good or bad, that's the way it'll be.

Thinking about going digital? We always check the ratings on CNet. Make sure you check the user ratings as well as the editor's - sometimes editors look for different things than the users do.

Pamelia Lake trail is between milepost 61 and 62 (62 and 63?) on Highway 22. There is lots to see and it is an excellent hike. You have to get permits to hike later in the year - $100 if the rangers catch you on the trail without one.

We ate at Giovanni's Mountain Pizza in Mill City. The calzone was excellent.
