Hey Guys,

As the trip gets closer, I keep on trying to figure out ways that I can make it NWP friendly. I have a few things that I plan on doing:

(1) On those days I can get internet access, I am going to add a small daily log of our days (hopefully with a few photographs). I want to keep a small database as to where I see wildlife throughout the park. I am hopeful that I will be able to convince my wife to update the front page's material on wildlife throught the parks too. :)

(2) I am going to be adding a couple of lenses for the trip. I am debating the purchase of a 500 mm F8 mirror lens (about 110 bucks) and a 10-22 EF-S lens with me. I am hoping that I will be able to do a small review and comparison with my 16-35 F2.8L.

The 500mm F8 mirror lens is an interesting piece of material and quite affordable - though it is manual focus. I figured that it might be fun to try to use it where my 200 F2.8 and converters is not able to make the grade.
