Thanks Patrick! I started adding notes and captions to help me remember these trips better.

I'm sure I've never *yelled.*
I've started going through mine...but I currently don't really have a computer I can use to post pics. So I've either got to wait for that to happen...or I've got to decide whether to just toss up a Photobucket link or to put a little more effort into it and go through the trouble of posting them from a phone. :serious:
I am working on it though...

Is there a way to share your photobucket folder with me? Maybe I can post those for you (I hate using the phone to do anything other than read e-mails and texts).

I'll try to get up a link later today. You can post individual pics from it if you'd like.

Day 2 pictures:
The drive up to Peavine wasn't technical, but the landscape was amazing. Something about the sparse vegetation and wide open sky made it feel like driving on a different planet... at least for me. ::grin::

There was one hill on the way to the peak that was fun. It was tall, steep, and loose... just enough for fully aired tires to break traction, according to Truckit. I didn't get to take a picture going up, unfortunately.:comphead: Here's Nytkshr and Mr_Scott coming down.

The kid took this picture of our co-pilot. She loves going offroad as much as we do!::grin::

Almost to the top. The trail becomes a gravel road.

Looking east towards Reno from the peak.

Another, this time looking to the south.

We didn't get to stay long. The winds kicked up and it was time to get out there.

Big salt flat in the distance. Anybody know what it's called? I'll see if I can google some info on it later.

As we descended lower, more trees and fall colors started to appear.

The trail also started to become more technical and really fun as we passed through the forest. Unfortunately, this was about when I ran out of room in my camera. Glad that Mr_Scott was able to take some pictures of the rocky stuff. Thanks again to Jen for organizing this run. :ugogirl: Had a great time and met a lot of nice people. Can't wait to do it again next year!

...with the same tires.
Hey I noticed a greenish tint in most of your photos - did you notice and do you know why?

I didn't notice... I wonder if it's due to using a really old Nikon D50 with a crappy lens, or letting Google Photos automatically enhance the photos? Is there a photo where the greenish tint is especially noticeable?

An example of the green tint is the photo captioned "Almost to the top..." - the grass to the sides of the trail are yellowish green, and so are the rocks, nearly indistinguishable from each other. Now if you scroll down two photos, captioned "Another, this time looking to the south", the grass is a warm brown, and the rocks greyish, providing good contrast between the two. I wonder if you changed your camera's settings for these two different shots? Most likely though may be Google Photo's problem, as the camera should be fairly consistent, while color-correction software may not be, depending on sophistication.
I've never found software enhancements to be better than my SLR's capabilities, even with a no-frills stock lens.
