That's great! I hae my Dad's old Nikon that he purchased in Japan back in 1972. Steel body (I think), weighs about five pounds without the lenses. Still have both lens which, as you point out, are really, really good. It's a 35mm, though so film is no longer available. It took great pics. Anyway, your photos are terrific so I was curious about the camera. thanks! I have put old Nikon film lenses on that D70. Some darn sure fit, but you will have to manual focus, and maybe manually control the aperture. No matter, it has a 'thru the lens' light meter. All you got to do is adjust aperture till light meter is at 12 o'clock and click away. Good learning experience for me. Yup, that's it for me - I have to manually focus and manually adjust everything on that camera. Including telling it what ASA film was in it. Nothing automated about it. Or rather, I should saw that I used to. Can't get 35mm film any more. I used it in High School (I was one of the year book photographers) and we got our own lab so we learned a lot about photography. It was fun. Anyway, you take some great pictures.

James, I've been meaning to ask - what kind of camera are you using?

James, what great tumbles. Thanks for posting the photos and information. x2 on the PVC barrels. Gotta be careful rockhounding now-a-days. Sometimes the best spots are so isolated that is causes me pause. Lake Falcon. More border patrol than citizens. Scary ... and I thought parts of the Mojave were bad... dang ...

These are really great, Kurt. In keeping with the upcoming movie season, "the Force is strong in you". Seriously, these are terrific.

You're certainly welcome, Snowmom. I was about to start some of the seeds you sent over when southern Califonia hit a cold spell. Cold for here, that is - middle 40's at night, tops out in middle 60's during the day (LOL!), yup, absolute parka-weather! Glad you enjoyed the tour!

Thanks, Grizman ... the agatized snails were really a killer find. Someone put a lot of work into extracting them from the base rock and then polishing them up.
