Questions for Biggsly and Pulp:
For Biggsly, the question is the usual one....where?
For Pulp, what camera and lens are you using for those?
Now, for one of our latest excursions, we went four-wheeling with our nephew, his mother, and a friend of his from Albuquerque. Our nephew, his mother and my wife are in the front Jeep in these pictures, while I'm in the rear one with the friend from Albuquerque. I don't have pictures of the roughest parts of the journey because I was trying to hold on and not let the camera get banged around.
We went west out of Colorado Springs on Gold Camp Road and then took to the rougher side trails.
While we hadn't hit the roughest parts yet, I thought that these folks were quite "brave"(?) to hazard the roads I did see with a pop-up camper equipped with small diameter wheels. But, Hey!!!! They gotta love camping.

You know, with the loan of my nephew's Jeep, I just might get into the idea of doing a bit of this "traveling" myself.

Considering photos that you've posted in the past, I actually did figure somewhere in northern New Mexico or southern Colorado. As for being jealous, wait and see if you still are after I start reporting snow depths and temperatures this winter here in the Colorado Springs/Canon City area.
Sounds like you moved your RV South.
Terry, I'm using a Canon Rebel XS. All three of these were taken with a Canon 75-300 lens. I got lucky on the dragonfly. On the red wasp I had it set on around 150 or so mm. Exposure was 1/800 second.
Dennis,
Nope. We are still in between Colorado Springs and Canon City at Mountaindale Cabins and RV Resort. It's located about 20 miles southwest of Colorado Springs.
Pulp,
That's a good combination, even though I've grown to prefer the Nikons, especially after getting the D700 and begun to really use the f2/8 lenses. The 70-200mm one is used mostly for the wildlife pictures that I've taken and the 24-70mm for scenic shots.

I recently joined the facebook group Bug Hunters Oklahoma, so I've been trying to get some decent insect photos. Every once in awhile I get lucky. Check out the group when you get time, especially if you like insects. And there is some fantastic insect photography in this group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TXPlantsInvertebrates/
