I always enjoys stopping here.

"Davidson (Name TBD)"

I think I'm sold on the whole low-trail thing for my typical kind of riding these days, with a moderate front load. Starting a turn is more intuitive, and I don't feel like I'm going to fall over when banking heavily on a tight turn. However, maintaing a straight line also takes less effort on my part. Pedaling out of the saddle with a lot of weight is easy, too.

Whenever I ride a mid–high trail bike (55-70mm of trail) without a front load, I feel uneasy and that I have to babysit it when going straight, and I avoid taking tight turns because I feel like I'm going to fall over. Adding some load up front takes care of the first problem, but not the second. Pedaling out of the saddle with a lot of weight isn't particularly difficult, but isn't as easy as above.

So #Nikon is once again hosting a photo/video competition and if you weren't previously aware, now you are and you can enter (link below).

Also, if you're a fellow #darktable user, do fill it in as an option in the raw processing form.

This was the first image that came to mind that matched their theme of "perspective" -- do share your own too!

Due to time constraints, I decided to turn back here.

"Drift Inn Restaurant"

This is where I ended up eating lunch. The only waitstaff was an older lady who took conversations at a slower pace. She even thanked me for stopping by, which I don't usually get from restaurants in bigger cities.

A couple of folks were bicycle camping.

@KronoMoonPhotos is updating our #hashtags. Our 2 main #tags are now #KronoMoonWatch & #MoonOverMastodon.
Our mission remains the same, to boost, share & retoot your #photos of the #Moon.

In 2025 we need to be more diligent about retooting & commenting on the copyrighted works of #Mastodon #photogs. It helps us if our #FotoFriends either #follow this acct, or use these tags. In all cases, we will remove any toot asap if requested by the #photog. Out of hundreds of boosts, there has been only one such request. We removed the toot immediately, with no hard feelings. (And that #photog will always be welcome to share their images again with @KronoMoonPhotos).

Here's an #iconic #KronoMoonWatch #photo from #genius Georges Méliès's 1902 film, 'Le Voyage dans La Lune'.

Thought I lost my $1700 telephoto lens on a recent trip, but it was just in a plastic grocery bag…for some reason???
