Yeah. They asked me the address for Grandfather Mountain. I retorted, "It's a mountain - I don't think it has an address." While I was saying that Mister Smiley Borderguard was Googling it, and sure enough, GFM has a street address. That was a fun border crossing. They just couldn't figure out why two guys would be crossing the border with numerous camera bodies, lenses, tents and coolers. Good thing we didn't joke around about photographing nuclear powerplants, airports and bridges. I don't think that would have gone over well... ;-) cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
