After blowing off steam to my friend about the forgotten/stolen camera her advice was this:

Your day has been rough enough. Forget about Jackson Hole. Go to Idaho Falls, buy another camera, check in to a hotel, and relax. And while you're at it, make a checklist and look at it every time you get on your bike.

So that's what I did. And she was right; I felt a lot better after a hot shower. Nini at the front desk was really nice too - she even got Bill the maintenance man to shuttle me over to the Best Buy. It was like my own personal taxi service. Here she is blushing because I'm taking her picture, but check out what she's holding!



















And here's the checklist. It's on top of my tank bag now.


















So now that my little temper tantrum is over I'm feeling much better and am looking forward to Jackson and the Grand Tetons tomorrow. And I guess I'll be road-testing the new camera too, but hell, what else is knew? It wouldn't be A2B if we'd worked all the bugs out...
