"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single list." I like that.
You ask a good question on the camera equipment. Here I am, the guy with never a photography lesson in his life and never did it for a living (but now has gallery exhibits, magazine covers & inside pix and sells prints) that gets asks to speak at photo clubs. And similar questions are asked.
I do not take my main camera hiking with the tripod and all. Too heavy and bulky.
There are great point and shoot cameras out there these days and, quite honestly, some phones have great cameras. One of my best Grand Canyon shots (first picture on www.LaurensPix.com under On The Roads link) was shot with a p/s camera a few years back. Were out on the South Rim after dinner walking the dog and this appeared for about 5 minutes and I got it.
Am open to suggestions on hiking. We are both fit but not the 9 of 10 level hikers we used to be. (I also used to run races up to 50 mile trail in my 40's and 50's - REALLY crazy!).
