We made it to our stopping point for the day, 435 miles and we are at Sturgeon Valley as it is now called. The previous owners gave it back to original owners after 8 years.. We left at 7am and arrived here about 4. We stopped and ate our lunch at a rest area and had entertainment of watching 2 kids get arrested for something which appeared to be drugs as they were searching the doors and under the engine pretty well..
We only have about 115 miles to go in the morning so we don't have to be up early. About 40 miles to the Mackinac bridge and another 60 to the next campground.
Well we got some rain over night which helped wash off the car, the road coming back to this campground I would guess is considered a seasonal road as it is not paved but hard packed dirt and was recently graded. Talk about ROUGH! 8-10 mph is the safest and even that will shake your teeth out, I hope much of Alaska isn't like this or it will take a year to get back!
I played around with the camera last night as I wanted to take a timed exposure of the space station flyover but there were to many clouds but I still took some experimenting shots:
This is a 30 second shot on ISO 100 film at a F5.6 aperture and it was 9:45pm and pretty dark.
Now take a look at the picture below taken a few minues later but at Hi2 ISO film speed at F 5.6 apetureand only 4 seconds!
The major thing you can notice is the second photo is really grainy which wouldn't look good enlarged.
I'll try for the space station later this week if it clears up. I need to use a little larger aperture setting to keep the background darker as the space station will appear as a streak of light across the picture so the darker sky will really make it pop out.
Well time to pack and move, in a nit we will be in Sault Ste Marie, seems like Sault could have been spelled a lot easier!
