James et al: higher rez is always better. I don't care about the format so much, just lots of pixels.
Stuff in the 1 -2 meg range should be pretty good.
Thanks!

Aw, man. I've been away for a while and my initial reaction is, WTF happend!??!
I don't really need to know right now. We have a man down. A dude I never met, but always liked.
He seemed to me to be a gentle giant. A kind man who loved climbing, photography, and beer. What's not to love about a dude like that?
I will try to make it. I may bring my wife and son, but I gotta work things out. Don't put me down as a definite yet. Todd, do you really have enough room for all these campers? I may just try to sleep in the park.
God bless ya, Blitzo, you were one of a kind, brother.

"My head was tricked again today...
Pulled up next to a Maroon Subaru and for a split second was excited that Blitzo was there...
One of those fleeting moments of confusion..."
That happens to me all the time when I see a Maroon Subaru. In addition moments of extreme sadness - typically generated by a photo I haven't seen before or a comment that someone makes. Yesterday it was Bluering's "man down" and "gentle giant" that even now re-typing makes me tear up.
I miss our friend, it will be bittersweet to send him off with a tribute party and memorial one that I know would give him great pride & pleasure. His friendship and overall presence in our life is sorrowfully missed.

Thinking this afternoon about Blitzo, crazy stuff and time in J. Tree along with early on fun when I first discovered Super Topo.
There are some absolutely WONDERFUL pics of Billy on these two threads, Sooze and Russ. I had forgotten about them til today. The Threads are, "The Game was 8 Ball" and "Back!!! 9 Ball...(OT TR)...
Bless you, Billy, out there in the Invisible World. You were one of few that produced in me a sense of humor. Love to you as yo soar, Dude. Peace and Joy Billie.
