A really hot and sunny day for testing the new camera. The day was made most unpleasant by the US Park Service. They had the whole known universe walled off with crowd control barriers. All of the tradition favorite viewing locations were surrounded by barriers. Big sturdy metal barriers. Wood “snow fencing” barriers. Green plasticy “chicken wire” barriers. The barriers went on for miles. I was not a happy camper. I was however a very well exercised camper. Since my route home was behind a barrier – which translated into a 2 mile detour hike… But, enough bitching. Life in DC.
