Very nice!

2muchsnow, how long was your exposure on the star trails? I love that! Nikon D7000, 12 mm lens, 20 minute exposure, f4, ISO 500. Just need a camera with a bulb setting, a shutter release cable and a tripod. And patience. I also used a long exposure noise reduction setting on my camera. which double...

Reef bay hike, some along the trail are very overgrown, sugarmill at the bottom, not overgrown, but still cool.

I think you are getting some really sound advice. As a fellow dog person (we take ours on all kinds of adventures, hiking, camping, fishing, boating) I've never once considered taking him to STJ on vacation. He's happier at home with the kids and sitter (we don't take them to STJ either :D ) If trav...
