[pct-l] Digital photo management on the trail

[Trekker4 at aol.com]

Buy a RoadStor; put in in your bounce box/bucket; burn 2 CDs at town stops,  
directly off your camera card; mail 2 CDs home, to different places; empty the 
 card; hike on and use the card again.

Our  camera uses SD cards (Max 1GB per card). This gets us about 640 photos 
per  
card, which in some areas will last about a week (or less). We tend to  take 
lots 
of photos.....

How do you handle your digital photos on a  thru hike?

Buy lots of cards and mail them home when  full?

Transfer the photos off the cards periodically? To what?  When?

Thought about a CD burner or a portable hard drive system in the  bounce box.
Seems easier to just mail them home, but I'll have to buy a lot  more 1GB 
cards 
to do it that way.

Thoughts and solutions  welcome!
