[pct-l] Camera

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I used a Nikion Coolpix. It was very small and light. It uses a  
proprietary lithium battery. I have two of them. I don't think I ever  
used the second one. I sometimes got through two sections without  
having to recharge. I took a lot of pictures, but I avoided the  
flash. I turned off the flash. I kept the charger in my bounce box  
and didn't have much trouble charging it in towns. It only took an  
hour or so, maybe less. I sometimes carried the charger if I didn't  
want to deal with the bounce box for a while.
