There are a lot of Sportsmobiles out there....! On road trips, I tend to spot a new Sportsmobile every 2-3 days. My wife and I have running bets on just how many we'll see. The last one I spotted was out on the Oregon coast this past weekend, a white Voyager Top 4x4 heading westbound on Little Nestucca Hwy late morning Monday the 24th.

We need a secret handsign or something.

Geofff, that might have been us. We were on our way to Seattle and decided to check out the OR coast for a change. Did the SMB you saw have a roof rack, off-road lights and bikes on the back?

That grainy photo I posted (taken with a camera I have mounted to my windshield) shows a vehicle with a chrome bumper and it doesn't look like it has a roof rack, so -- no, I don't think so.

Fantastic photos Geoffff.

Thanks

what brand and type of camera do you use?

thanks again.

Thanks, CJ! Most of my photos were taken with my old Canon S30, which was a great compact camera 7 years ago. It's just fine for website photos, and has excellent low light abilities. In the past year, I've moved to using a real SLR camera -- a Nikon D80, and the old Canon S30 has been mounted on the windshield for USB-controlled time-lapse photography. In general, my secret is to take lots of photos (only show people the best ones), and use sometimes Photoshop to clean up the brightness/contrast a bit.

Canyonclan and I were up there so that may have been two of the five. I also spotted 4 SMBs on Friday after Thanksgiving. Lot of fun places to explore in the Owens Valley.
