Chris T Loc: from England across the pond to New England

Hereyago, Tom ... DETAIL !!!!

John Day was born in Culpeper County, Virginia and came west through Kentucky to Spanish Upper Louisiana (now Missouri) by 1797. In late 1810, he was engaged as a hunter for the Pacific Fur Company and joined an overland expedition led by Wilson Price Hunt. The party traveled west from Missouri to Fort Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia River in 1811–12. He is best known, along with Ramsay Crooks, for being robbed and stripped naked by Indians on the Columbia River near the mouth of the river that now bears his name in Eastern Oregon. After finally making their way to Fort Astoria in April, 1812, Day was assigned to accompany Robert Stuart back east to St. Louis in June 1812, but was left on the Lower Columbia River where he is said to have gone mad. He returned to Fort Astoria and spent the next eight years hunting and trapping mainly in the Willamette Valley and the inland northwest. John Day died February 16, 1820, at the winter camp of Donald MacKenzie's Snake Country Expedition in what is now the Little Lost River valley in Butte County, Idaho.

His name is well-remembered, being attached to the John Day River and its four branches in eastern Oregon, as well as the cities of John Day and Dayville in Grant County, Oregon, and a smaller John Day River and unincorporated community in Clatsop County, Oregon, the John Day Dam on the Columbia River, and the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. The Little Lost River, Idaho, was previously known as "Day's River" and the valley was called "Day's Defile" during the fur trade era.

Sounds like a great story for a movie, huh? ... And I don't mean the current one on Gandhi, either ....

What is your ulterior motive with this thread? I'm not trying to be suspicious but you're hinting at it with this post.

Service Photo is in Baltimore. I've been there before. They have mostly Nikon cameras and lenses. They're very good. Another good camera store is Ace Photo. It's in the area of Dullas Airport.

There isn’t one “local” to High Point, NC. The nearest brick-and-mortar Store is 45 minutes away, in Burlington, NC... Camera Corner. So I use B&H, Cameta, KEH, Adorama, Amazon, and lensrentals.com.
