Greetings all. Years ago, as a private investigator, I used a SLR Canon EOS. Sold it after I retired. Was getting tired of the point and shoots I had used. Went to local pawn shop and got a good deal on a Sony A230 with 24-105 and a 18-55, both Sony lenses. Just ordered a Tamron 70-300 and will be ready to go out Ghost Towning this spring, summer and fall. I will need to relearn lots of stuff. Will take a class at local camera store to refresh basics. Guess I think it's gonna be great to download and delete pics that just don't do it. That is instead of paying to develop a couple of rolls of 24 shots each. Will be seeking assistance and asking questions as I go along this new camera tour.

Welcome. You are the third one today that is retired Law Enforcement to join. Thank you for your service. My husband was on the job for 23 years, and I worked in the DAs office, so know a bit about what your job was like. I have an A200 and absolutely love it. Looking forward to seeing some of your ghost town shots, those are always really cool places. Too bad most of them need 4 wheel drive to get into. If you find any that are near RV sites and fairly accessible, let me know.

AuntieM. If you are talking about Montana. There is a great place called Marysville, that is easily accessible about 20-miles from Helena, MT, the State Capital. And about 30 miles East of MIssoula is a "restored" Ghost Town called Garnet, in close relation to Coloma and Beartown. By restored I mean they have a foundation trying to keep the place from falling into the abyss. Do a Google on Marysville and Garnet and check it out. Many RV opportunities in both Helena and Missoula.

Thanks for the "heads-up" on this one. Will certainly check it out.
