Not badly spoken for a Yankee. But, that's the "Virginia", Sir.

Photographically, the Down East Coast is filled to the brim with picturesque lighthouses. Get a map.
I could spend 100 years in and around Acadia NP. Be a tourist and hit the high points.
Sea towns. I grew up in one. Love them. If you do too, enjoy!
PixelStan is right. I think they lock you up if you don't try the different Lobster Rolls. I like "Lob Lob", half a Lobster Roll sandwich and a cup of Lobster Bisque.

If you are looking for a "starter" Full Frame, one "to grow on", you almost need to be thinking mirrorless. It pains me to say that. I love my Nikon DSLRs and know that my current gear will last me "to the grave". BUT, the plane-and-simple truth is, camera makers like Nikon are not putting much time, effort, or money into DSLRs. With the whole world "crazy for mirrorless", if they want to make money (duh), they have to "go with the flow" which right now is mirrorless. Will it always be? Who knows. "The future is promised to no one." With the gear they have made to this point, either a D850 or D780 can be a great "system" for another several decades. But there will always be innovations and, at this point, I'd say they will have "mirrorless" stamped on them.

Beautiful image, Joe.

Here in the East, virga means "run for cover". In your image over a hardscrabble landscape and "scrub pine", it falls somewhere between "promissory" and a "tease". Sure makes a fantastic photo, though.

Lord, I hope not!

"You hate to watch another tired man lay down his hand like he was giving up the holy game of poker". So, what-r-ya gonna do about a camera?

I'm gonna wish you luck. The D7000 is a DX camera. Don't use an FX lens. But/rent/steal a 40mm Macro. I am (still) working on my thousands of slides with my FX Nikon, ES-2, and 60mm Micro. Results have been outstanding but the pace (and my energy/determination) have been lacking of late.

First order of business --- be safe. I met a WW Rafting guide who lives very close to GNP and has never been inside the park. "The Bears have no rules." I carried Bear Spray and wore Bear Bells while walking around with my camera.
Going "next week" doesn't give you much time for research. Good stuff at each end. Lake McDonald in the west, St. Mary Lake in the east. Logan Pass/Hidden Lake Trail. Going-to-the-Sun Road is your friend. Turnouts abound. Many Glacier area for furry friends. And don't forget about Waterton Lakes NP

OK ... I'll play. Use logic. First, do you "prefer" using one camera over the other? That would be my first consideration (tough for me personally. I have 5 DSLRs and I love-and-use them all).
Second, of all the photos you have taken, which of the two "types" of lenses have you used most? I love wildlife photos BUT have far more landscapes. Of the landscapes the ones I tend to enjoy most are of the "sweeping aka wide-angle-view" type.
Therefore I decide what types of images I am "most" hoping to create --- which lens will most likely be used for those images --- and put that lens on the preferential camera. Keep both cameras close and easily accessible and go have a great time.

I love this sky. Is it possible that you could "Clone-out" the topless palm tree?

As an image of "Delaware on the move" or "Moving past COVID", Yes, they are.

Crossing my fingers for you. Of the many trips that I have had cancelled since COVID came to town, one was a trip to Iceland. Getting a refund from Icelandair has proved to be a bit problematic but Hope springs eternal.

Linda, photography is a many faceted subject. I admit to being envious of those who are genuinely interested in them all. However I do feel that for any specific aspect of photography that people show an interest in, if a "group leader" can be found who is willing to "ride herd on that section", the rest of us can appreciate their commitment without necessarily feeling compelled to frequent a section/sections in which we personally have no interest.
I am not a birder, but I am especially happy that those with that interest have a spot here on the net where they can share that interest with other like-minded souls.
Still Life photography only very rarely "grabs me", but when such a shot does, it pulls strongly on my heart strings. Chances are that I will not frequent a section giving instruction on that subject. But for those rare and magical times when a particular Still Life image moves me, I hope that interested folks can find a spot where they can learn how to stage beautiful subjects in that field.
Similarly I have noticed a large and growing portion of our community who seem to fancy travel and the images that can be created in doing so. I do think that Hip Coyote's idea would gain traction with the members if a good leader might be found. OTHERWISE, the Main Discussion Section should be open to our members finding help with their travel plans.

A very "Hip" suggestion, I think. For those of us who would like to see as much as we can while we are here and not waste time on "ugly stuff".
