I know Adorama and B&H carries refurbished before but the ones they both list now are not. I'm just going to call and find out if they can tell me the details.
I just might drive out there to see, its always nice to go looking in the store.
Thanks for all replies.

Nikon refurbished camera does not list shutter count, do they reset the count ?
I've been searching for one but have not found the price and newness I'm looking for plus scared of too many scam out there.

Dulles is a better choice if your coming from Richmond if your still in planning stage.
Lots of hotels nearby and most offer airport shuttle. A bit less traffic too depending on time of day.
My 2 cents 😏

Granville island is a good place to stroll around, lots of good places to eat. Don't forget to bring winter clothing going to Lake Louise. We were there in June and temperature was 34 degrees and on/off snow flurries.
Should you decide to drive Icefields Parkway, be aware cell phone service is non-existent and driving should be done only in daylight. We drove the parkway from Jasper to Calgary and it started to get dark by the time we got to the glacier. This was around 9:30pm and there was only us and a Jeep i followed who appears to be a local as the driver was signaling left/right turn signal when animal is spotted along the road. There was a few instances where after seeing the Jeeps signal that the spotted animal is already crossing the roadway.
Probably best to check weather reports before venturing out there.

Payphone probably still works, glad to see some are still around. Company i worked for got out of payphone business a long time ago due to maintenance cost.
Frontier bought most of Verizon's rural telephone central office's while back. Verizon is only interest in money maker locations, rural areas are high maintenance.

You may want to try out the Fuji XT-2 or XPro-2. I've read from users that's there's greatly improved focus speed.
I have the XT-1 and that's one of my complaints with the camera as well as battery life. EVF is power hogging.
I still have Nikon dslr but I most often take my Fuji due to compact and lightness.

Watkins Glen is absolutely beautiful, then you can go a bit south to Corning museum. Try to go on a weekday in Watkins Glen park and park at the top of Glen, makes it easier walking down the gorge but the climb up is not that bad. Check and make sure the shuttle bus is running for the day if you don't have another ride to retrieve vehicle from topside of park.
You can even add Steamtown Railroad Museum in Scranton, PA if you have any interest in old trains. One of the Big Boy is on display there. I mentioned this if you will be driving up I-81.

I didn't make any preparations so when it came time, I picked up my iPhone and made this;
My eyes are fine using the negatives, did same many years ago during total eclipse over Manila.

Very nice photos !
I remember same scenery all over the Philippines a long time ago but recently saw pictures that are very much different. Lots of rice paddies are dry indicative of neglect.

Thank you, Morning Star !
I got my pass months ago, and thanks for the tips. I couldn't fit another body and lens in my carry-on bag so I'll be shooting most of the time with my Fuji 18-55 and 16mm, wasn't a photography trip in the first place.

Do you recommend bring a long zoom lens for wildlife ? We have no intention of hiking, just if by chance we see wildlife close enough by side of parkway as i didn't plan on bringing my Nikon 80-200mm (my longest lens). I had packed my Fuji X-T1 with 18-55mm, 16mm and a 35 only until this morning when i searched for more Banff/Jasper information. We are to leave on Wednesday flying to Vancouver and taking train to Edmonton, from there would be driving around to Jasper, Lake Louise and Calgary and spend week and half around the area.
