When Approximately Was the Camera Found / Lost?

June 16 through 18, 2011

Where Exactly Was the Camera Found / Lost?

Somewhere between the Dalles in Oregon and Twin Falls, Idaho. I first noticed it missing when I was pulling out of Twin Falls early Sunday morning, after having some repairs done on my bike the previous day. I lost it while on a once in a lifetime motorcycle ride.

Lessons Learned

  • Secure your camera better, especially when riding on a motorcycle. I kept mine fastened to the outside of my pack so I could reach it easily when that perfect picture came along. There's nothing wrong with this, but if I had it to do all over again, I'd connect it to the bike on at least two points.
