The last couple of photos taken in Canada and all of those take in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado are coming out very fuzzy, out of focus. I wonder if all the vibration of the Haul Road and since has affected the camera on my iPhone. I installed the vibration model QuadLok before starting this trip just to prevent that as had read their earlier model did have an issue with vibrations damaging the camera focus.
The up close photos of receipts and odometer are sharp, but the landscape photos are not like they were earlier in the trip.
Will carefully try a few photos tomorrow to test the focus.
As for now, rain is still flollowing me, crossed into Montana at Sweet Grass, two days ago. After a wet night in Great Falls, rolled south passing through Billings to reach Casper, Wyoming. Why this route? Have been watching that heat dome in the mid-west. Decided to ride south along the eastern slope of the Rockies where it is a cooler, then turn east somewhere Mid-state in New Mexico, Clovis, maybe???, then angling down to go along the Gulf coast. It is hotter in Dallas than in Houston.
That's the plan, but maps and weather reports are studied nightly to make adjustments as warranted.
Am on schedule with an anticipated arrival in Key West with days to spare.
About the iPhone camera...
I knew it. The Montana lens broke loose... the other two are fine.
Hopefully is under Apple warranty, Just got that iPhone in February.
Maybe Mama geek was right, turn off the phone and restart it....
These photos look better.
The mascot for the University of Texas is the Longhorn. With the expression "Hook 'em. Horns"
For those who have never ridden in West Texas, here is a frequent sight. Typical longhorn, don't get too close, their reach is a bit more then one might expect.
Who is that shy white one behind the boss? A short horn?
Nope, not short at all. Might even have longer horns that curled forward instead of wide.
Even the ranch horses are smart enough to be cautious when working around these critters. A quick nod of the head and you're gored.
They might not be a wild animal, but they definitely are not anyone's pet.
Arrived in Cypress for a couple of night as a pit stop on this journey. Red Dod the rig needs some TLC before we make the last leg of the UCC ride. Minor issues, nothing that would end the journey, just issues that create a nuisance: parking brake is not working, gas flap has a catch issue.
