Early morning drive yesterday for a camping permit on Diablo.
They have a lottery to issue permits in spring, 60% of the campsites are filled that way, they keep 40% for "walk ups" that's how you get a permit for the same day or the next night of camping. I scored my favorite boat in site for Thursday, great views from the top of a couple outcrops within 15 minutes of camp.
Weather looks clear and the Perseid's Meteor shower is underway.
Hoping for some good captures with the GP 12 I got a couple weeks ago.
Stopped at a derelict mill and pond site along the way just off the main river channel and saw a splash and long tail slip underwater.
A couple Otter have taken up residence and have a den tucked away from the main trail.
They both watched me a while as I worked my way closer, then I stood quietly for a couple minutes and did my best otter chirping impression. Just as I hoped they were curious enough to come up pretty close to see what the heck I was.
Drove the 911, it ran superb!!
5:30 am run on highway 530 was nearly empty, just the way I prefer.
Right to left view points of the GP suction cup mounted to the head light.
Did some hyperwarp video from the drivers side headlight and a spot just behind the driver's door looking forward- I'm still processing the footage from that.
