Fogive me if this has already been mentioned before, but I thought I would share something I have done in the past. My first digital camera wasn't much, but it did provide me with some good research material. While out and about, I would see an area that had potential for MDing. I would take several shots of the area, and later sit down and ponder where on the site would be a good place to start. Also, if it was the end of the season for me I could refer back to the photos and ----Well OK, DREAM!

A lot of the time, I would just forget some sites, or where I saw them, and this would give me the missing pieces that I needed to get back there. Sorry to say I suffer from that age related syndrom, CRD(can't remember diddly)

Besides, it gave me something to do and plan for the warm season. I would put these pics in the same journal that I had old news paper stories and maps that I drew or came across. Just thought I would share it with ya'll.
