Thanks everyone for your comments and concerns. I hope this serves some purpose. As for Bolivar, I think it is a great place and don’t want to discourage anyone. I have seen a lot of the areas Tim has walked including every where I have been and it is pretty good. But, I will no longer cross the line at the corner. As for the camera gear I will be very surprised if the camera can be repaired. My hope is the lens can be salvaged. Wish the D400 was announced today. Oh, I might add after pulling my card from the camera – presto! It’s good and a few pictures on same. Funny what my last shot was as if to warn me of something. I will process and post.

Good grief David. Sorry to hear about you awful experience on Boliver. Hope everything works out for you gear, expecially the 200-400. All things considered though, it could have been worse. Good save Tim!

Sorry to hear about your day.

Most importantly it is good to hear you are ok, the camera may be repairable as well as the lens. I have seen a similar accident from a friend and Nikon was able to completely repair the camera and lens.
