My wife and I spent a week exploring southern Utah for our anniversary. We found this easy hike called Toadstool Hoodoos just off Hwy. 89.The hike in was very easy and short but the hike isn’t really close to anything do you have to drive a few minutes to get there which is a good thing, or it would be overrun by people. Gaia GPS has become a real favorite for me to find new locations and record my tracks. It integrates with my truck's mapping system so I can have topo maps with off road trails to follow and make sure I am going where I want. This hike can be found and done without any mapping software but it is fun for a tech junkie like myself. If you are a tech junkie I include a map on the full article.

I am often asked what is the difference between RAW and JPEG images and which is better or which should I use? Well the answer not that simple because both have their places. If you think of a RAW image as an unfinished image similar to an image on film than you can think of a JPEG as the finished image that you show everyone or display. In this post I will explain about the differences and why they matter.
