I’m pretty sensitive to the cold, but on the 1st Grand Reunion Weekend, I chose to ride in one of the “hard-core” cars rather than the combine. My concern was not so much the fogging of the lens, but possible condensation on the inside of the camera and lens bodies, both of which are filled with electronics. Electronics and water don’t mix......I’ve learned that from working for a major telecom equipment manufacturer for 40 years. On our weekend, I don’t think the temperature ever got above 15F, but just being inside the car made a heck of a difference.....that and my new battery-powered socks.

Glad you were finally able to make it up to Maine, Earl. Nice set of pix, you posted! It’s a pretty neat place, ain’t it? I feel blessed to live just over 2 hrs from Sheepscot.
