I'm sure the price of gas will have a noticable impact on my photo trips this summer. I have already passed on some short photo trips this spring, due to the weather. If gas was cheaper, I may have gone anyway dispite the less than perfect conditions, but add the two together, and it just wasn't worth it to me.

I do plan on riding my bicycle, and motorcycle to work more often this year. I have been saying that for the last couple of years now, but I'm hoping this year I can actually motivate myself to do it.

As far as long trips go, we will have to wait and see. Just this week the wife mentioned taking a motorcycle trip to Glacier NP this summer. Traveling on the bike will save a lot of $ on gas, but it's very limiting as far as what we can take with us.

Yesterday afternoon my wife called me on her way home from work. She had just filled up with gas and the person at the station told her the price of gas was going to go up 10 cents tomorrow. So I took my truck and filled it up. A guy pulled in right behind me to do the same. I went home, and got my other truck, and went back to the same filling station to fill that one up too. The same guy pulled in right behind me with a differnent car to fill up. I guess the word was out. I'm interested to see what the price is on my way home this afternoon.
