It was a fun trip.
"Is one of the bikes in the last shot you steed for the journey?" Sadly no, but I did eventually ride to San Francisco from Phoenix and back, on my R1200R.
"This film seems to handle a wide range of light quite well." Yes and scanning in 16bit HDR produced a lot more data to work with in our modern tool set. Also the Beta version of the Topaz Dust and Scratch removal module works quite well.
"Almost hard to think back to looking at my images in terms of what all was on the roll. It's been a while." Get a scanner.
It fascinating.
