I had taken off my pack and set it down on the 45 degree slope, propping it up with a rock, and then set my D40 camera on top of the pack.
Pretty steep to be digging Agate!
I turned around and started to work the seam of Tahoma Agate, when I bumped the pack. ?Seeing my camera bouncing and rolling down the slope before coming to a halt 20 feet down, was to say the least gut tightening. ?I was very fortunate that the camera didn’t hit any of the numerous rocks. ?I climbed down and examined it and everything worked!
