I'll definitely make an effort to move some weight to the front. With the sale prices at REI right now, I think I can swing it.

If I CANNOT aquire the new stuff to do so, I'm sure I'll survive, seeing as how nothing actually horrible or insanely scary happened.

Or I'll give up on the Graflex and tripod and take my Mamiya 6 instead. Plus, there's something about having a Japanese camera on a Japanese bike: Mamimiyata. Or the new Broadway smash hit, Mami Yata!
