off to Oregon

It seems like yesterday that I signed up for a tour in Oregon, but now it is only a couple of days away.  Already packed my camera equipment but the new lens from Canon, the 70-300mmL, is very heavy..I'm almost tempted to bring my trusty old 70-200mmn lens, because it is approximately a pound lighter; however,  the 70-300mm gives me just that extra reach...forget the 100-400, that's a real killer to tote around unless you have to photograph wildlife in the distance.  Also, I haven't been using the new lens at all so this will give me a chance to really field test it...
will be visiting Ecola State Park, Bandon Beach, Cannon Beach..hoping for good cloud cover since that makes every image more dramatic...loaded all my filters..can't function without my polarizer, ND filters, and graduated ND filters..should be a lot of fun.
