One misstep and splash! About ten feet from the end of my hike. I could've been badly hurt but had nothing more than a cut elbow. Earlier during the hike I had been talking about upgrading to the Nikon 5200. So that is what I did. Today, after nearly a week of drying, I apply power to the 3100 that went into the water. If it works, I'll see if it is worth having it cleaned. The 18-55 lens is toast. I still have my Minolta 202s. How I loved that camera. We went on a lot of hikes together.
