If you will be photographing areas of natural scenic beauty or
historic interest, a bigger problem than finding photo labs may be
finding a lab close enough to where you'll be making images to go back
and reshoot. The states that you'll be traveling in are huge with
small
populations (except in the immediate area of Denver). The distances
between population centers and scenic areas defies belief. It
could be several hours or a day to drive from scenery to lab.
Investigating labs on the internet and then contacting them before
your trip to make sure they process your format of bill will help.
Bill's suggestion of thoroughly testing the camera and perhaps
overexposing might be the best idea overall. Using a medium format
Zero and
bracketing might work well also.
