As mentioned previously, we decided to get up and head out in the early AM and try our luck getting passes for The Wave at the visitor center in Kanab, UT. We made two mistakes in this adventure. We arrived at about 8:50, just before the 9:00 lottery, except that… Continue reading
Reporting on a recent trip that Janet and I took to the Grand Canyon… [singlepic id=1947 h=240 float=right] We flew out to Las Vegas on Saturday and, in the standard fashion, got a car and made a stop for food and other non-packed supplies, and headed toward the Grand Canyon… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1919 w=480 float=left] Second to last of the year (though I noticed that I did miss a few days). One that I tagged quite a while back but never posted, from a kayaking adventure to Lime Island four or so years ago. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1918 w=480 float=left] A different kind of picture from Italy. Taken from Murano Island off of Venice where much of the fancy hand blown glassware that the place is famous for is made. I didn’t make it out to the island when I was in Italy in 2001, so… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1916 w=480 float=left] By the time we got to Riomaggiore it was pretty much night – we went into town and got a few beers, walked back out to the point to watch the sunset and drink our beers and then hiked up the hill over the town while… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1915 w=480 float=left] Looking back north in the evening from Riomaggiore, the southernmost town in Cinque Terre. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 44mm, f/6.3, 1/100 sec, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1914 w=480 float=left] OK, last one of Vernazza… Looking back as we were hiking out of town. I’m not sure why I have a disproportionate number of pictures from Vernazza – must have been the most picturesque town of the five. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1911 w=480 float=left] Merry Christmas! A shot from on the brake wall from the previous picture. You can’t really make out a trail thanks to the vegetation, but the trail comes in from the upper left here. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 10mm, f/16, 1/400… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1806] Day 7 was partially taken up with our descent from Lake of the Angels, partially taken up with our loitering at the trail head pondering what to do next and partially taken up driving toward Mt. Rainier. We stopped off at a hotel along the way as it… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1764 w=480 float=right template=caption] [singlepic id=1725 w=480 float=right template=caption] [singlepic id=1732 w=480 float=right template=caption] We actually got up early and left Aberdeen right around 7AM headed for the Mt. Ellinor trail head which we reached around 9:00. I think there were two trail heads for Mt. Elinore and we… Continue reading
