That Creepy Feeling

Two guys from Boston waiting for sunset to leave suggested we take their campsite to avoid the rattlesnake in the next one over. Rather than live on top of something that could kill us, we could live right next to it. As reassuring as this was, it left me abnormally focused on wherever I...

Heat

When I was younger the sun was a beautiful thing. Radiation, Desiccation, Dehydration, Carcinoma: they meant nothing to me. Nothing to the point that I would spend 1978-79 riding my bicycle around Europe and Morrocco without hat or sunscreen, roasting my lumpy little nose until the skin there...

Spontaneous camping in the North Cascades National Park

Spontaneous: seriously the best word to describe this trip. Due to avalanche conditions, my trip to climb and snowboard Mt. St. Helens in a dress on Mother's Day was scratched. So, last minute email, a few hours of driving, and voila, fifteen of my friends show up in North Cascades National...

Venice Beach...

Hi again, San Francisco was wonderful. Really sunny but so windy so a bit cold... still managed to get burnt though but it's gradually turning from red to brown. We walked everywhere (the most steepest hills you would ever see) so hopefully all the bad food we've been eating has been burnt...

Mister Blister

Reassuring us that a faxed permit would suffice, the ranger shrugged at our concerns about heat. "Shouldn't be a problem for a couple of tough guys like you". I'll have to have a talk with that guy. Checking that out, in any case, gave us a late start. We left the car in a lot, took a shuttle...

Fun in the Sun

The letter from the National Park Service accompanying our permit suggested we were fools to be hiking in the Grand Canyon in May. Something about the heat. Salient quotes: “May through June is a time when hikers have traditionally headed to the mountains. You have chosen to hike in the...

Downtown Waikiki

Well, my boyfriend is on dry dock right now, which means the boat he is stationed on right now is docked and doesn't go out to sea. He still work, but has a lot of time to relax and is docked in Honolulu, HI. I was really excited and happy to hear when he said he would fly me out to Honolulu and...
