The Great Trip continues.....thanks so much for continuing to post. What an amazing place Nepal is ! I'm curious, you've mentioned a few times recently that the aging process is taking its toll, that Dawn needs new knees, so I'm wondering, how much longer do you guys see yourself on the road ...

ITTOG & Ace.....here you go.....plenty more to come (I think)..... furbucket.....you're correct that I don't have a computer but I'm not opposed to purchasing one. I may go to Best Buy and see what they have. The other options wouldn't work for me as I much prefer to go it alone. I really wish...

furbucket.....I appreciate the offer but I doubt that I'll ever return to California.....especially Los Angeles. I've tried to figure out how I could do it myself but that never panned out. I'm willing to purchase the hardware if I knew what to buy. If you have any insight to share, I'd sure...

Awesome post with the most beautiful mountain shots ! I understand your choice to go it alone. I think it was a good decision based on my experiences there. I struggled with the idea of giving back to the local community and my desire to travel alone. I guess you could say that I chose the...

After one last steep incline we reached an enormous ridgeline.....to the north it dropped nearly straight down but to the south and east.....it was relatively flat.....like walking on gently sloping hills.....it wasn't long before we stood on the summit..... To the northwest we had a great...

We awoke the next morning to cool, damp, misty weather in the Cascade Mountains.....clouds hovering low on the mountain peaks. After a long morning walk, we jumped into the truck and returned to the interstate. It never ceases to amaze me.....the way that the weather can change so quickly when...

Not too far to the north.....beyond the moored freighters.....we could see Vancouver Island, Canada in the distance..... I gave serious thought to taking the ferry across and I was quoted a price of only $75 one way.....I thought that to be cheap. I didn't do it for one reason only.....there...

halseyt.....thanks.....and you're welcome..... Riversdad.....same as above.....thanks and you're welcome..... PNWY.....I would love to tell some of those stories but I wouldn't know how to do it without pictures.....pictures are worth a thousand words.....pictures tell the story. And sadly, I...

You didn't have to go far to find a place just like that. Once we passed through that hole in the rock, we saw not a single soul..... I'm not trying to say that in anyway that one side of the hole in the rock was any better than the other.....just simply saying that there was no appeal to the...

Hole-In-The-Rock.....that is why people came here. It was truly amazing to watch peoples' behavior here. Everyone wanted a picture of themself or themselves here.....standing within the limits of that hole in the rock. Everyone was polite and patient as they waited for their turn. Here we were...

ITTOG.....did you guys happen to stay at the Hyatt ? That was our go to place. There's a massive rock about a quarter mile off shore near the hotel. I convinced my sons (at the time maybe 9 & 10) to swim out there with me. It was one of the scariest moments that I have ever created for myself...

Maybe it was as simple as we walked further than anyone else.....it wasn't them that disappeared.....it was us..... I guess that really it never mattered.....maybe I was just too obsessed with being alone..... And then finally.....it was time.....time to go.....time to say goodbye to...

Ace & ITTOG......isn't it interesting the way that nature can affect each one of us differently ? Weather.....one's mood.....many other things.....probably affect that feeling at any particular moment as well. I think that one thing that is universal in all of us is that it's nearly always a...

A bit further north along the highway I saw the sign for the Big Cedar Tree.....we took the right hand turn off the highway and drove a short distance east along a heavily pot holed gravel road to a circular parking area where we began the short walk..... .....to see the Big Cedar Tree...
