A sure way to never get asked to pick someone up at the airport again.

Asking directions. "Rachui's Garage? Go straight about half a mile and hang a right. It's on the right after the dead tree. Ask for Billy Bob". Hearne, Texas in April of 2012.

Took a drive and walk earlier this week up to the lowest elevation glacier and ice caves in the lower 48, and Hawaii too. It's only 40 miles and an hour away.
Bridge is out and you get warned "NO ACCESS TO ICE CAVES". I do like a challenge along those lines... 40 yards downstream was a non-forest service approved crossing made of logs, rocks and a few planks that worked great, kept my boots dry even! Big Four- with 5 bumps  You've been warned  Aha, that's out alright  First view of the biggest cave/glacier. Crazy amount of snow and ice for this time of year- more like an early June snow pack  80degrees or so on the trail- 60 or so in front of the caves. Ya gotta stay out from directly under or inside unless conditions are just right. They do collapse and rock fall from 2-3 thousand feet up can come tumbling down at any time... unfortunately several peeps have lost their lives exploring and playing too near. I limit my time in the danger zone and always have an escape option it mind.  Some smaller caves farther around the steep cliffs- reminded me of Arches Nation Park in Utah. a good deal chillier     Nothing better than a water bottle refilled by scraping ice off a glacier- cold as you can stand it!

Back packed the Sky Pilot Loop in the Wind River Range in Wyoming about two years ago. After descending the trail from Glimpse Lake to Fremont Creek on a really nasty section of trail that had tons of dead fall and portions of the trail obliterated while crossing scree slopes, we found a wonderful sign looking back at the bridge at the bottom that crossed over the creek.
 From the top.  The sign.

Nice hike Jolly!
You found my favorite kind of trail!  This part was easy and smelled good too!  The road access to Three Fingers, and a couple other areas is paved quite a ways now, been years since I've been up there- I'll take the truck next time

Here we go again!! Leaving the house this AM, I look to the north and see a raging orange glow on the horizon.
Pic is poor quality but you get the idea…  The second pic is a screenshot from the ZOOM Earth app showing the hot spot. Per the data, it started around 0130-0200. Unknown the cause, but I suspect lightning. We have been in a crazy weird heat bubble this week. Last night it felt like we were on the sun. 111 and strong hot dry winds. All while thunder clouds loomed. Very strange n scary times.    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Besides being in a band, which is cool, he also raced motorcycles
Which is cool too, mostly Bultaco Pursangs on dirt. but he also raced my Bultaco Metralla a quick little 250 2 stroke, and we did OK with it, as I've said before "I had the bike, he had the balls". Not ashamed to say that I was not a racer.

random pics that YOU have taken.......
        Taken while on a red-eye turnaround run up to Bend, OR. The last pic was just right place right time. A quarry blasted and it was the rock-face sliding down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
