    Avalanche Peak

    17 de agosto de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Today i hiked to 10,500 feet. Even though the hike started at 8500 feet it was still very difficult. I started getting lightheaded after 10000 feet, around the time i was walking on a little path on the edge of a very big dropoff. Plus the big wind gusts, it was intense. I was pretty much focused on each footstep, no pics of that path.

    This is where i had to rest before the peak. Going up i was leaning on my hiking poles for most of the trip. This is a this nice flat area. Seems like a picnic table would not be out of place. I took a bunch of pictures here that I'll make into a high quality panoramic later.    Leer más

    The peak

    17 de agosto de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Walking on the shattered rock of the peak made a neat sound. You hear it in the first second or two of the video.

    I don't feel like i conquered the mountain, or beat it, or any of those metaphors. In fact, finding how difficult it was just to walk up just a tiny little area of the mountain shows how much beyond human dimensions most everything is. The mountain is invulnerable to just about anything... ice is about the only thing stronger. I feel i equalled one aspect of the mountain: its height.

    On the decent my legs had about had it. I went back to camp and rewarded myself with fixing stuff on the trailer.    Leer más

    Crazy road

    18 de agosto de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    This road has a dozen switchbacks and hairpin turns as it goes down one mountain, across a small canyon, and up two more mountains changing thousands of feet in elevation. Visibility seemed like 100 miles. There was several times the road hairpinned right back onto itself. Can you see the road going forward and back in the middle distance and making an S shape in the far distance?

    On the map you see "Dead Indian" in several spots. Strange? In the mid-1800s the US Cavalry was chasing the remnants of a tribe. It was clear it was for extermination. The tribe was exhausted and had sick and wounded from previous battle and wanted to get over the pass here. They had to leave one behind. When the cavalry found him... he became Dead.    Leer más

    On the way to Old Faithful

    19 de agosto de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    I found evidence that a brake wasn't right. I took it to the auto repair shop at the campground. This was 8 am Saturday. I was lucky, they took it in immediately. The guy got it diagnosed, discussed with me, and parts ordered so quickly the parts made it onto the truck for same day delivery. I drove it out at 2 pm. I was only too happy to do nothing (actually laundry) all afternoon.

    Saw Kepler Cascades on the way to Old Faithful.    Leer más

    Eclipse hike

    21 de agosto de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

    Finally got a picture of an elk after missing several.

    Heard that traffic in Jackson would be bad because predicted cloudiness in other states brought many to WY. Used google maps and their terrain feature to find this little lake called Emma Matilda. I was the only one in this lot and on this trail.Leer más

    Tetons boondocking

    21 de agosto de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Fast forward, then i drove into the boondocking area in the Tetons. Actually its US Forestry Service land (or something) that juuuust squeaks out beyond the boundaries of Tetons Park. This is why you can camp there for free (Forestry is one of a handful that allows public use) and why it is well-known (you'd have to drive much further to get onto more land that is public and permits camping.) The location is great. The people are great. There's porta-potties!

    Not wanting to be greedy and irritate any "I've been coming here 20 years so I'm royalty" people i took a back spot. At the end of the road are sites with a stellar view.    Leer más

    Tetons

    22 de agosto de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    The tetons are amazing mountains. There is a fault immediately in front of them. They went up and the east side went down. Several glaciers ground down and made the fallen area flat. The airport is here. The tower looks like its 30 feet high.

    The first picture is a glacier, what remains from the last "little ice age." The tallest peak is that one on the left. The last picture is the land east of the mountains.    Leer más
