My Yesterday

How was your yesterday folks? Mine was borderline terrific. Kinda caught between fabulous and awesome. I Started out bright and early (10:00 AM), caught some breakfast at the trading post, and hit the trails. Here is a sample invintory of what you should pack along on your next 12 mile trek through the parched south west.

In the pack

• Roughly 1 gallon of fluids. Water/Gatorade.
• 1 protein bar
• 1 Beef stick
• 4 Rugged Bandaids (thanks mom)
• 1 Hunting knife with 5in blade
• Emergency pair of socks
• SPF 30

On the Utility belt

• 1 digital point and shoot camera
• 2 fox and 3 beaver pelts (ok maybe not)
  

0n the head:

• one industrial strength outdoorsman's hat (thanks Matt)

On the feet:

• One pair of rugged sandals. Not my first choice but I managed to make a mess of my normal sneakers the night before. Mud.
• Two Bandaids. Again thanks mom.
  

In the eye:

• Beauty

Now for the photo story.

The Path

The Trail Again


Just some more Random scenery

All in all it was pretty good. I met a nice man at the campground that ranted about how he was off to see the country before it all went to the dogs... or the commies... I met another nice man on the trail who invited me to come peer at the heavens through his giant telescope. So I spent the evening oogling saturn's moons and rings and various nebulea and star clusters. The guy was amazing he would find objects in a few seconds and step back to let everyone else look. He had probably $20,000 worth of equipment set up. The images were amazingly clear. It all worked out. I got a chance to look and he got a chance to talk. Plainly a priority for him.

Thanks for reading. I am off to Colorado Springs next. So the pictures should keep coming.

Sam's Summary

• It's Pictures Sam. Lots of pictures
• You don't need no stinking summary today
• I did, however, see a badger (picture did not turn out too well) you do need one of those.
