Woke up in Japan.

So... I went to the airport the other day. It was a Monday. I got on the plane at 4:30 pm. When I got off the plane it was 8:30 pm Tuesday. The crazy thing is I was only on the plane for 11 hours. Now, I'm no math wiz but I think 4:30 + 11 hours does not equal 8:30 the next day.... Time travel math is hard.

 The weirdest part about this picture is that 549 MPH is the slowest I have moved in days. Also -52 is the temp at which I finally stop sweating.

THis is what the sun setting at 34,000 looks like.

I'm not saying this proves I am in Japan. But, ...

Not only does my toilet seat have a "SHOWER" button, but, it also has a knob to adjust the shower spray from back to front (?).... :[

If you aren't eating miso soup with extra seaweed and slimy, tiny mushrooms in it you are doing breakfast wrong.

Also, if you are not taking your miso breakfast near the massive koi pond in front of your hotel, you are doing it wrong.

Then I found some classic genie action on 

 For some reason my lunch was sideways. But, crazy delicious!

If you didn't believe me about the time travel before. Just look at this van!

I feel like the airport bathroom had too much to drink and then layed down on the floor and passed out. Go home toilet, you are drunk.A lil' too drunk probably. 

I'm just gonna leave this right here. 

Day 1

Day 1:  Uinta Trail Head to The Chain Lakes

  6+ hours hiking

  7.5 miles

  2500'+ elevation gain

  4 rain storms

      Also, I only packed my iPhone 4s for weights sake. I do not love the picture quality but It works at only 4.9 ounces. (My Pentax is K100D is 16.25oz with out the battery or any lens!) The iPhone did a fair job but Digital zoom will never replace optical in my life time. There is an app that is fun to play with called 360PANORAMA. it takes 360 degree panoramas. Here are the Panos from day 1: Sheep Bridge, Lower Chain Lake

This picture is proof that you will not die horribly if you electronic devices are left on.

35 LBS of everything you need to survive in the woods. This time I carried extra water (hoping it would ease the altitude sickness) and too much food. At least it is bright orange.

The pay off.

  I am back! Only several months without a post and here I am. I am digging up pictures from November of last year. But what's 8 months between friends?
  Here are pictures that were used for Christmas cards last year so I hope it doesn't ruin the surprise. :)

Froggy.

 

 

Hanna's mom, Erica, were very open to my suggestions.

Sky, "What if we cram her in that thing?"

 Erica, "Sure!"

My camera is dying!

Hello Everyone. My camera is dying. It can't quit figure out how to focus anymore. I will be buying a new Pentax K-5. Feel free to donate to help me along with a donation. 100% of it goes to me!

 I still have a few months of un-posted pictures left to post. Here are a few pictures to tide you over until next time.

My Park can Beat up Your Park.

Lewisville Park is neat. Bordering on neat-o. And, lucky for you, I am tired tonight so you get pictures with out a story. Enjoy. I will add one thing: I like taking pictures of mushrooms.
