Terry takes Monty up the Inside Passage

Sat, 28 Aug 2010 | By josh_shona | Views [647] | Comments [1]

As we were about to set off on our first ferry trip, i was a little apprehensive on how i would pass the following 15 hours, the longest ferry ride i had done up until now.  You would be amazed at how fast the time can go when you have a window seat ... Read more >

quick update

So this is my first time blogging and I apologise for that but when camp is on I rarely have time for even FB or email. I am now staying at a friends place in Huntington, Long Island chilling after a hectic 10 weeks of work, play and parties at Camp ... Read more >

Here are some random thoughts that I've collected since arriving here. I'm sure I'm forgetting some so be prepared for a part 2 at some point... The tp is green… and you have to carry it with you cause there’s no guarantee it’ll be in the ... Read more >

May Lake hike

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 | By margotforrest | Views [466]

It may appear that we are going backwards.... but coincidentally we visited May Lake by foot up in the high Sierra country off Tioga Road the week after we'd visited friends at their cabin outside the Eastern boundary of the park. We drove a couple ... Read more >

I’m chasing the monsoon. I think it’s what I want, and I pursue it as if my life depended on it. I’m chasing some intangible thought that isn’t yet grab-able in my native tongue. I am chasing the monsoon, because the rains give way to a full moon.... Read more >
