It’s also called Naomi Peak. It’s the highest peak in the entire Bear River Range (!). You know, if you sub-divide your mountain ranges thoroughly enough, every peak can be the highest peak in something. So I had this one student last spring whom I saw at the dog park last summer and we talked
These blog posts are pretty perfunctory. Go somewhere, post about it a year later because you feel like you have to. One day I’ll look back at all these posts and understand how I never had the time to become an astronaut. On the last full day I was in Bend, Aela and I hiked
Next up on the Bend-area tourist hike agenda was the Green Lakes hike that, somewhat predictably, leads to Green Lakes. This would be the longest hike my dog had ever attempted. Would she make it? Whatever, here’s a little commentary and some photos from the hike. Started at the Green Lakes Trailhead (!). The hike
I did nothing but tourist hikes on this trip. TBH, though, I think pretty much every hike you can do out of Bend ends up being a tourist hike. Kind of like when you go to the Wind Rivers and there are a million other people there even though it really shouldn’t be a tourist
The dog does not like being stuck in the car for hours at a time. Legitimately, my goal for this summer is to find a way to get the dog to ride in the car in relative comfort and happiness without sitting on my lap. Mal sehen. Last summer, we took a long road trip
I’m not quite a year behind on travel posts yet. Last summer, I went with (led?) the River Heights 4th young men on a trip through the Narrows. This marked the third consecutive year of doing a trip through the Narrows (c.f., 2016, 2017). I didn’t take my camera on this one because I was
There was apparently a Part I of this. There was also a report on a trip to the same general location three years earlier. But I digress. Day 5 – Meißen I hadn’t been back to Meißen since ’93, so that’s something. It’s a cool, old-looking city. We toured the Dom and went to the porcelain
Eight days there, but 10 would have been more reasonable than six. I really think that, of all people, I’d be the one who would be willing to say that the place I went on my mission was terrible, ugly, and not worth visiting if, in fact, it was terrible, ugly, and not worth visiting.
I’m six months behind now. Seems right, comfortable. Back in May, Switzerland, friends Thomas and Kristine, took me walking through the Emmental region. It looked like this. Like, I realize that when I go there I’m pretty much on vacation (although I presented some research at the University of Bern on this trip — thanks,
This is back in May. Went on a two-week trip to Switzerland (to see Thomas and Christine) and Germany (forthcoming). The flight to get there was kind of ricidulous, but I should probably let that sink down the memory hole and instead remember the trip up to the Stockhorn. So this is what I did
