Travels, Thoughts, & Other Tidbits: August 2008

http://traveling-applejax.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Travels, Thoughts, and Other Tidbits. Sunday, August 3, 2008. Where's Waldo on RAGBRAI XXXVI? The 2008 RAGBRAI route and logo. You're never the first, you're never the last, and you'll never get lost. There are always bikers as far ahead of you and behind you as you can see. The towns get pretty crowded, too. Iowa's not flat, but it's not the Andes, either. Most of the hills were negligible, though Day 2 was the 11th hilliest day in 36 years of RAGBRAI. Team Bad Boy" is a bit insane. They probably ca...

Travels, Thoughts, and Other Tidbits. Monday, September 13, 2010. Anyways. on to the real adventure. A view of where the canyon widens out. The mountains above our canyon. Part of that 30-person group. A view of what the canyon looks like as you're hiking down it. The view up-canyon from our second lunch spot. My new canyoneering shoes. I love them! Sightings on the trip included a foot-long centipede (poisonous! Hundreds of small toads, tons of rather large spiders, some fish (up to 8 inches long), seve...

Travels, Thoughts, & Other Tidbits: April 2008

http://traveling-applejax.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

Travels, Thoughts, and Other Tidbits. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. I've got a bit of catching up to do on my blog, so this will be my second post of the day. Don't miss "A Work of Pure Fiction" below. Aguas Calientes, as you may recall, is the town that everyone must go through in order to visit Machu Picchu. It may as well be on Mars, because it sure isn't much like the rest of Peru. Mike took a few photos in town that he was proud of, so they're featured below. Enjoy. Well, that's it for my Aguas Calient...

Travels, Thoughts, & Other Tidbits: June 2008

http://traveling-applejax.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Travels, Thoughts, and Other Tidbits. Monday, June 16, 2008. Our front yard is a bit plain, but we appreciate the Arizona-friendly rock landscaping (as opposed to water-guzzling grass). It would be really nice to put in a few cacti, so we may have to consult with the homeowner. I really like the cute green archway and the tree on the left - they make a nice entry point to the house. Here's a closer view of the. I'm not entirely sure why, but they are always made with their tongues sticking out. Our back ...

Travels, Thoughts, and Other Tidbits. Thursday, September 9, 2010. Trad Climbing Granite Mountain. It has been a couple of hectic weeks, what with the new semester starting and all, but we managed to get away from the hustle and bustle in order to do some camping and climbing this Labor Day weekend. Luckily campfire-roasted marshmallows go good with just about any topic of conversation, no matter how gruesome. Our campfire for roasting dogs and 'mallows. A delightfully scraggly tree. Lunch on Pine Tree L...
