P.S. If you are wondering what this all is, I went on a two and a half week road trip with my friend Tony after graduation. We climbed Mt. Rainier, went to Bellingham to kayak, then the Cascades for backpacking, then the San Juans for the Fourth of July. We made it back alive and happy. This is a short narrative with loads of photos about the trip we made


Life has been hard man.....

I'm telling you, it has been really rough lately.

The weather sure has sucked....

And the views leave something to be desired...

And then this thing got in our way!

so we had to carry all this crap up it with us....

On the fourth of July the Canadians tried to bomb us!

(sorry they are shaky, I was handholding a 300mm lens)

So we escaped, but it meant waking up early....

But at least the water was fresh.

Then I got scared

So I hid in a tree

Tony coaxed me out with some food

And we watched the sunset

And the moon rise.

And then the sunrise

Sometimes we did get to relax and just chill though

Cause the scenery was nice...sometimes

But then we had to watch out for crevasses!

We made it though

And it was one hell of a time!

i often thought it would be nice to climb Tahoma, but then i remember i can't ride my mt. bike down.

Glad you had a nice time up here, next time bring a mt. bike.

That is one hell of a ride report. It is so crazy, it didn't even involve riding.

Wow, those are some really great pictures. The one of all the mountains in the distance just became my computer wallpaper. Thanks for the report!
