                    <title>Hiking in Southeast Senegal Village to Village</title>
                    <description>This the first blog of my Philippines trip is about Africa Senegal...The connection is just 39travel39 and also photos. I did many cool things in Senegal last winter but never blogged about them. No laptop unfamiliar keyboards poor internet connections other things to do... so here and now with a few hours in the Seoul South Korea airport seems like a good time.In Sierra Leone 25</description>

                    <title>Tsunami Marine Debris on Outer Coast Beaches</title>
                    <description>In terms of hard to get to the outer coast of Yakobi Island is up there. Nearest road is way far don39t even think about it. The state ferry goes to the little town of Pelican. But then what Rent a boat or kayak. Most kayakers and boaters opt for the calm and safer inside passage so they never see the outer coast of Yakobi. Too exposed. True enough all the marine cruiser guidebooks are </description>

                    <description>We left the red inflatables head high in the shrubs next to shore. I39ve never had a bear mess with them but I always feel better if they are off the ground.  It would be a long cold swim back to the boat if they got ripped up. I try to separate them in case a bear finds one they won39t immediately get them both. Bears walk around with their noses to the ground and they seem to love chewing </description>

                    <description>Organ Pipe...Lisa says it's like visiting a coral reef  she feels like she is snorkeling through the landscape everything is so odd and otherworldly.  And she is right as I think of all the places I have been I can't recall anywhere that compares. Only some of the best reefs off Cozumel Kimodo and Malindi  give a similar hint of Oh this is another planet...  But it is very different in man</description>

                    <title>Grand Canyon Kaibab Trail Hike to Phantom Ranch</title>
                    <description>Down... We started from the rim at noon in lots of snow.  The South Kaibab Trail was partially packed but the wind was blowing and minidrifts covered sections compressed by earlier hikers.  Down...  It was well below freezing. As we crossed between ridges and valleys we went from calm and warm to bitter cold.  Are you cold I'm good on average. My back is wet and hot my front is damp and c</description>

                    <title>South and North Crillon Glaciers</title>
                    <description>I didn't know if we could do it.  I'd been looking at aerial photos of South Crillon Glacier where it meets Crillon Lake for a couple years.  The right side looked maybe doable but the left side was not clearly visible in any of the photos.  Problem with the right side was the big crevasses in the middle of the steep glacier. The idea was to cross from Crillon Lake over South and North Crillon Gla</description>

                    <description>What do you write about when your days are full of good food sandy beaches thick books and gorgeous sunsets ...the beach sand was a little gritty on my bare feet this morning... the sun screen seems to be working... I am particularly fond of the banana and papaya smoothies... it is so dark in my room that it is a real trial to get up before 10 am... my shirts all need to be washed so I've stopp</description>

                    <title>Viejo Vallarta</title>
                    <description>Last night I watched several grayhaired grandmotherly types ride a donkey onto the dance floor of a packed bar.  Flashing lights and music from the early 60s pumping folks dancing and whoopin.  But I was wondering where they kept the defibrillators.  It was a scene from an Annette Funicello beach party movie slow forwarded 50 years with all the actors in place fresh out of their last retireme</description>

                    <title>Crillon Lake</title>
                    <description>We camped in the woods behind the beach.  While it seems appealing to camp in the upper intertidal meadows next to the ocean they are often frequented by brown bears so we go inland a bit and sleep a little better.  In the morning we started uphill through the rainforest.  It was wet with fog dew and light rain so we hiked in our raingear through huge spruce and hemlock then through open muske</description>

                    <title>Pelicans and snowbirds</title>
                    <description>The pelicans seem to own the harbor. Hundreds of them. It's a wildlife moment they circle close then dive straight in wing folded back egrets and comorants all around.  Really close.  In fact the commorants and the pelicans are pretty much adapted to folks walking right next to where they roost. The boat owners must spend a lot of time grinding their teeth over the pelicans their boats look li</description>

                    <title>Freezing Fog</title>
                    <description>Freezing Fog Ouch. Bottom line is the planes didn39t take off or land. Little planes as well as the jets in Juneau. So day one of this Mexico vacation starts and ends at home in Alaska. Which is OK although I missed dinner with a friend. I was going over to Juneau a day early just in case there were weather issues  a common strategy here this time of year. The jet south is tomorrow afterno</description>

                    <title>Glacier Bay Outer Coast</title>
                    <description>After the float plane left we tried to paddle to the head of Lituya Bay.   I learned this never try to paddle into an outburst flood.  Seems ridiculous that we even tried but it was easy for a while.  The tide  was with us and the wind at our back we made good progress.  Then we hit a wall of small icebergs where the outburst flood waters met the incoming tide.  We got through them into a semi</description>

                    <title>Lituya Bay Outburst Flood  2009</title>
                    <description>He says Lituya Bay is full of ice and we won't be able to land. I sat in the copilot's seat in shock. The float plane was over Lake Crillon and we would reach Lituya Bay in minutes expecting to land and begin a week of wilderness adventure.  Seems the adventure was already in full swing. I'm on the radio with another pilot and he says it was clear yesterday but today it is full of ice.  I mum</description>

                    <title>Excursion Ridge</title>
                    <description>Excursion Ridge it looks so close. On a clear day you can see individual trees quite well from Gustavus. Let's go there How hard could it be  Turns out it can be quite hard.  Getting to the top of Excursion has a local history of colorful tales of slow uphill struggle and overnight bivouacs on steep wet slopes. There's no trail but there's nothing technical.  It is more like bushwhacking </description>

                    <title>The Brady Glacier Southcentral</title>
                    <description>Mud and plenty of it. It is not so easy getting to the Brady Glacier...  The Taylor Bay intertidal is a place to tread lightly very lightly.  Craig and I learned this a couple years ago when we tried to paddle up the eastern tributary at low tide.  Quicksand more accurately 'quickmud' is alive and waiting for you in the low intertidal.  When our kayak 'grounded' out we tested the bottom by pro</description>

                    <description>This morning I put on my dry suit to go skiing.  My kayak buddy wrote on his Facebook status line last night that he was digging his kayak out of the snow.  This morning we had to use hot water to liberate the pump bungeed to the kayak and held fast to the frozen ground. But the ocean was flat calm. We kayaked over to Pleasant Island and skied 5 blue sky sunny hours through the open muskeg to the</description>

                    <description>What is it like in Alaska I was watching the lighting flash across the Buenos Aires night sky as we sat on a covered terrace in Palarmo last weekend.  My Argentinean friends Javier and Griselda were curious... I described a landscape so different... cold snow very few houses a town were just about everyone knows each other.  They made me promise to write a blog about it...  this place I </description>

                    <description>In Zimbabwe a couple years ago... gazing at Victoria Falls the Spanish fellow I was chatting with said 'It is nice but you should see Iguazu Falls.'  Well... OK.I spent 2 days at Iguazu Falls last week.  As one of my hostel roommates said 'That is too long you only need one day'   but this fellow also thought I'd wasted a day reading in a hammock under the palm trees by the hostel pool.

                    <description>The worlds most perfect icebergs... Antarctica I vote for Lago Argentino. I did a day long boat trip billed as 'All Glaciers'.  Well we didnt go to all glaciers but it didnt matter.  We saw a good selection of glaciers and the icebergs were spectacular. It was a day of contrasts.  Rain sun huge lake stunning blue icebergs with just me and a couple hundred tourists on a small packed boat. </description>

                    <title>Glacier Walks Argentina Style  El Chalten and El Calafate</title>
                    <description>I like to walk on ice.  Buried down in my list of blogs there are... 3 other blogs with glacier walks all in Alaska.  So when I saw excursions onto the ice offered at El Chalten and El Calafate I just had to go...There are at least four glacier walktreks available at El Chalten and El Calefate.  I went on the mini ice trek in El Calafate and the Viedma glacier ice trek out of El Chalten.  Both </description>
