Fredag d. 27/4 (dag 11) Efter gårsdagens Heste eventyr, som foregik uden for selve National parken, gik turen idag ind i selve Bryce Canyon. Det var en rigtig flot dag, uden en sky på himlen så solen kunne skinne på de røde klipper i de furede bjergsider. Se selv nogle af de flotte scenarier. Om aftenen var vi på "Ken's Old West Steakhouse" (som har fået forfærdelige reviews på "Google Maps"), som lå lige om hjørnet fra hotellet. En rigtig familie restaurant med skrigende småbørn/babier.... Nå, de gik ret hurtigt, så vi lod ikke det ødelægge fornøjelsen for os. Se, nu er Mads jo efterhånden en halvstor knægt, og i den alder (13) fejler appetitten som regel ikke noget, og det gør den heller ikke hos Mads. Så Mads bestilte det samme som sin far, ... read more

OD's comments: First day since coming back on the trail we had a nice sunrise and no fog or rain. The trail was nice and we saw a number of northbounders. We also talked to one of the trail maintenance workers. These guys do one heck of a job. All the clean up work after this spring's ice storm will take a very long time. We only did 8.7 miles today and it is the first time in days my heels didn't get worse. I did a small modification to the heel of my boots and it worked. The band-aids stayed put all day. If I can get three days without any more problems, the boots I have now will work fine. Got into the shelter by 3:30PM and took our time doing dinner and prepping ... read more

The time late April, the place Northern Yellowstone National Park, the People: Mike Sulock, Kezia Manlove, Mike "Moon" Sweely and myself. The four of us decided to go forth and hike up through the Lamar Valley close to the location that I saw the Grizzly and the Wolves fighting over the dead Buffalo carcass in . The actual goal behind this hike was to make it to "Dead Bear Springs", but we didn't quite get to the springs (though we saw it from a distance). If you aren't looking for an intense hike with lots of ups and downs, this isn't a bad hike to do. It's fairly flat along the high plains, BUT if you are nervous around large 'ornery' buffalo than I don't recommend it, we encountered roughly a half a dozen of ... read more

Alright so I can't remember the last time I wrote but i'll start this one with my weekend trip to Seattle. Well the night before Seattle we booked into a hostel right beside the bus station so we could just wake up and walk to the station early the next morning. It was only a four hour bus ride and after our huge overnight bus ride to Vancouver this was more then easy. My aussies got across the boarder no problem but had to pay $6 for some reason or another. We arrived in Seattle just before noon and wandered around until we found our hotel. We stayed at the Fairmont Olympic which is a five star hotel. It was absolutely beautiful and the staff there couldn't do enough for you. We explored Seattle for a ... read more
