| From the time I left my room until I returned was 7 hours of hiking. Long day but well worth it. |
Hey Mike Thanks very interesting. Please no nude pond scum swimming pics. The Guns remind me of Puerto Rico has a fort at the entrance to a port. At least you are able to walk there. No Fat Bike ? It has been raining in Oregon so much no riding but lots of walking in rain gear.Hang tuff buddy enjoy yer anniversary when you have a break.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike for sharing these lovely photos of the hike and island views. It is a treat to read about the history and natural science achievements on this island. Congrats on your feat of hiking for those 7 hours! What is the temperature at the higher elevation? I have more questions, but will wait for your stories in person. Take care and enjoy this remote location. Love always, andee
