Maine to Washington in 30 days Part XI

Oops...

Sorry about that last update, the wind was stronger than we realized. Hopefully next the next one will turn out better.

To give you a very brief synopsis, we were in Redwood National Park after a good hike in the woods that led us to the beach. These forests are like something straight out of the Mesozoic era, it is truly an amazing site.

The trip is going swimmingly so far. Acadia being the first stop served as a great way to test out rigs, and this being the first time I have gone hiking with my camera equipment I had some trial and error learning to do. Off to North Carolina in the morning, and I'm confident my pack rig Will serve me well.

The first night in Acadia I played around with some night photography... This is our camp.




We also had the pleasure of hiking Cadillac Mountain at 4:30 am in order to be the first people in America to see sun light on Nov. 30th



The drive home proved to be a bit of a challenge, the fog was so thick you couldn't see 20 feet in front of the car. I snapped this pic out the window while driving.



We also made a video journal entry on the drive back and that will be added soon.

Cool Stuff

I'm franticly preparing for the cross country trip I discussed in my last post but wanted to share a few cool things with you, the first is a great little device to monitor your daily physical activity.

The second is a car that I believe should be the new standard for fuel consumption. Plus it is a very cool looking rig.

Human Interaction

I'm Reading a great book on human interaction. Here are the key fundamentals:


1) Don't criticize, condemn or complain.

2) Give honest sincere appreciation.

3) Arouse in other people an egger want.

Maine to Washington in 30 days

As only the second day of this Blog I have decided that there are far more things of interest to me than just photography so I will be sharing new ideas fun websites interesting facts, and like the photos above trips I am taking.

My trip to from Maine to Washington will last from Thanksgiving to Christmas (not quite 30 days but "Maine to Washington in 27 days" just doesn't have the same ring) with my best friend from the Army. We will venture as many national parks as possible as well as some cities and travel only on back roads. It should be fun. On the list is Acadia, Great Smokey Mountains, Memphis, New Orleans, Phoenix, Mojave Desert, Yosemite, Redwoods, Crater Lake, Mt. Rainier, and Olympic.

The photos above are of all the gear I'll have in order to partake in activities from kayaking to snowshoeing (snow permitting)
