Temporary Solution

Waterfall

Well, I’ve found a temporary solution to my problems...I’m uploading images via FrontPage, then hand typing in the image code. It’s not elegant and it limits where I can post images from. At least it will allow me to keep posting until I get the problem solved, though.

About the picture: Our group in Banff passed this waterfall on our way down valley on the second day of hiking. This is the first time I’ve successfully captured blurred water. I think I was able to do it because it was an overcast, rainy day.



Having Problems

Saturday, July 24, 2004

Well folks, as you can see, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Part of the problem has to do with the Tour de France. (Yes, the Tour!) Getting up to watch 2-3 hours of television every day definitely eats into time which could be spent taking pictures and posting things on the site. Rest assured, it will get better when the tour is over in a few days.

I’m also having trouble uploading images. Movable Type all of a sudden went haywire on me and I’m trying to figure out what the deal is. If you have any expertise with MT or know somebody who does, please let me know!



Food at the Bobbie Burns

More on our heli-hiking experience: Food at the Bobbie Burns was phenomenal - tasty and beautifully presented. Even with all the hiking we did during the day, it was easy to develop the well-known “heli-belly.”

Looking at the dinner menu on the second day, we weren’t sure what “Sexy Swans” were. Needless to say we had a little fun with the cute cream puffs when they arrived on the table.



View of the Valley

Valley view on our second day of hiking

One of the most remarkable things about heli-hiking was the total remoteness of where we were hiking. Unless the helicopter dropped another group from the Bobbie Burns lodge near us, we never saw a single sign of people. No trails, no garbage, no nothing. Just grizzly bear digs, flowers and beautiful valleys and mountains.
