Williwaw Point, Unalaska Island
February 10, 2010
Since posting the new header image on the website yesterday I’ve received several emails and comments about the
Williwaw Point, Unalaska Island
image and where it was taken. So I figured it being a slow posting week (except for you American Picker Fans) I’d do a quick post about the picture.

This is location of about where I set the camera up with time lapse to take 10 images, 10 seconds apart as Dakota and I headed NE towards the end of the cove. If EXIF information on the image is correct it was taken the morning of September 5th. 2009
The night before Dakota and I camped a mile and a half SW back along the cove after crossing the day before from our camp in the valley of Kismaliuk Bay. We climbed up and over in to the old Aleut village of Kashega in Kashega Bay. We followed Brennen Lake straight over to the coast. This was a significant part of the trek and a great day. We had crossed from the Bering Sea side of the Island to the Pacific Ocean side.
You can see more images from that trek in the Unalaska Island Trek Gallery.
Smith Rock for Aura
January 3, 2010
When I told Aura my plans for Skiing in Bend, OR. for a holiday break she reminded me of her great times hiking around Sisters and climbing at Smith Rock. I spent a few days in Bend and passed the township of Sisters several times on my way to Hoodoo for self instruction in the sport of snowboarding. (unless your young or in great shape – take some lessons).
Smith Rock
I only got to spend an hour or so at Smith Rock just north of Redmond while waiting to pick up my friend and (snowboard self instructor extraordinaire) Rosie.
Smith Rock is a great place just from the road and trails immediately around the park. I could tell though there were hundreds of places to climb and you walk, hike and maybe even trek around there for quite a while. For sure the next time I find myself there I’ll be spending some time there.
So, for Aura who couldn’t talk enough about Smith Rock, I took some photos.
When I get home I’ll post some images from the trip.
Monte Fitz Roy

Monte Fitz Roy ~ Argentina
Well it has taken longer than I thought it would but I have added some images to the Fitz Roy gallery. February of 2007 my friend Lisa and I went to South America to trek around Fitz Roy and Tores del Paine. It was a vacation and birthday trip all in one.
We made our way to the little town of El Chalten where we spent seven days trekking and camping around the mountains and glaciers.
Using the menu bar at the top of the page, you can find more images of the adventure, under adventures.
Poor Pictures
September 13, 2009
I took nearly a thousand pictures during my trip across the island. I have to say I’m not really happy with any of them. None of them stand out or seem exceptional in any way. Of course they all remind me of the different places I’d visited, but none seem well enough to frame, or enlarge or show off.
Here is the gallery with some more photos of the trek.
