Telescope Peak Summit, Death Valley, Zion
Hi Y'all,
A few more pics from the hiking in California, Nevada, and Utah in August.
Rocky on Telescope Peak (elev 11,048'), with Badwater Basin (elev -282') in Death Valley in the background.
Rocky at Badwater Basin.
The intersection of Zion Canyon and Pine Creek Canyon, Zion National Park.
Also, be sure to surf over to the City of Knoxville 100 Block Construction Blog for a few photos I dug out of the KUB archives of downtown Knoxville in 1961.

Mt. Whitney Summit
Hi Y'all,
Hopefully, I'll find the time to post a few more pics from the August adventure out west. I'll start with the money shot, looking west from the summit of Mt. Whitney, 14,495' above sea level.
The entire hike was one day, covering 21 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 6,132'. The trail offers a tantalizing peek into Sequoia National Park, but that will be another trip someday.
Of course, this year's travels are far from over. I'm very excited about returning to Belgium and visiting France for the first time, all in a few short weeks. Until then, I'll be adding a photo or two from the last trip, which involved Death Valley, Mt. Whitney, Zion NP, Hoover Dam, and the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Not a bad week.

The Ruins of Dungeness
Hi Y'all,
The photo below is of the ruins of Dungeness, taken in March, 2009.
Cumberland Island is a place to which I'll return for a longer visit someday. But the scouting trip during the FL vacation provided an incredible glimpse of the island's ecosystems and man-made influences, including feral horses. Most majestically is Dungeness, former home to Thomas Carnegie's wife, Lucy, at the beginning of the 20th century. The care (both past and future) of the island brings to mind many questions regarding the handling of natural resources, and at what point should man's past contributions be deemed worth preserving.
