Walking the PCT is a game. Games have rules of play. I have been pondering the type of video to make. Watching so many others on Youtube has helped clarify things I like and do not like. I like raw. I do not like contrived. Contrived,” like, one sets the camera down and films oneself … Continue reading “More Rules”
After looking into it, rather than comments for each post, I saw the simple thing was to provide a secure contact form for anyone who visits my site. Hosting a comment forum without an additional admin person is impossible for me at this time. I simply cannot monitor my site that frequently.

First, I have learned that they do not behave as expected. Any comment you make gets dropped down a black hole. I wanted a human moderated blog. No bots! I had it set so that once you had your first comment approved, you could thereafter comment. But that appears to be broken. And finally, since … Continue reading “Turning Off Comments For The Moment”

You are looking at a great view, like a canyon or a mountain range, the clouds or the stars, and someone says, “That makes me feel small.” Usually, they will have all this gooey wonder in their voice and say it like this, “Doesn’t that make you feel small?” No. Looking at something big does … Continue reading “Do You Feel Small When You Look At Something Big?”
This date last year, I was trying to get from Campo, CA, at the Mexican border, to Houser Creek, sixteen miles or so away, and I am not sure about the spelling. For four days, I could not get over one little mountain. I kept running out of water because was going so slow. My … Continue reading “Thinking Of The Pacific Crest Trail Again.”
