the evils of the american bush.... and other stuff...


yesterday we walked through sections of poison oak... forget bears or mountain lions, this stuff is the perilous evil of the forest. it sounds diabolical, you don't feel the effects until a day or too later, and you start to blister anywhere the oil has touched. it's actually 'contagious' because the oil gets everywhere and if you itch anywhere else you touch gets infected, included other people...



just before we hit agua dulce (which is where i am now), there were all these cool geological formations... i really need to write about trail angels and trail magic in here, however at the moment 'best in show' is playing in the back ground, and i think annie and i are going to try to go get some tucker...

  1. Hey Hike-a-While. Your photos are SO good! The wonders of technology hey - helping us feel connected to you while you're a million miles away in the depths of the trail. When i see you've posted something new on here I get so excited and do a wee jig.

  2. well i get pretty excited rading people's comments... it's a funny world where you can be immersed in the north american 'wilderness', and get a signal to communicate with people around the globe...
