we were freezing at the pass trying to get a hitch - and we got in to this diner... first example of grits, a southern delicacy apparently - and home fries, so warming - my kneecaps stopped shaking violently...
can't actually remember which mountain this is, maybe san gorgino, but in the last section there's been a lot of snowy looking mountains, walked around one today in fact...
so i've actually seen 8 rattle snakes now, and this is not a particularly good shot, but this is a rattler i saw same day as the bear and rabbit with weird ears...
this is a crazy hare i saw in the desert after whitewater... great ears.
ok, so i know it's a bad shot, he was running pretty fast, but this is my first bear. the other night i was hiking alone, had accidentally overshot my friends, and they were several miles behind, following my footsteps, and overlaying my prints were possibly a mountain lion's...
LOVE the ears. So much.
ReplyDeleteIt seems you are conquering the astounding feat that is adjusting to the American diet!! :P enjoy! Haha :)
Zoe was excited that you've seen a bear and rattlesnakes. We were talking about you on Friday while walking home from school (can't remember why). Always good to read about your adventure. Praying your body will be strong and you'll learn lots.

Very impressive ears! I saw one(hare ie) at sunrise at Brachina Gorge in the Flinders a couple of weeks ago but i'm sure his ears weren't that big!
