...and that's a very good thing!



 This is the hike that started it all.
2008
Tullulah Gorge, Georgia


 
 Thousands of steps down to the river.
(And hours later, thousands of steps back up!)


 Along the river's edge


 And down steep rock faces.


 But no bridge, so this is how we crossed the river.


 And finally, there it is.
Sliding Rock!
But do I try it?


 You bet I do!


And I haven't been the same since!

Life at the top of the world - Nepal!

 Yak butter votive candles in Muktinath Temple


 Chili peppers

 Dried peas and beans


 Brass plates, pots and heaters

 Religious puppets


 Beads




 Near Patan, Nepal


 Vegetable stand


 Making funnel cakes


 Canoes from high above Lake Fewa, Pokhara, Nepal


 Yes, baggage claim at Kathmandu airport!


 One of several thousand loads to be carried up Mt. Everest


 Locals open their homes for trekkers to use their "facilities"


And what those "facilities" usually looked like

 Main Street, Namche Bazaar, Nepal


 Trekkers love their electronics!


NOT your typical trekker!


 THIS is the typical trekker!


 Beauty along the Everest trail

 The local 7-11




 Prayers wrapped in silk inside a temple


Yes, even in Lukla, Nepal!
