Canoeing in Maine

P1040342

So last weekend I went up to Maine to go canoeing with Peter, his brother Dave, and some friends of theirs from Maine. It was my second sojourn into New England, and it was very enjoyable. We had perfect luck in getting there when it was just warm enough to be pleasant, but before the terrible biting black flies hatched out and swarmed over our poor bodies.
Here are some photos.

West coast visit

P1030997

Hey there. I just returned from nearly 3 weeks on the west coast. some would say it was silly to leave nyc during may, the nicest month weather-wise, but I had a very good time visiting Albuquerque, Utah, SF and Nevada. On my trip I did many things, including slot canyon exploring, camping out in the desert, hitchhiking across half of Utah, bike riding in Reno and SF, Sailing on the San Francisco Bay, visiting many friends in SF, attending my stepsister's college graduation, and hanging out with friends and family in Reno.
Below are some photos of exploring slot canyons that I took when my friend Peter and I were in Escalante National Park and Capitol Reef National Park. I'll post more photos from the rest of the trip later.
