Travel: Road Trip #2 - Smith Rock, Oregon
Exploring Smith Rock State Park
July 24, 2010
Hiking up "Misery Ridge" trail. Yep, that's its name.
It's not that long of a hike, but you gain just under 1,000 feet in elevation.
Brutal, but pretty views pay off.
Monkey Face. Three people in our group climbed it.
Apparently it's a relatively easy climb (5.7),
just a little intimidating because it's a 350-foot spire.
But for me, just making it up Misery Ridge without
fainting was enough of an accomplishment.
More shots of Monkey Face.
The below one is the angle where you can actually see the head of a monkey.
When you zoom in, you can see my three friends around the monkey's neck.

Travel: Road Trip #1 - Driving to Oregon
We drove eight hours from Marin to Bend, Oregon.
Thankfully, the trip was well worth it.
Some images from the drive:
Mount Shasta
Approaching a storm.
From here, it didn't look like the kind of storm with
giant stick-to-the-road hail and thick fog.
It was intense.
Mount Shasta as we emerged from the storm.
More photos from the trip to come.

Travel + Video: 'We are Golden' Road Trip
This was actually the very first thing I posted on my blog. But since i'm finishing up a video about my March Japan trip, I thought it might be nice to revisit my earlier work (which was filmed with a video camera that obviously can't even do its main function well).
Japan video coming next week. Woooo!

Travel — We Are Golden
Two years ago my best friend and I reached road trip euphoria.
We shared the driving. I did most of the filming.
We left Boise, Idaho in May 2008 and over the course of six weeks went to Buckley (Washington), the San Juan Islands, Seattle, the Oregon Coast, Chico, San Francisco, Newport Beach, Catalina Island, San Clemente, Las Vegas and Reno. At each destination we stayed with a friend or relative.
