LFE 2010

Had to go to Chicago for business a few weeks ago - turns out, once you pay to fly across Canada, it's like cab fare down in the LFE from state to state ($680 to Chicago and back, only an extra $200 to divert to STL and Seattle inbetween). Chicago was cool, great to visit STL with the fam (95 degree weather in May was interesting). Thennnnnn - back to the PNW (Pacific Northwest) to meet my buddy Jeff. Reeeeallly bad weather down there. Planned on camping alot - camped one night (after climbing over a barrier in North Cascades National Park, which was still CLOSED). Pretty bad luck on the weather - next time I leave AK between May and September (which apparently had the best Memorial Day weekend ever, which I missed) it will be to a desert, or a tropical isle, or something.

The good news is I did get some great pics, despite the gloomy weather:


Ohhhhhh - oops! Somehow my camera was destroyed in transit to either CHI or STL. Unfortunate to say the least. These things happen, and there wasn't much to photograph anyway. I'm in the market for a new one, and hopefully will have some images worth sharing soon.
