National Lighthouse Day
Today August 7, is National Lighthouse Day. Brought to us by the Lighthouse Act of 1789, signed into law by President George Washington.
This picture is one of my favorites. While traveling in 2010 with my friend Gregory, I snapped this in Massachusetts. I cannot remember exactly where in the state it was. Probably on our way to the Cape that day. Early morning sunrise it was an unplanned stop. As it turned out I was standing in the right spot at the right time. The sunlight coming through the top of the lighthouse is natural. No touch-ups. No filters. It was just the right photo at exactly that moment. We laughed, Gregory was standing next to me on my right, and he also took a photo and did not have the same outcome. Wild! I love it when I do something amazing without expecting to do so.
I took this picture in 2023. Our first trip to the coast. Located in Crescent City California, the Battery Point Lighthouse. I didn’t take the walk up to the Lighthouse on this day. Wolf wasn’t up for it, and I remember it was very windy and there was a sign that stated walk across the bridge to the lighthouse at your own risk during bad weather. Me, not a thrill seeker, decided to not take the journey. I settled for a distant photo instead.
During our trip up the Oregon Coastline, we took a daytrip in the motorhome and visited the Umpqua River Lighthouse. I’ve added the history sign. It was smaller than I expected. it is nestled in a neighborhood as most of the historical spots along the coastline. As you can see from the mailboxes for homes nearby. Someone mentioned to me there are nine lighthouses along the Oregon coast. This is the only one we visited. As we traveled North, now I don’t remember if I spotted others. Maybe one or two. By this point in our trip, I was in awe of the coastline itself. I’m sure it would make a great road trip itinerary. I believe you have to travel down a few side roads to see them all. And in a motorhome, that was something we didn’t want to chance getting stuck in a tight area. Coastline communities have very tight, narrow roads that are not RV friendly. My recommendation would be to google satellite the area beforehand.
I love lighthouses. My mother did as well.
For me they are surviving proof that through all of the advances in technology they remain a prominent stance that we cherish their history. No longer a grueling job needed for a keeper during harsh weather. Sailors and ship captains no longer need to keep a close eye out for the beaming light to guide them to shore. Now they are adornments for visitors of days gone by. Just a simple cylinder building with a glass top and a light that many seek to visit. Yeah, I’m kind of one of those people.
I hope your week is good and you are safe and healthy. I just wanted to drop a post about today in history. A topic I am interested in, and I find notable in people’s travels.

These freeze-dried meals are such a scam, most of them are like 50% cheapest mashed potatoes powder.

The final descent down the mountain and below the treeline in last month's hike involved a trail with variable types of footing. Mostly steep and covered with large boulders with occasional "ledgy" sections with small ledges, 3-5 feet high (~1+ m), that had to be climbed down (including a ladder on a big ledge!). But also some short sections where the trail leveled off and was boggy. An easy, fun descent! #FootpathFriday #hiking #mountains

Hiking Massif trail in #Norway: part final. While hiking under a nonstop rain or snow for several hours is not the most enjoyable activity, a short glimpse of the sunlight after offers a chance for some spectacular photos.

My #FootpathFriday contribution... I wish I was there today to be honest..
This was part of a bike and hike where we returned in the rain. But as we were prepared for it, it was more fun than expected! -

Morning réflexion. What do you do high in the Huayhuash Mountains when you wake up with a bad fever and that incredible view? Is it worth pushing deeper, or is it wiser to go down and off‑map to reach the next village? Those moments of doubt stay with me, just like the view !

Tag 4 und 5 in #Vietnam waren wir mit einer örtlichen Guide (Angehörige der ethnischen Minderheit der Red Dao in der #Sapa -Region) auf einer 2-tägigen #Trekking -Tour.
Grandioses Erlebnis! Wir sind gefühlt stundenlang über die Betonränder von Wassergräben balanciert, im Matsch herumgeschlittert, haben spontan bei der Maisernte geholfen, haben zusammen gekocht und gemeinsam gegessen, in ihrem Haus übernachtet, ein Kräuterbad genommen...

#footpathfriday from the archives. Perhaps the longest log bridge I've ever encountered over the Wallowa river in Eagle Cap Wilderness. August of '23.

I really need to stop watching hiking YouTube videos. Rather than making me say, "I really should get out for a hike this weekend" they usually make me say, "why yes, I should pay $129 for a small spoon because it'll shave almost three grams off my pack weight :/

August 7, 1983, 43 years ago today: I left the Brien Shelter at 6:00. It had taken me an hour to regroup — psychologically more than physically. All day, I had been driving this out-of-shape body towards a single goal: that shelter. Then, I discovered I had to push it farther to water that probably did not exist. It was a somewhat discouraging prospect.#backpacking #hiking #outdoors #landscapephotography #NewYork #nature #forest #mountains #AppalachianTrail

Nisyros: For when you feel like stepping inside a crater
It was a casual Saturday night, and we were passing the time at an uneventful singles' gathering by the seafront. A close friend was about to leave Greece for a research position in Northern Europe, and we were discussing ideas for one last island escape. One final dose of the Aegean sun before her departure. -

Here is my final sketch from my #hike in #Piedmont in July.
My notes on this drawing are simple:
Capella della Madonna della Neve, 1,480 mThe strange contraption on the right is the freight elevator used to transport fresh food to the Refugio. Canned goods and other non-perishable foods are delivered by helicopter at the start of the season.

Steigende Temperaturen verändern das Wandern in tiefen Lagen. Die Berner Wanderwege wollen Schattenplätze schaffen und Wege verlegen.

August 7, 1983, 43 years ago today: I crossed New York Route 17 just after descending Agony Grind and entered Harriman State Park, a place historic on the AT. When the idea of this long-distance trail was conceived in 1921, only a few sizable stretches of existing trail could be incorporated.#backpacking #hiking #outdoors #landscapephotography #NewYork #nature #forest #mountains #AppalachianTrail

I hadn't visited this area before, and was mostly alone in this tranquil and almost mysterious area. It was all very green mossy due to all the recent rain, but mostly good hiking conditions.

Across the valley I crossed the small Mikkelsbroen bridge and climbed a bit again to reach the goal for my hike, the small Bogstifossen waterfall.

Followed a small, steep trail down towards Våkendalen, and found ruins of the farmsteds abandoned in the early 1900s.
