Post your outdoors pics.

Here are some from a trip I took to Glacier National Park this summer, bad camera and forest fire smoke included.

I didn't take these pics (my camera phone is smudgy), but here I am in the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, we visited the hotsprings that are 6 miles in. This was mid-November, was pretty wet, foggy, and cold, but worth every step, the springs are awesome and vacant, unlike like the other more accessible springs along the Highway 12/ Lochsa.




The log crossing over Boulder Creek was very sketchy. That log was covered in snow and was a few years old. We got to a center island in the creek and rock-hopped to the other side.

I've definitely seen much better Northern Lights, tonight they were pretty dull because the solar wind was travelling relatively slow even though it was a G2 level geomagnetic storm. Disappointing, really.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Couple of pics from day hiking on Mt Tam new years day

You can go from some kind of pine forest areas to wetter more pacific coast rain forest areas depending on where you're at, but I like pines



And a view down into the bay area with San Francisco visible



Honestly easy to see why so many people want to live around here it freakin' owns except for lovely cost of living

In non recent pictures, I'm realizing that goddamn I really need to get back to the Wind Rivers...such a cool place.

Headed up Angel Pass, hard to get a sense of perspective but the rocks were much bigger than they look. Some solid rock hopping there to the top of the pass and then some route finding down through the slabs on the other side.



Cook Lakes in the morning with some clouds, pretty stuff but a wet morning with overgrown trails



It's a great place.

other than that I need to also get back to the Bighorn Crags in Idaho...gently caress man I need more time off work

but here's a picture of my dog stealing my sleeping bag

Finally got up to Yosemite Valley in the winter. This may be the best time to visit as the crowds are minimal and the scenery is exquisite with the snow.
