That first picture of me is in Fern Canyon. It runs up from the beach and gets filled with fog every night. it is about 30-50 across and the walls are about 30 feet high. They are covered from top to bottom with several kinds of ferns.
It was a very remarkable place.
I found a link to some other pictures of it and the Redwood national forest.
Gosh I need to get back up there.
Redwood National Forest
Unfortunately, I didn't have time. We were doing a "tour": started at Tucson, where we were staying with friends, and drove up to the pertrified forest. Then across to GC via Meteor Crater. Then back down to Tucson via Flagstaff and Phoenix. Later drove over to San Diego (boy, what a drive - is there a purpose to Yuma? apart from frying eggs on the pavement, that is).Quote:

One day I'm going to visit Utah: my American friend Jim claims that Utah would have to be banned from any "most beautiful state" contest, just to give the others a chance.
Did you go down to Saguorro National Park ? There are these giant cactii.. one of a kind ;)Quote:

I am inclined to agree with him.. Utah is beautiful and much more than that is the diversity.. Each 25 miles you drive, the landscape changes from dull grey to bright red to layered rock formations.I haven't seen such a varied landscape in any other state.. Some pics here from my Utah trip:Quote:

to be frank.. there is something like that in most places, I beleive.. one just has to take the time to explore..
For some people deserts can be boring.. but I don't find it so..
Yah, I once camped in Death Valley for a few days, in December. Very beautifulQuote:

He says the guy looked like he was going to die.
But if you have ever hiked in sand dunes you know how brutal that is.
I have driven through Utah but only North Utah down to salt lake city. Have never seen the south.
Boy this is getting depressing. I have had 2 days of vacation in the last 3 years.
I really need to get back out on the road/trail.
I think the more appropriate question is 'Where are you?' :DQuote:

It is good to see you again Mick. I stopped posting on code guru for a year or so... boy things have changed.
I have to agree with you, I also miss gal.
Is this thread being hijacked? :D Glad to see you again Mick.

I hope this thread is being hijacked....brings back memories.
All we need is good ol sam to show up and object.
I always figured gal ended up going to England and got to be busy to chat.
Maybe non-disclosure problem.
Who knows, maybe gal has got hairy legs propped up on a desk, lecturing idiot students.
Now that's hawt :DQuote:

I've just returned from a fabulous weekend in Limerick, and I'm finally starting to get some blood back in my Guinness stream. If any of you fancy a good time with great people, visit Limerick when there's a rugby match on. If you're supporting the other team, I'd be surprised if you had to pay for your drinks for the whole weekend.
There once was a man from Nantucket...you see where this is going :DQuote:

Sounds great! Not that I'm a rugby fan (well, while rugby is not so popular here in Germany, I used to play it several years ago when I went to primary school in South Africa - but I never really understood the rules...;)) - But the Guinness part really caught my attention. :DQuote:

Nice one Marius and exterminator...
Nice exterminator and cilu.

You don't know what the star crown is? It's called Euro. :p
Ha, I just got the jackpot: post #1000 and reply #1000. ;) :p
I'm back from a wonderfully pleasant and long vacation in Bombay - a vacation studded with nice moments and lovely evenings.
One such moment is captured below.
The photograph features two childhood friends - Sujit sitting next to me, and Vinay sitting behind.
The three of us grew up together and are meeting after a gap of almost 5 long years. We now live in three different cities, are involved in three different professions and got together this Jan in what was a nostalgic reunion...
