Slim Jims, while terrible any other time, are great for long hikes.

But this was impressive

Of course, the Grand Canyon is a bit bigger than the Hoover Dam.
For those interested, I hiked down that trail in the the middle right of the shot. It pretty much ends right there, overlooking the Colorado River. (Also, the maps lies. It’s claimed to be an 8-12 hour hike. It isn’t. I was out in 5.5 hours, including a 30 minute break above the river.)

Another from Bryce. I’m sure it had a name, but it escapes me…

I’m off to Kilimanjaro. I’ve again scheduled posts for just about every day.
See ya.

Giraffe in Arusha
Posted on August 17, 2010 by Michael
While in Tanzania, Arusha National Park will be near where I’m staying when I’m not on Kilimanjaro. It’s a park known for a good deal of wildlife – the sort of wildlife stereotypical of Africa. (In fact, Tanzania is rife with beautiful wildlife stereotypes.) Unfortunately, I’m not forking over the two grand to take a safari through the area, so I may not see everything I hope to see. I will, however, be driving through Kilimanjaro National Park, so I hope to see all the big beasts of Africa there. Lions, tigers, and…uh, zebras, oh my. But if there’s only one wild animal I get to see, I hope it’s a giraffe.
