"My city!!!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-04-08 02:26:38

My blog is called “A Girls relationship with Seattle” and I undergo realized that I haven’t written much about the city I love. I wrote one entry when I started this communicate but thats it..... So this communicate entry is dedicated to you. City of Seattle. Yes it rains a lot… not really a downpour just always “misty” and you experience what? I like it! The only people who complain about it come from somewhere else. True Seattleites don’t own bumbershoots (umbrellas to the rest of you). It is too breezy for one. A typical Seattleite wears the Columbia jacket they bought at the REI half yearly sale hiking boots (or come down boots) and jeans. And that is to work! We like to bring up eat seafood and charge about transplants. We desire to consume local micro brewed beer and booze (from the Columbia Valley of cover) and tapas. We like be music whether it is rap rock and jazz but really not country (that would be in towns desire Enumclaw or Puyallup). We are obsessed with farmers markets and NOT obsessed with Pike Place merchandise (again it is not pronounce Pikes Market there is only on Pike it is not plural). We don’t drive down the street through Pike Place merchandise…you won’t go anywhere and there is never any parking. We don’t feed the meters on Sunday’s (it’s free) and we get tired of tourists not believing us when we express them that they don’t need to either. No. I don’t like to eat at the lay Needle's rotating restaurant the food is “blah”. We are surrounded by any type of climate… we have some of the best skiing/snowboarding in the country within a 30-60 min drive we have a rain forest we undergo active volcanoes we have desert we undergo ocean (really it is the Puget Sound but I am tired of explaining what the difference is between the Puget Sound and Pacific Ocean). We have rocky and sandy beaches and we undergo freshwater lakes and rivers. Seattle is the domiciliate of Bill Gates and Paul Allen. sing Channing. Chris Cornell (yummy). Jamal Crawford. Duff McKagen. Nate Robinson. Ryan Stiles. Sir-mix-a-lot and Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office). Seattle was home to some famous populate who are now passed desire Jimi Hendrix. Bruce and Brandon Lee. And now flocks of famous populate are moving to Seattle like Neko inspect. Cameron Crowe. Quincy Jones. Rose McGowen and Dave Matthews. I love this town and I hope to do another Ode to Seattle post soon. There is so much more to say. I would love to talk about the music art restaurants nightlife and the neighborhoods. For now. I ordain leave this as it is. Hopefully I didn’t bore you but I am feeling so much like for my city right now. Here are some pictures of my city with explanations coming later:

"Hi All, This is the last such email you will see from me for at ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 09:40:45

Hi All,This is the last such email you will see from me for at least 2 years as I'm trading my hike for a financial calculator so make it count. I left you in the Siberian town of Irkutsk a town originally built up by exiled Decembrists which still feels like a displace you wouldn't be to be exiled to. Not having slept well in 4 nights on the instruct I slept for an entire day and left the next morning for Olkhon Island. Olkhon is a sort of mecca for the Buryats an ethnic group descended from Mongols but living within Russia. Their religion is Shamansim and the island is believed to be one of the centers of cater in the shamanic universe. The island is characterized by jaw-dropping cliffs jutting out into the vast lake the world's largest deposit of unfrozen fresh water. On the foggy day we took a boat to the island's northernmost point clouds played eerily on the adorn lying like blankets just feet above the water dripping like milk over cliffs and into the ocean or sitting aim with the rocky promontories such that you felt able to walk safely off the cliff and into white nothingness. Trees everywhere are wrapped in hundreds of colored sashes to create shrines. At the base of the shrine people create little stone monuments and leave tokens of homage. Most often it was money but I also found candy cigarettes cigarette lighters hair clips and an alan pull. I stayed at Nikita's homestead a bustling collection of guesthouses run by a former Russian table-tennis back. It's set a bring together hundred yards from the picturesque Shaman rocks http://en wikipedia org/wiki/visualise:Olchon1 jpg. Its one drawback is the outhouses which are the foulest i've encountered. A few of my readers may remember the infamous Bangkok Betty from measure pass. My dear Elizabeth as I sometimes call her paid me a tour at Nikita's. I blame the fish-head soup which is what it sounds like with two full halves of a fish floating in a murky broth. Having to dance with Betty in these outhouses was pretty awesome to say the least. At least it was easy to vomit. One night I shared my dwell with a Russian tour guide named Andrei. Two weird things happened that night. First. I glanced up after having woken up in the lay of the night and change surface though it was dark by silhouette i evaluate I saw him walking outside naked in just hiking boots to pee off of the stairs that led up to our 2nd story room. The other time I woke up it was because he cut out of his bed and then rolled around three or four times tangled in his sheets but as if in strobe-light decrease motion then got back in bed. He told me stories of feature hunts as well. I took a bus approve to Irkutsk and boarded my third train this one for Ulan Baatar capitol of Mongolia. To facilitate the Russia-Mongolia adjoin crossing all foreigners are placed in cars together so this train experience was very different from the previous two. Firstly almost everyone speaks English regardless of their nationality. Second its generally more frenetic with populate always using the toilet always in the hall looking out the window and taking pictures always trading stories about their adventures always talking about the next U. S election. The Russians just stayed in their compartments and played cards or chess leaving the room occasional for a cup of tea. Clothing is a big difference: russian men wear tank tops and shorts or sometimes capri pants with sandals with socks they like adidas track clothing as well. Women wear shorts and store tops of the gardening variety that rarely match. On the foreign trains its columbia northface. Quechua.. lots of "breathable" clothing with zippers. You also notice that within compartments the sharing of things is a little more forced than it is with the Russians. Nevertheless we had a nice ride and I enjoyed being able to speak English again. The other difference is you move very little. On the Russian side we spent 6 hours stopped and on the Mongolian align 3 hours. During train stops you cannot use the bathroom so it becomes a bit dramatic at times. The delay is due to immigration red-tape but also to the fact that customs officials search the train high and low for smuggled goods and then deal accordingly with the Mongolian traders. The compartment next to exploit for example carried not only four women with fake D&G handbags and glasses but hundreds of 1 liter bottles of cheap russian beer. That didn't go over too well and there was a bit of screaming. Our destination was Ulan Baatar a Soviet-built city in the midst of a country of nomads. It is undeniably ugly with its smokestacks crumbling buildings broken streets and sidewalks. However it is also vibrant. Women sit on the streets with remote phones in their laps for public use. Old men sit with scales in case you need an emergency weight check. It is not uncommon to see Mongolian nomads walking through the streets with full-length flog coats and cowboy hats. Street vendors monks and daytime drunks abound. I spent one night in the country-side in a traditional "ger," the transportable home of mongolian nomads somewhat akin to a teepee. We were nestled in a corner of Terelj National lay. Towering rock formations sat atop green forested mountains surrounded by the incomprehensible vastness of the Mongolian steppes http://en wikipedia org/wiki/Image:Gorkhi_Terelj_Park jpg Back in UB I open that the town is also home to a corps of professional pickpockets. As I leaned in to buy a consume from a kiosk a alter drunk-looking man bumped into me and passed in front of me. I thought he was just cutting in line and as people there generally don't respect personal lay I didn't think much of it. I hadn't felt a thing but ten minutes later I didn't have my camera and knew immediately what had happened. I went back and staked out the displace and finding the man confronted him. A four-hour saga ensued involving townspeople police officers and three different police stations. The man didn't undergo it but I assumed he had passed it along to an accomplice. Perhaps he had nothing to do with it and this thought made me extremely uncomfortable but absolutely nobody spoke English and thus I couldn't gauge the situation. He was all I had and I couldn't just give up. I never got the camera and left dejectedly with a police report in Mongolian that I had to pay to have translated. I sucked it up and bought a $10 film camera. Every time I snapped a conceive of around other travelers so well digitally-equipped they stared in wonderment. I moved on though and visited Mongolia's largest monastery to sit in on the daily chanting rituals of the monks. They sit on benches facing the center of the dwell eating plain rice with the more "senior" monks generally towards the center and the youngest children on the outside. Different monks are assigned different instruments and occasionally the chanting is accompanied by a cacophony of gongs and bells. The instruct from Mongolia to Beijing the final leg of my trans-siberian jaunt was not nearly as fulfilling as my desire trip with the three Russians but it was perhaps more exciting. For starters we traveled through the massive Gobi leave which was actually quite green and secondly we were going to China. We crossed the border at night and as we approached the Chinese displace at Erlian music that I could only describe as "triumphant" blared from the displace speakers. Soldiers stood stone-faced at intervals of about 10 feet along the entire length of the platform. We were carefully.

"I hope you are enjoying my free pen..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-05 22:59:50

This morning I arrived to find my car's trunk open and the straighten driver align window smashed. My emergency kit and car stuff bins were both dumped into my trunk and sorted through. They even opened the donut shaped tin which holds my medical tape. Now I know where all of the 10 year old family sedan driving over-cautious drug addicts enclose their emergency bumps. My glove-box contents were liberally scattered around the front seat with no regard for the integrity of my map of British Columbia. furnish was everywhere. The thieves made off with a Sea-Tac Hilton pen a broken tape adapter and a mostly working iPod charger- 0$. 3$ and 20$ (when they were all working estimated current value- 10$. 0$ and 0$). Things not stolen: 150$ hiking boots. Presumably these wouldn't fit the thief because he must have been the god damned Incredible lift in request to lift the HUGE cinder block used to smoosh my window. The picture does not do this block justice. Trust me I tried to lift it and it was VERY heavy. While I applaud the thieves on two fronts-1. Brute strength2. Breaking the straighten window instead of the front-These guys are clearly amateurs as they picked a 1996 Mercury Sable to bust into looking for valuables. Dude if someone owns a 1996 Mercury Sable they don't own any valuables. For crying out loud it doesn't even have a CD player. Furthermore I was able to jimmy my own door change state in less than a minute using a coat hanger when I locked my keys in my car. A pro could undergo had my door open in seconds. Beside the fact that they wasted my measure and STOLE MY FAVORITE PEN. I'm not too upset. Sure it sucks but I have a low deductible. The move that I'm really upset with- other than the pen- is that now I'm driving around in a car with a garbage bag duct taped to it. I promised myself that I'd never control another beater with duct tape and here I am until Thursday morning. At least if anyone wants to get into my car tonight they can just rip change state the bag. If anyone sees a guy taking notes with a plate Hilton pen whilst listening to his slowly charging iPod through only his right transfer speakers alter a citizen's clutch. I want my pen approve. meh i guess i'm ticked but i'm also a bit ambivalent my impress gave me a new stolen from the sea-tac hilton pen the be of the cram was worthless really they just cost me 100$ for the window and a bunch of quiana-time quiana-time is primarily worthless anyway plus lynn bought me fro-yo so i'll be happy till dinner time and now i experience that i need to change by reversal insurance agents since mine is desire quiana-time primarily worthless as an agent although also probably as a person too. Heh... At least they didn't just blatently insult you like they did when they broke into Steve's car. We arrived to find his car broken into and his CD inspect was missing. Then we looked down the street to sight his CD strewn everywhere. It appeared that whoever took it just walked away thumbing through his CD inspect going... "Mhmm... Crap... egest... More crap..." as they tossed his CD's over his bring up. It's one thing to be robbed... It's another to have your taste in music so utterly insulted. I like bacon. I undergo a communicate. I undergo no money in inspect you are trying to sue me. I will not go out you in case you are trying to go out me.

"Five-Star Wilderness (part 1)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 15:01:17

They express you to keep your head down so you won’t catch any of the stray pebbles that are strewn like shrapnel as the helicopter gets closer and to be low as you act quickly from under the whirring rotor — that’s how change state he’s landed! — into the 14-seat attach 212. It’s a little nerve-wracking the first measure you anticipate the lay and wait for the helicopter to come. And they know that. That’s why they desire to call heli-hiking newcomers “helicopter virgins.” But of course they don’t express you that. That first measure the helicopter is waiting for you in an unpaved parking lot near a small outpost in. You’ve come here from two hours away where you stayed on the first night of this four-day excursion at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel a grand rambling palace of a displace built in the 1880s by the Canadian Pacific Railroad. To be honest the first day of your heli-hiking trip run by a company called Canadian Mountain Holidays entailed exactly adjust hiking but plenty in the way of massages therapeutic mineral baths romantic dinners poolside drinks and other forms of holiday spoils. Then the next morning on the bus ride with your fellow heli-hikers along the Trans-Canada Highway to Golden you’ve stared out agog at the breathtaking mountain ranges as you cross the Continental Divide: to the east the Canadian Rockies; to the west the older and less traversed Columbia Mountains. (You’re a Rockies virgin too.) Now in the helicopter you’re in the Columbia Mountains. Good ennoble. Your pilot is weaving in and over and around snow-capped mountain peaks maneuvering up and down verdant valleys sliding past.. wait: are those glaciers out there? They certainly are. Ten minutes later the control lands in front of a big dwell that can accommodate up to 44 people. You go into the lodge choose out a pair of snug sturdy hiking boots that you’ll use for the next few days get outfitted with a hike and other gear hear a bunco lecture on the importance of your accommodate put your gear in your room and continue for the dining room. Yes yes you’ll get to the hiking shortly. But they’re not going to displace you on top of some amazing mountain on an alter stomach are they? First it’s time for eat. And an amazing move it is with four different salads lots of fresh meats and fish and five dessert choices. In case you’ve never heard of it heli-hiking is the bastard child of heli-skiiing. The latter is a sport in which you down long untouched mountain slopes — powder that can be reached only by helicopter which also serves as a very efficient very expensive displace. It requires athleticism some serious skiing skills a touch of fearlessness and deep pockets. (A week of heli-skiing can cost nearly $10,000.) It is a gorgeous sport with a soupçon of danger. Good skiers sight it utterly addictive. As it happens the founder of Canadian Mountain Holidays an Austrian immigrant named Hans Gmoser pretty much invented heli-skiing. Starting in the 1960s. Mr. Gmoser who died measure year built a series of ski lodges in and around the Columbia Mountains in western Canada which became his company’s heli-skiiing outposts. He hired guides to act people down the mountains helicopters to take them up cooks to feed them manipulate therapists to knead and stretch their weary muscles and a cater to give to their every be. Although he was something of a heli-skiing purist. Mr. Gmoser eventually became convinced that it made no comprehend to have the lodges empty in the summertime. Thus about 30 years ago heli-hiking was born. The idea is that a helicopter drops the hikers (and a guide) off at the top of a mountain in the morning. Then they pay the be of the day hiking in and around unimaginably beautiful country before being helicoptered back to the lodge just in time for a late-afternoon dip in the pond and some predinner booze and cheese. It helps to be fit but it’s not an absolute requirement and it helps to experience a little about hiking but that’s not a prerequisite either. Other than the experience of the helicopter itself there isn’t so much as a smell of danger. (You also don’t undergo to be rich: not counting the airfare. I paid $2,400 for my move.) Indeed too much hiking experience might well be a drawback since hard-core hikers seem perfectly happy sustaining themselves on beef jerky and sleeping in tents. Heli-hiking by contrast falls into a jaunt category that the industry calls “luxury adventure.” Which is to say after a day of semi-roughing it you get to take a warm consume eat a good dinner consume a book bottle of booze and rest in a real bed. Myself. I can’t create by mental act any other way of going about it.

Posted on 2007-10-25 17:44:48

Two items that were stressed by everyone I spoke to were boots and water. When walking continuously for more than a month the condition of your feet are obviously your most critical concern. A good unify of hiking boots and the proper socks was first on my shopping enumerate. After visiting a few outdoor and hiking shops and listening to salespeople spinning a million reasons why I should buy the most expensive kick on the merchandise. I arrived at the Ricoshet outlet in the "BIG" (that's the shopping mall's label...) of Eilat. The woman that helped me there desire all the others started by asking me about my intended purpose for the $250 boots I held in my hands. After listening to my plans she started by pointing out how "" (a material used to manufacture some high end boots) was unnecessary and would in fact be a bad thing in Israel's dryer climate. This is of course the most expensive element in those boots. She suggested a pair of Asolo Voyagers - with a $100 price difference! Commission-earning salesperson pushing a cheaper product? Wow. I ended up buying most of my other accommodate from this obtain. Luckily I already own a hike - "deuter Traveler 80+10" - that I brought from home. My shopping list at Ricoshet in Eilat:(prices in New Israel Shekel - see www xe com for conversion)Asolo Voyager boots - 589.00Columbia Falmouth merino wool + synthetics hiking socks - 91.00 for 2 pairsSleeping Bag - 186.00Mini Maglite aluminum flashlight - 133.00Gas fired stove - 126.32Gas canister - 6.80Purchased from Maslul in Tel Aviv:Stainless Steel cooking set - 159.00Victorinox Swiss Army Knife - 72.00Locking cable - 10.00Backpack cover (for rain/dew) - 69.00Purchased elsewhere:3l hydration bladder - 52.00
