Mountain Blaquemore

12 Miles Mt Blaquemore or the more common name MT Blackmore. It was named for a tourist who had the unfortunate inconvenience to perish in her Montana adventure. As usual it the banal: illness. So they named a damn mountain for her. I'm sure she's was a lovely person. She was British. They're all lovely people. My pet peeve is the fact that I'm coming on to 25 years in this state. You'd think they could name one thing for me. It's really not alot to ask. I wouldn't even demand a mountain, even though there are some perfectly good mountains with at this point no name. No, I'll take a hillock or ditch or street or cul de sac.
The starting elevation for the hike is 6,720. The elevation gain is 3,434 feet from the trailhead. Everyone says that it's 10 miles, but my trusty pedometer says 12.57. My feet say 12 miles. Kaleau the dog is of course dog tired.

4 miles sypes canyon. At night. at 1.5 miles I got a little creeped out walking in the dark. I felt the hot fetid breath of a cougar breathing down my neck. So I turned on a little headlight and it turned out ok

What the Hell?

4.5 miles This apparition is by a creek in a meadow along a walking trail near my home. We cannot figure out what it is. There is a bench and tables nearby.

6 miles This is Bill, Bill and Kay just finished a canoe trip up the Missouri River from the confluence to the Three forks. 1300 miles UPRIVER. Hence the scratches on the canoe. They arrived the same day 200 years hence that Lewis and What's his name arrived.

4.75 miles I was on the way to the Bob Dylan concert. (Yah!) and Thought that I should take a picture while it was easy. Five minutes later I was walking by a house with the Family of 4 two small children on the front steps about to imprint their marks in the fresh cement. Ah regrets. I then walked by a house raised up about 20 feet. That might elicit a return trip.

6.25 Jaunty boat.  

4.5 miles Jackpot casino at night. where fortune awaits.  

Lewis and What's his name Mini Golf Course

4 Miles Lewis and what's his name were here exactly (Three Forks, 30 miles away) 200 years ago. I was going to take a picture of a dugout canoe, but at the Lewis and what's his name show at the Museum of the Rockies this came up. A mini golf course with St Louis and the Three Forks as holes. The rocks on the left are the Rockies. Get it rocks-Rockies. See what they missed. 200 years of progress, landing a man on the moon, the destruction of the Native American culture, World dominance leading to that pinnacle of American culture: Mini Golf. Gads.

Mt Baldy

13.5 miles Baldy Mountain. Starting elevation 5100 ft ending elevation is 8801. 3700 feet. The metal bar gets a lot of lightning hits. The metal can is for messages. The I can't believe I made it whoo hoo stuff.

What the heck is this?

4.5 miles. Total miles 2670.05 Total miles into Mexico 529. Location: about 200 miles south of Chihuahua. What the heck is this? A personal gyroscope? They definitely have a place for a Human or monkey. It's attached to a trailer. I think it's a machine to make you dizzy. Heck why don't you just spin in circles?

5.5 Miles. Ran into a school having a concert in the evening. Either that or it's a secret convention of epileptics. Synchronized epilepsy at that. The young fellow in red and white needs more ritalin.

6 miles Some of the best photos come when walking alleys, there's a unvarnished view of life, the one that doesn't face the public.

Turkeys, ducks and chickens

4 miles
It was strangely frightening. My friend George and I were going to see his radio tower, parked in the lot and lo here they come to the car. They wanted food and were not afraid to go get it. Honking and having a arabesque sense of body space. Maybe my brain was channelling attacks of the dinosars.
Rest assured dear readers, I escaped unscathed. The turkeys, ducks, and chickens however lost their souls to the camera.

If I was really really obsessive, I'd map every walk I've done. That said
I considered it.
