This is a work of fiction. All of these photos are photoshopped. All of them. It's just not real life. You can pretend like those are "crevasses" and "trails" but I know they're really just poorly executed efforts at cutting and pasting. Maybe take a graphic design class or something.

Also, it would have been really funny if that dude's soon-to-be-fiance was one of the people to punk out after the cleaver. And by funny, I mean tragic. A real life dramedy if you will.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the star. I was contemplating putting in a picture of Chicken in a Biscuit but you would have said that was photoshopped as well. In other news...I just pulled out one of my chest/neck hairs and it turned to golden thread. I think I can expect a visit from Rumpelstiltskin tonight...sigh...
You walked on a ladder and snow. What's so impressive about that? I climbed up a ladder on my roof and pushed snow off of it. I added one more element by shoveling snow. Call me when you do something impressive.
There was a shovel! At Ingraham Flats...it's how we made level spots for our tents! Sigh...if only I could find people to do Granite Peak. Now that would impress people I think.
Extremely entertaining! In my head typically a refrain of 'left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot. Don't puke, keep breathing' is running. I think that I am going to try pelting my boyfriend with snowballs instead... may spice things up :-D he is usually behind me though... will take skill.
You might want to try to "speed" things up with snowballs. Maybe toss a few his way to make him go faster. If he gets upset about it...calmly explain that snowballs make great short-term pets and that he looked lonely so far behind.
Anyway, I'm happy you were entertained! Thank you for reading!
Yeah, the DC route is heavily wanded. That's great for those traversing from another route and descending the DC. Watch out for those big crevasses near the summit!
I'll bet. I was grateful for them the whole way up. I think our detour actually saved us some time though...my memories might be hazy on that, but the way back seemed longer on that portion.
You're taking grannydriving to a whole new level... :-P
I've made it to Seattle once from Detroit Lakes, MN in 17 hours.
And I regularly (at least once every two months) drive to Amsterdam (about 850 miles) - this never takes more than 8 or 9 hours, occasionally 10 if there's heavy traffic or road construction around Berlin or Hannover...
My record however was from Rostock, Germany to Kraków, Poland - 920 kilometres (about 550 miles) - in 4 hours and 20 minutes - including two breaks for filling up the tank. This happened in a nice little German rental car given for my use by my insurance after a break down.
But overall a very entertaining read... Only need to make a note to myself to never go on a 1000 mile road trip with you as it'll take forever :-P LOL
Whoa whoa whoa...everyone just calm down for a minute. In my defense, google maps says it should take a little less than 13 hours. Also, I didn't put in our frequent stops because of the girl with the small bladder. I had a real moment of silent and meaningful pondering as I considered if I should bore everyone with the frequency of our stops to cater to her needs. I hope she never reads this comment and sees that I am throwing her under the bus, but whatever, I don't even care.
Also, I might be jealous of your many travels. At any rate, I think I have a solution to your doubt in my driving abilities. You can just drive and I'll just lay about trying to pass the time making awkward comments about the scenery. Thank you so much for reading, I'm happy you enjoyed it!
