Just (not so) little old me from a week or so ago looking all cold and thoughtful ... not sure what's going on to be honest.. But it was cold, so ... that's something right?

In the process of quick-browsing photos to post for 'Guess This Spot', I finally came across one to post here. It'll have to do until I dig into the folders to find a better one.

Nice to put a face with the avatar!

Nice to put a face with the avatar!

10 years ago, that avatar was a dead-ringer for me. Then I got old... It's probably time to revise it to the gray-haired grandpa version...

This one is for @Artemus, I know how he fancies the kilt. On top of Van Cott today.

Ran into this tug boat on top. His name is Winston. Man, I just love English Bulldogs. Hey @Ben don't you think Winston's mug and mine look similar? I couldn't get him to smile either!

Now we just have to get you to shave your legs.

that is an extremely good looking dog. also, if you put a kilt on him, i wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I saw this thread and thought I'd put up some pictures. I noticed a few "then and now" pictures and thought I'd take the same format.

When I first took up hiking and backpacking I rarely took a camera and when I did I never took selfies. In the 1970's I had a few overseas postings and started to be more serious about using a camera. The oldest hiking picture I can find with me in it is the one below which was taken in 1975 on Guam Island in the Pacific.


This is on Mahe Island, Republic of Seychelles (Indian Ocean) in 1976. The island on the horizon is Silhouette - which I still think is about the coolest name ever for an island and very appropriate at this location.


On Luzon Island in the Philippines in 1978. The steps were carved into the side of the cliff by the Spanish 400 years ago.


On the east coast of Honshu Island, Japan in 1979. This is the same area that was devastated by a tsunami a few years ago.


Coast of Oregon, 1982. She eventually agreed to marry me.


Sangre De Cristos, CO - Late 1990's


With my kids on the Continental Divide. Early 2000's. Never Summer Wilderness, CO


Same kids. Badlands NP, SD 2011. This is one my favorite all time backpacking pictures.


Canyonlands last year.

On the summit of Taum Sauk Mountain - the highest point in Missouri. As you can see, it was a tough climb. This was also last year.

I wasn't planning on posting anything from my hike to the top of Jack's Mountain today but while sitting up top, I could here a pig like sound coming up the trail. I thought to myself, "no this can't be", but sure enough the next thing I know is there is a bulldog making it to the top. That is two weeks in a row! This one happened to be a French Bulldog named Bear. I couldn't believe that I had run into bulldogs on top of peaks (albeit shorter ones) two weeks in a row! In all my years of hiking, I can't recall every seeing either one on a trail. If I can only get to see a Basset Hound next weekend on Mount Wire and an Irish Wolfhound on Grandeur a couple weeks later then I will be able to say that I've seen all my favorite hound dogs on top of a mountain.

A Bighorn Sheep? Perhaps a Mountain Lion? No, it is the ever elusive Mountain Bulldog!

Bear, the French Bulldog

You met an English and a French, next week it'll be an American Bulldog.

This may be a repost but I'm not sure. Me going over from Cascade to Paintbrush canyon on the TCT.

Scatwoman! I love it. Does she know?

No, not yet!

I hadn't thought of that. What are the chances?
