All inclusive luxury Caribbean Style! Oh, to be back on Island Time, mon! Our resort was in Ocho Rios, which is where Mick Jagger has a house. It's about an hour and a half east of Montego Bay on the coast, and may I say, it was a great way to waste our time doing pretty much nothing of consequence other than pool, beach, eat, drink, be entertained, and meander around the flowers (save a side trip to Dunn River Falls). How else could we possibly unwind out of 2012 and move into the new year of 2013?!!

What started as a part day trip to Red Rock Canyon Nevada ended up being a full day excursion to get out of Icebox Canyon after Heather wrecked her knee on a descent in the slot canyon. Fortunately, our first help was search and rescue trainer Don Lester and his wife Theresa who just happens to be an RN. There were others too - Las Vegas Metro Police.... Clark County Fire Dept.... an Army guy and his friend.... the girl who offered her shirt to be used as ties for the splint. We owe you many thanks, but it's also important to say how tough Heather was to get out to the stretcher.... 2 miles and 5.5 hours later while descending and ascending bouldered paths in 80° weather.

The original Star Wars is still 2nd on the list. Anyway, this is the complete collection of photos from the traveling technology exhibit.

Scott Brown http://www.stackpolebooks.com/contributorinfo.cfm?ContribID=13 (he of the guidebooks) says this is the best view in all of PA. It's either this or the Throne Room for me. There's a lot to fall in love with up here. The steep hike is challenging and it literally feels like it goes off the map at points. In the end, the view with all of the surrounding valleys is all intensive. The question is what do you want in your view? There's a lot of farms and roads and businesses in this view. In the main view of the Throne Room, it's more mountains. Really, it's a toss up.

What was meant to be 72 miles and 6 days ended up just under 20 and 2 days. From the blisters on my feet to drinking too much water and not being able to eat, I got whooped by day 2. The phone call went out at 2 and I got to Meadow Gap to be rescued by my trail angel at 730. That said, from April's hiking beginnings at Angel Falls to less than 4 months later, I was able to haul a huge 50+ pound pack over rocks and up hills with more "skill" than I ever had before. While I failed to make it, I still won by giving it my all and creating a benchmark to beat.

Just off of the Appalachian Trail exists the wall of stone that is Bear Rocks. Dropping 80 feet on the other side, there are plenty of great adventures to be had if only a person walks in the mile or so to it. IF YOU KEEP GOING BEYOND THIS, you will eventually come to the even steeper Knife's Edge, which affords viewers a chance to see the front side of the mountain valley. A quarter of a mile in the other direction is Bake Oven Knob, which is also featured here, where a person can see the front side of the valley as well. Bear Rocks is all about the back valley.

Sullivan Falls, Pigeon Falls, Bear Run Falls, and a lot of nameless little falls on Sullivan Run, which is a beautiful but scrambling around the sides trail right next to Ricketts Glen. It is beautiful, but be prepared to go belly button deep or through the brush to move through the creek above Sullivan Falls. This was described as Ricketts Glen before the trails went in, which is sort of true, but it's hard to be that awesome. Still, worth a trip if you go to Sullivan / Luzerne County for the weekend.

Once, I never thought I would go back. I sold my ice axe and crampons after getting life insurance and getting rattled at the prospect of a rescue to pull out a young girl who went in unprepared (that could be me?!). Nevertheless, I rebought gear and went in with Steve D. and we conquered the top 4 falls on both sides. The ice was super sweet, and it was a great hike. I can't wait to go back!

That said, my crampons and ice ax have been sold, so gone are the days of venturing into the extreme and the icy.

The final waterfall is the tough one - even if the ones before it are accessed with root grabs to ascend the 60degree incline (and greater) that much of the climb is.

From the NPS - Over 200 million years ago, the logs washed into an ancient river system + were buried quick + deep enough by massive amounts of sediment + debris also carried in the water, that oxygen was cut off + decay slowed to a process that would now take centuries. Minerals absorbed into the porous wood over hundreds + thousands of years crystallized within the cellular structure, replacing the organic material as it broke down over time. Here large jewel-like crystals of clear quartz, purple amethyst, yellow citrine, + smoky quartz formed.
