Though men now possess the power to dominate and exploit every corner of the natural world, nothing in that fact implies that they have the right or the need to do so.

Here are some spectacular views of the Cascades as we Climb Mt. Pinnacle and Mt. Castle in July 2006.  St Helens vents some gas and we get wide open views of Mt. Rainier.

Other Stuff:

 

It's time to cut back to the minimum, time to spare excess and keep things down to just the necessary.  So I've made a few changes on the site.   Some links are dated and not of any relevancy anymore so I've cut those.  I'm keeping all the outdoor content and splitting the new additions into photo presentations that are essentially separate from the written content.  This will allow me to get more posted sooner and I won't have to spend a ton of time managing pictures down to a downloadable size.  So watch for new content!  

 Thanks again for stopping in!
