“Go walk into the water, do you feel that? That’s a gentle tug, that’s a caress, that’s the water flooding around your ankles, legs, your hips. Sensual, you could say; that water knows things, it’s been around, witnessed, experienced.”—Flooded with Feeling on Yonder Journal http://yonderjournal.com/briefs/flooded-with-feeling/

We went to Colombia in March for another Dead Reckoning trip: this time, the squad rode out of Manizales on a mission to circumnavigate a very large, very active volcano. Benedict got really sick and we had to make a last-minute change to the route, but the fruit was awesome and the people better.

The Snoqualmie Nation considers this specific place, the place where heaven and earth meet. (Yonder Journal respects the Snoqualmie Nation's traditional assertion, but we also feel that it is necessary to note that all surface land, by definition, is the place where heaven and earth meet.)

”Archaeology inevitably is a destructive process. Working with nothing but the waste and ruin of the past, archaeologists are forced to develop multiple scientific methodologies that maximize a partial data set. The importance of scientific rigor is exasperated by the fact that excavation is a one-time act that removes the lion's share of information a site has to yield. Therefore, as a science, it is a carefully thought out process that requires precision, attention to minute detail, and complete respect for the slow process, as it can never be repeated again.”—William Gardner, Ph.D. Archaeology Student, Yale Dept. of Anthropology (via Destruction)

The area around Shorty Peak Lookout contains a mix of moist, dry and subalpine forest types. Mixed moist forests are the most common. These forests are a mixture of conifer species (western red cedar, western hemlock, western larch, Douglas-fir, grand fir, western white pine, lodgepole pine, etc).

The sun comes out, our spirits lift! There are views, lord are there views! Mountain peaks pricking the blue azure before crashing to our feet in sharp angular sheaves of rock and ice and above these peaks we see condors soaring, sky surfing wave after wave of tasty Andean thermals.

“I just love the swamp and I love custom cars. Hopefully one day I can open up a custom car shop in Louisiana. I'm working on a pickup truck, I had a Nissan Maxima import tuner, I also had a Cadillac Seville low-rider, and hopefully one of these days I'll get me something old.” (via Louisiana Custom Cars)

After a dusky riverside chat, Malcom suggested to Cole that he walk back to his truck parked just down the river a bit in order that he could give Cole a copy of a  book about the early days of the commune he happened to have in the back seat of his rig.  (via Black Bear Ranch)
