Day 3 of 2020 Idaho Trip, Chocolate Gulch

July 18, 2020

Third day of my Idaho trip. After a heroic hike to summit Hyndman Peak the previous day, I spent most of the day resting in bed. To make sure that's not how I "wasted" an entire day of my vacation, I took a short hike of Chocolate Gulch at the end of the day.

Day 2 of 2020 Idaho Trip, Hyndman Peak

July 17, 2020

Second day of my Idaho trip. I planned to summit Hyndman Peak. At an elevation of 3660m, it's the tallest of Pioneer Mountains. Rated as class 2, it’s one of the easiest 12'ers of the state. Unfortunately, my badly-picked outfit added quite some difficulty and misery to my trip.

Drifting Dragons, Imagination that Blends Aspiration with Illusion

July 1, 2020

Alluringly artistic, spiritedly upbeat, Drifting Dragons explored the best of humanities through the fictional occupation of dragon hunting from an airship. Yet being removed from reality meant the depiction was both aspirational and illusional, if one traced back to the no-so-glorious jobs the series drew its inspiration from.

Day 15 of 2019 Western US Tour, July 26, Highline and Garden Wall Trail

March 28, 2020

Our sixth and last day in Glacier National Park.
My plan of the day was to hike Highline and Garden Wall Trail, probably the second most popular day hike route in Glacier National Park, behind Grinnell Glacier Trail. And there would be spectacular views of Grinnell Glacier at the top of Garden Wall, encore to what I explored four days ago.
