Thread: Some random scribblings

I didn't remember I did this until yesterday when it struck me.. so I stitched a dozen or so images together in Photoshop,
and here is a 360° panorama of upper Titcomb Basin in Wyomings Wind River Range. I did all I could with brightness,
contrast, and exposure to match the frames, but with all the different directions, getting it perfect wasn't possible.
The left and and right edges represent where the scene repeats.

This gives a sense of how freaking cool this place really is.

OK, first of all, the pair of peaks I mis-identified as Bobs Towers is definitely The Twin Peaks (13,185'). But, I'm still going back there, even if I don't have that mystery to solve any longer.

Every now and then, you get a "you are here" glimpse that gives you an insight into how tiny you are. The blue dot is my tent.

Naw.. just North Carolina.

And now for Virginia.. Here's something very close to where Xox lives.. maybe a dozen miles away. The wind is calm, the temperature is about 20 degrees, and I'm headed uphill. If you've been paying attention, you'll know I'm dressed appropriately. When I hit the open grass-land at the top around 5,000', and the wind hit, it was a different story. We got driven to the shelter for a 2 day white out.

Interestingly enough, we ran into a guy there named Brad who said he'd come up here to "get away from it all and the smoking and drinking". I just had to shake my head and tell him, "Buddy, you've come to the wrong f*cking shelter". We had a carton of Basic Lights and enough liquor between us to do some serious self-inflicted damage.
