    Thanks Ira, I think that's it. There was a label, but I forget. So many other names to remember. Now for the rest of the pics

    Zoos seem to be a lot less awe-inspiring now that I'm older. I notice the huge electrical wires and it feels wrong that these animals are held there their whole lives. It was a little depressing in certain areas.

    I like this pic best. He's giving the peek-a-boo with that long ass neck to see who's out there.

    Some lady who works at the SF zoo got part of her arm ripped off earlier this year. Got a little too close feeding the lions.

    I gotta find a chick that will go along with my "Giraffe, circus midget, Batman costume" routine.

    I did see that. Loved it too. I love anytime nature kicks the living shit out of us humans. Don't want to get your arm bit off? Don't go sticking it in a crocodile's mouth.

    i think the guy who had his arm bitten off was a vet and had been trying to tranquilize this croc, he thought the thing was asleep so when he went to get his dart....he came back missing a member

    Probably. It's only a few miles off a road. Nothing very strenuous. Not much elevation gain (as in you won't notice it). Might seem a bit harder as we start at 6,000ft, so it feels a bit harder than the same thing at sea level. You guys should be fine so long as you're able to walk and have good shoes (ankle support on boulders and rocks).

    Some pics from today:



    Cleaning a rockface with my little red truck way down there.


    Balls shot.


    This large piece of rock (12ft tall on one side) seperated from the mountainside. There was a bolt on it (for climbing), but it was either cut by some douchebag, or sheared off by the force of the fall.


    Said bolt.


    Stuff to be cleaned off.


    Cut bolts, cut off by some morons with spraypaint who painted a swastika on the rockface.


    Some kids with one Subaru WRX STI, one normal WRX, and a "Speedwurk" Ford Escort. I love how everything has to have a gay fake German name.



    Rattlesnake (I don't know sh*t about snakes, so I don't know what kind of rattler. The poisonous kind that I don't want to piss off.)




    Mt Hawkins massif with different angles and whatnot before sunset.



    Twin Peaks at various levels of zoom, after sunset. Looked a lot nicer in reality. I need your $80 bajillion dollar camera, Roman.
