My Everest

Tuesday October 22

Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. Cable car for 140 yuan return to tower 14 and a walk along for 3-4 guard posts. Definitely impressive!

One of the more interesting routes

Friday October 18 into Saturday October 19. I got lucky with a somewhat adjustable Comfort Select seat. But still a 12 hour slog.

Speak, memory.

Wednesday fall ride

Doing the Cascade Loop

My last full weekend of sunshine in October before I fly to Shanghai so I'm doing the classic leaf peep. The parked car pandemonium and overcrowding at the THs for Maple and Cutthtroat Passes is intolerable. I like larches but not in the company of the 2,000 of my fellow day hikers.

Friday in October time for curried pumpkin soup
