Well it is official... As of today I have been back in the good old USA for a month… It is hard to believe that it has been a full month… The last 5 months of my life have been the best times yet and the fastest that time has ever gone by… The next grand adventure is already in the works…. South America…lets get it on…

Some new stuff

I have been messing around with my blog and have added several new features… A world map that you can put a pin in to show where you are at…A guest book for my guest… And a on going comment box that allows anyone to leave a comment… Plus a daily cartoon....They are located on the right side of my page… More things soon to come…So feel FREE to use them….

Lake Pukaki

Lake Pukaki with the Ben Ohau range in the back ground....

Lake Pukaki was formed when a glacier receded and ground out a valley..Which the glacier then melted and filled...The cloudy milky turquoise color of the lake is suspended glacial flour ..which is extremely small ground up quartz and feldspar which is formed from the Glacier grinding against the rock beneath it as it receds.....I did some learning while i was on my travels......Just some fun facts for you...

The ominous Mt. Cook.... It took 3 climbers lives while we where there...

Claiming Freedom and Happiness.....

Takin a shower....
