The Critic Afoot: Death Valley: Not so wicked hot
http://cecswin.blogspot.com/2009/11/death-valley-not-so-wicked-hot.html
Thursday, November 12, 2009. Death Valley: Not so wicked hot. So I just got back from a few days in Death Valley National Park; it was an awesome trip. It seems that every place I go introduces me to a few more places that I want to visit, it is a never ending cycle and this trip was no different.

The Critic Afoot: Headed Home
http://cecswin.blogspot.com/2009/05/headed-home.html
Friday, May 29, 2009. Well the time has come; I am packing up for the trip home. It has been an amazing trip- walking around Kathmandu, riding elephants in Chitwan. Touring the country on top of a public bus, climbing, trekking, seeing the Everest region, summiting. Island Peak, hanging out at base camp, meeting lots of interesting people, and living with Chandra, Lisa, Prushant. And which ever other children and pets were around. We had some frustrations with the Himalayan Rescue Association ( HRA.

The Critic Afoot: On to California
http://cecswin.blogspot.com/2009/10/on-to-california.html
Monday, October 5, 2009. This begins what I expect to become a series of blogs from a new adventure. I am spending the next 8 months on a SCA Desert Restoration Crew out of Ridgecrest California. As one person said, Ridgecrest is a great place from which to go places. A rock in the Rands. Something smells like burning. Next it is off to training with all of the other crews for the next two weeks. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Change Along the Banks. Link to my current blog.

The Critic Afoot: October 2009
http://cecswin.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 23, 2009. We wore closed toe shoes in the kitchen, long pants when washing dishes or making tea, boots when working, gloves when handling tools, hardhats when swinging tools, and full riot gear when working outreach. Ok, not quite, but there were a lot of rules. It is difficult to live in such a structured environment and with so many people after growing used to living alone. On another off day we went for a hike up above the canyon where we were camping, and that was pretty cool too.

The Critic Afoot: Yosemite
http://cecswin.blogspot.com/2009/11/yosemite.html
Sunday, November 8, 2009. While it has now been several weeks since the trip, I did not get to write about it because our internet crashed and then we headed back into the field for work. Anyway, one of the benefits of this job is that we get 4-6 days off at a time, and we are based in Ridgecrest, CA which is surrounded by many cool places. So on our first set of days off, a few of us headed up to Yosemite National Park. Yosemite Valley - - Fall leaves near Mirror Lake. Top of Yosemite Falls - -Sequoias.

The Critic Afoot: On the Road Again
http://cecswin.blogspot.com/2010/03/on-road-again.html
Saturday, March 20, 2010. On the Road Again. As my mother said, my section in her address book tells quite a story. I spent a couple months this winter living in Mississippi. For the most part I did a lot of hanging around. We lived in a little house right on a little lake so I got out kayaking every now and then when it warmed up. I also joined the fire department and spent a few weeks working at a restaurant. Our house in Mississippi. So we spent a couple days driving cross country. The views from the ...
