Mountain Biking

1

My pretty cobalt blue bike which I had to rent because my Gary Fisher which I haven’t rode in ~ 8 years was too fucked up to ride.

One section in which we had to walk our bikes across a perilous cliff!

47%

47% downhill grade in which Annie (whose first time it was biking) coasted down while laughing the entire time.  As for me, the entire time I’m like, “These goddamn rocks!! they’re so many fucking rocks and they keep moving!!”  and it took me forever to go down.

Window while walking through the town of Jim Thorpe.  This is a great little town to visit in the Pocono area of PA.  Super cute but not like a college town, tucked within folds of mountains.

Conclusion:  Mountain Biking is FUN!!!!!  Can’t wait to go again and overcome my fear of speed and not being in control and scary moving rock pebbles!!

New Mexico

Here are some photos from my trip to New Mexico.  It was actually a lot colder than I thought it would be!  Besides that, the landscape is beautiful and I felt like I was floating through large expanses of light, shadow and textures (duh, I think I mean surreal). We drove around a lot, which was nice, listened to music, visited the Gila Cliff Dwellings, walked through El Paso, hiked, tracked footprints, napped and played Scrabble.  I photographed with the Lomo plastic TLR camera and the small point and shoot digital.  The square pictures are plain scans of the film, so the images have been really downgraded and have lots of actual dust on them, but I kind of like the look.

First time at a shooting range!  It was actually kind of fun, but took getting used to

firing the gun without feeling like I was about to die.

I don’t think my aim wasn’t that bad.

Fahnestock State Park

Took a hike today through this state park, which was about an hour and a half away from NYC.  Finally some pleasant warm weather on the east coast came through so it was great to get out.  One of the best things about going on hikes/camping is how food seems to take on a new level of some kind of wonderful during and after the hike.  Soft boiled eggs.. pb and j… salt and vinegar chips… chinatown pastries… gatorade.. an orange… bengali food… yummmm…  Oh, and the scenery is definitely nice too.
