It’s been a while. Work has been active and consuming. I’ve not posted on the IG in a while but have been “consuming IG”. I have learned that a lot of what’s on the internet is pure distraction and confusion to me. Bombarded with interruptive pop ups, robot verifications, and frequent mis/dis-information campaigns that require more than a reasonable amount of effort to discern from. It was time to turn it off. Unplug. Give mine eyes a break. A trip was planned and “Airplane Mode” was turned on, “Do Not Disturb” “Focus” activated.

E and I planned an excursion to the mountains for much needed decompression and inspiration.

Seeing Half Dome for the first time was, even at this distance from Olmstead Point, was pretty fantastic. Just being in Yosemite as a driving pass through route to Ansel Adams Wilderness was inspiring.

Enjoy our backpacking trip below.

… but for the mosquitos, even at 9000ft elevation, it was an entirely awesome trip.
