This Is Jack

Jack Poses For My New SX/70

This is my 15lb cat named Jack. Jack has lived all over the United States and sometimes he puts on airs about being a world traveler. Mostly he just drives around in his Tahoe getting into trouble. His nickname is Poopies. He loves to meow, meow and meow. My favorite Jack quirk is that he will lead you to what he wants. If the litter box smells, he’ll walk you to it The best quirk so far is that Jack likes to hangout outside and will meow at the door until you let him out and come out with him. If you don’t go out with him he will meow from the outside until you come join him.

Taken on fade to black with my new and slightly better ebay SX/70.

Hiking To Devil’s Den

Hiking In Vermont with My Super Wide Heliar

I’d heard good things about the hike to Devil’s Den in Bradford, VT. The area has a fabulously scandalous history of bootlegging, counterfeiting and all sorts of good stuff. It is now part of a piece of land conserved by The Upper Valley Land Trust. I’d thought I’d go for a hike with my Bessa, Super Wide and some cheap italian film.

I drove to the back of Bradford to began my journey. The Upper Valley Land Trust has made maps of the area but I found them completely useless. To be honest, they made me totally lost.

This is the first lookout on Wright’s Mountain. I think it is hilarious that the bench is chained to a tree. Only someone participating in a culture of theft would believe that a bench on the side of a mountain needed to be secured.

Continuing onward I stumbled upon a dead animal. Fun! Can you see it!

I took a wrong turn and ended up at this shelter with a stunning view of the Vermont country side.

Here another look out. Theis bench was also chained from the tree to prevent some sort act of theft.

I did actually make it to Devil’s Den and it was ok.
