I didn’t have enough time to update my New York photos pool until now, so here are some highlights from the rest of the trip.

New York photo update
Posted by Shek on October 19th, 2009New York City
Posted by Shek on October 15th, 2009
Four days in New York City doesn’t seem like quite enough to see anything more than the highlights and that’s what I’ve been doing. This is a taste of what will make for fun and unique trips in the future.
Quick trip to Washington
Posted by Shek on October 13th, 2009
A quick weekend in Washington, DC was, as usually happens, a whirlwind of people and unexpected outings. It was a blast! As I write this, I’m riding to New York City on a Bolt-Bus using the on-board wifi. I love practical applications of technology.
Glacier National Park trip
Posted by Shek on August 18th, 2009
After a 5 day backpacking trip through the back country in Glacier National Park it dawned on me that I had never before said WOW so frequently in such a short period of time. Entering the park through Canada’s Waterton Park and then backpacking from Goat Haunt over the Stoney Indian Pass and through the Ptarmigan tunnel to Many Glacier was a spectacular way to see a precious gem in the Rocky Mountains. If you can prepare yourself to possibly confront a grizzly bear, then this trip is worth doing.
Mississippi River paddle #2
Posted by Shek on July 27th, 2009
Paddling 70 miles in three days on the Mississippi, from St. Cloud to Minneapolis, was a sublime way to see an increasingly more urbanized river.
Mississippi Paddle #1
Posted by Shek on July 13th, 2009
The 60 mile trip down the Mississippi River from Crow Wing State Park to Sartell, MN was incredible for the experiences of paddling 20 miles/day, portaging around dams, camping on the river, and seeing a diverse amount of wildlife.
As long as it rains in the next couple weeks, the Mississippi River levels should stay high enough to paddle. Hopefully this will be the first of three short trips on the Mississippi this summer.
Mini golf
Posted by Shek on June 2nd, 2009
While doing a 30 mile bike ride with friends, we stopped at Big Stone Mini Golf in Minnetrista. The mini golf holes are part of and surrounded by art installations created by the owner of the mini golf course. It was a blast and worth checking out.
Minneapolis in the winter
Posted by Shek on February 9th, 2009
Winter in Minneapolis is usually cold. Locals could hibernate, but life is too short and winter is too long to stay inside when it gets frigid. Lake Calhoun becomes a playground for those willing to brave the temperatures.
Inaugural Photo Dump
Posted by Shek on January 20th, 2009
Today I attended President Obama’s inaugural. My unorganized photos are a snapshot of an incredible day. Enjoy!
We Are One - inaugural kickoff concert
Posted by Shek on January 18th, 2009
The joke about Washingtonians is that nobody is from Washington. This weekend that seems to be especially true; everyone seems to be in town visiting for the weekend - which has lead to several fun parties. Today’s free We Are One concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial kicked off the inaugural festivities and people showed up - including both Obama and Biden. While it was breezy with temperatures was in the low thirties (the Potomac is frozen over), the crowd was excited, there was a festive atmosphere, and it was never overwhelming.
