Mt. Shasta pictures

Below are some photos I took during last weeks ascent of Mount Shasta.

Google Earth is such a nice toy, especially combined with a GPS unit. :-)

More Pictures coming up!

I finally replaced my point-and-shoot-camera, which died last fall while climbing in Yosemite.
(Huh, that was the 2nd camera in two years, who shared that fate! I wonder if it's me?)
When I opened my mailbox yesterday I found the Canon Powershot 770IS! I'm looking forward to using it, especially since it features an integrated image stabilizer and 4M pixel more than my previous camera (a Powershot 660).

R.I.P.

Unfortunately I have to report the untimely passing of my beloved camera...


Got to start looking for a new one. I guess the economy can use every dollar spent!

Update: The run...

...was not bad.
My legs were a little tired, and I had a pretty high heart rate (high: 181 , avg: 169), but it was fun to be running again. It was a 4.6 mile run with an average pace of 8:25 min/mile. (All this data is monitored by a Garmin Forerunner 305. A frickin' cool toy!)

Lesley brought an 25km trail run up earlier today... Might be interesting!
