The forecast has come down a little: swells at 16′ early, then down to 15′ at high tide, but that is somewhat higher than I have ever seen, and with the wind as high as it is, the waves should be great! Just praying for amazing and unique waves. The hard part will be deciding […]
Watching the waves here is fascinating, and easily becomes an addiction. I have met locals that come out here every time a winter storm brings the big waves in, and they tell me that they never get tired of it. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it, or get enough photos, but it’s […]
I had camped last night in the (closed) Bonneville Campground, on Hwy 21 approx 40 miles west of Stanley, Idaho. Got up at 6:00 – the back hatch was difficult to open: it was iced shut! The rain had stopped and was just then beginning to snow – more like small snow pellets at first, […]
Last night I got the idea of driving back to the farm that I got the shot of on the Winter trip this past February. (current photo above) I looked up the GPS coordinates and entered them into GAIA gps, and that location is 35 miles south of where I am now, and right on […]
(the Falls on Avalanche Creek) Stayed overnight in Missoula, MT. Up at 5:00. Very good breakfast in the hotel. Got gas, then on the road @ 7:45; 36°. There was a nice glow on some of the clouds – made me wish I was out somewhere that I could take advantage of it. The rain […]
I was confused about the town of Jackson, WY (a few miles south of the Grand Teton NP entrance), and “Jackson Hole,” which I thought was a different town. I was using the TripAdvisor app to find a place for lunch, and drove thru Jackson thinking I would go to one of the restaurants listed […]
There was little color as I pulled out of Durango, Colorado, northbound on 550. Many of the aspen were bare, so I figured the leaves had dropped. But there were many (maybe most) that were still green. When I got a closer look at one of the bare aspen, it looked like the leaves were […]
(A 2012 shot at Lizard Lake) I’ve been on the road several days now, and finally getting into some good action. Last night was my first time to camp and sleep in the Summit: the wedge pop-up that I bought for this and future expeditions. Not great photos of it, (I expect to shoot better […]
This will be the final entry for this trip. I have been too immersed with my daytime job to edit my personal journal for inclusion in this blog, but hope to get it done soon: stay tuned!
I first became interested in shooting the waves at Cape Disappointment after stumbling onto the work of this young lady: https://www.wildnwbeauty.com/p798166022 And plan to continue going back until I see and capture some waves of that size and beauty. The wave forecast for Cape Disappointment had been up and down for several days. I’m in […]
