Looking at the forest through the trees across I-90 in Spokane Valley. What forest? That one's artificial.2010 trip was another one around parts of Washington and Idaho. Then another trip to Vancouver, BC after getting back to Bellingham. Total of around 1,200 miles in 4 1/2 weeks.
At first I thought I was slowing down, putting on less miles per day than previous trips, but looking at the mileage, it's still a lot of miles. Not the 4,200 miles I did in 9 weeks of 1991 when I crossed USA by bike. That was 19 years ago. Maybe I am slowing down.
I'm I slowing down due to old age, or the digital age?
Good question.
Maybe a bit from "old age," but back in 91, I wasn't stopping so often to update my status on Facebook. No one knew what wifi was. In 1991 it was either 24, or 32 frames to a roll of film. Stopping to take pictures meant deciding if it was really worth one of the last 5 frames on a roll before getting to the next store and shelling out money for more film. Yes, those were the days.
Now I'm stopping every few feet to take a picture. Not really, but sometimes it seems like that.
In this 4 1/2 weeks, I took nearly 1,000 digital images.
Photos.
