Today’s Spider
Today’s Spider – We don’t go seeking these things out. They just happen, or, as in this case, we stumble upon them along a trail. I do not know what species this spider is. It’s about the size of a man’s hand. It lives in that dark hole up above where it is perched, but…

The 1192
The 1192 – The 1192 climbs up the west side of Doi Inthanon, the highest mountain in Thailand. It’s a lesser known “snake road” in the mountains here, the roads that draw people from all over the world to experience them. We just stumbled upon it because we needed to change our route, as we…

If you want to walk to Burma
If you want to walk to Burma – Just head out over those mountains. The mountains are covered with what the locals call forest, but we call jungle. There are plenty of sheer cliffs and snaking river valleys. There are plenty of critters out there too. Probably lots that you have never seen before. Or…
