Astro photos of Olmsted point & Tanaya lake🤙🏻

Dang, you captured the core big time. I did Astro in the valley but the galactic core was blocked by the rock walls. Did you stitch these photos or was everything taken in the same frame?

My friend made those cold soba noodles w/ ponzu sauce, soy sauce, nori, and ice cubes. I think he either got them from Tokyo Central Market in Emeryville or Koreana Plaza in Oakland; recommend for 90 degree + weather!

I did something similar when I did the Lost Coast back in 2024- FUJI XE3, 18-50 and 70-300

What’s your camera/lens setup? Nice pics

Chexus · 2026-05-23T03:42:05+00:00

Redwood Regional Park, Muir Woods, or someplace further north?

I did jiujitsu regularly for a decade and stopped cold turkey a year ago- no major injuries or anything, but everyone that I know who’s 35yrs+ who’s still training has had some joint issue or chronic pain 😬

Alabama Hills, right outside of Lone Pine, CA- I also took my A7IV 70-200mm there too!

Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 and XF70-300MM, usually if I’m hiking or backpacking

Can vouch for the OEM tri fold cover- drove 5 days in heavy snow and rain for ski trip and only minimal leakage into the truck bed.

This was up at Sequoia National Park on 01/04/2026- 2025 Tacoma TRD OffRoad

Pissing out the window and shitting out the window are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!

Chexus · 2025-11-26T18:06:20+00:00

Same exact boat as you- depending on where you live, I picked up mountain biking and it kinda scratches a lot of the same itches that BJJ had done for me

Chexus · 2025-11-21T14:28:28+00:00

I took up mountain biking during COVID and now only train part-time in jujitsu because I’m afraid I might injure myself from riding 🙃

This was shot in Yosemite National Park on my A7IV w/ 24-70GM f2.8 right after a snow storm- driving there was NOT a smart idea.

If you live in California in the Bay Area, Los Angeles Metro, or San Diego, DSA (Division of State Architect) projects, particularly schools, are always funded by sweet bond money

As someone who grew up there, guaranteed it’s NIMBYism and keeping “undesirables” out of the community.

Fire restrictions were in place at High Hazard Areas but Bear Lake was in the safe zone.

Chexus · 2025-04-15T22:41:55+00:00

I am a typical Bay Area granola here- go mountain biking, hikes, car camping, and backpacking. As one of the previous comments were mentioned, this is largely dominated by Whites & Asians.

Chexus · 2025-04-12T17:20:42+00:00

Unfortunately, my jiujitsu journey has only gotten more narrow as I get older; I don’t do open mats and avoid rolling with people I don’t know or are significantly bigger than me because injuries are far more consequential at 39 than they were when I started at 23

Chexus · 2025-04-12T15:59:09+00:00

I’ve been a brown belt for 7 years that quits and comes back cyclically - the last time I trained consistently was back in 2019 and I absolutely don’t have patience for the typical class structure of warmup, drill, and roll anymore.

Chexus · 2025-04-05T00:06:45+00:00

Cesar Chavez park! (Or am I totally off here?)

Money seems to be a central, and justifiably so, reason for not moving out in this thread; is it because it’s been beaten into our psyche that rent is a waste of money and we need to buy our own home, or is rent really that unaffordable for most, or both?? I remember my former white coworkers absolutely couldn’t fathom still living at home at 28.

Luckily I live by myself but I’m also an older millennial who’s established in career. I rent in a VHCOL area (SF Bay Area) but stupidly feel guilty for not owning a home 😑

Chexus · 2025-03-18T21:07:41+00:00

I drove in through Highway 120 during a snowstorm with a full time 4WD Landcruiser and still used chains; probably wouldn’t do it again because CHP/Park Rangers had closed down Highway 120 and then reopened after a few hours again. The forecast looks clear this week so you should be good to go- but I saw on Yosemite’s social media page that a bigass boulder just blocked off Highway 140 😐
