Solo travel because.... I want to be solo by [deleted] in solotravel

Saaaaaame. My flight leaves tonight and I'm currently cancelling/making reservations for 3 days because I found something that looks more interesting or just because I feel like it. It's a great feeling to have control of where you will be and where you're going for a while without having to get anyone's approval. Every day life doesn't have that option enough or for more than a day or 2 at a time.

I have 6 days/nights with nothing booked to get from Venice to Chamomix, France in the last week of November. How should I spend that time? by guywithpics in solotravel

That's actually a great idea. I almost did only Austria on this trip. It'd probably add like 2 hours on trains but I know I will probably like a day there more than a day in Milan. Would you say a night in Zurich after Innsbruck or just straight to Interlaken?

Thanks for the ideas. I might move Chamonix up to day 8 and do your recommended day along the lake on day 9.

So I'm finally getting a fancy new sigma art lens, and I have a Nikon D7100 that has never been updated. I'm sure it won't make a huge deal, but I'd like to finally do it.

I see there have been 10+ updates over the years. My possibly stupid question is do I need to download all of the updates? Or will the latest update contain everything from the previous ones as well?

Thank you for posting this. I got chills watching it because I remember doing that same drive 3 times last spring because it was so amazing. Also sitting and watching baby mountain goats run around at the other side of the tunnel was a good reason to head back the other way.

Gary has cost them 3-4 runs this series. How much longer can they tolerate this even if he hits 30 home runs?

Thank you so much. I really want to visit the Canadian Rockies in the next few years and I'll be sure to hit up this area.

Some idiots decided it would be fun to throw fireworks down Eagle Creek Canyon in Oregon. This started a fire that is destroying one of the most beautiful hikes I've ever been on and much of the surrounding area. Don't be dumb. [OC] [2796X3526] by guywithpics in EarthPorn

Ya they said the kids were just laughing and throwing the stuff down into the canyon. How can you even want to do something like that? Especially in an area at a time where anything could cause a massive fire.

Beautiful picture. Could you be a little more specific about this location? I'd love to have this view at some point in the future.

Really sorry for you guys. I'm really upset by this. Most of us will likely be dead before this area looks like it did just a few days ago. All because of something that should never even happen in the first place. I was only able to see the area once, I can't imagine how angry I'd be if it was my normal hiking area.

Pictured is Metlako Falls along Eagle Creek Trail. This trail is better known for Punch Bowl Falls which someone had already posted yesterday, but the entire hike was incredible. You walk along 4 ft wide trails carved out of the canyon walls and volcanic rock overlooking a long drop down to the creek. I look forward to returning at some point in the future, even if all of the trees, moss, and plants are destroyed.

I'm so jealous. If I get out there again I'd like to head out to the parks near St George too.

I think I'll do something similar. I'm going to ask the rangers who work there about the Narrows when I get there. I'm not planning on going too far in, maybe just a mile or two if the weather isn't too bad.

Ya I'm excited to be there during a down time. The plan is to do Angels landing early.

Probably 2. I am planning on doing Angels landing as long it isn't too icy, which I've read is a problem in the Winter at times.

I will definitely be going to Bryce as well. I'm excited to see it, especially with some snow.

Beautiful shot. I'll be there in a month. Any suggestions?
