"I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in."

-John Muir

It's been several years since I was on flickr very regularly and my account back then was "RalphTheWonderLlama". I really enjoyed looking at everyone's photos and chatting with the awesome people I had for contacts. Life changes, things come and go, and life gets busy. I made this account to go along with my hiking and backpacking related website so you'll see those kinds of photos here. This is my recreational passion. I will be active on flickr again, probably not crazy active, but I'll be here telling the story of our backpacking trips, checking out photos of my contacts, and favoriting other awesome shots I find.
