* Em yêu . . .
Em yêu vẻ đẹp trong mắt anh
Em yêu cách anh làm em cười
Em yêu anh lúc anh quan tâm - lo lắng cho em
Em yêu cả cách nói đáng yêu và hài hước của anh
Em yêu giọng nói nhẹ nhàng ấm áp mỗi khi anh thì thầm vào tai em
Em yêu một sự thật rằng em cũng sẽ không bao giờ quên được anh : )

Some people want to know where I live. Well, it is in Klickitat county. Most people think Washington state is always wet and green, well, that is not all the case. The Cascade mountains block the moisture from most of the east side. Also, oddly enough NY city even gets more rain than Seattle.

In April 2013 we hauled our canoe and tent over to Merchants Millpond State Park and enjoyed some very fine camping and paddling.
One day we paddled east through the millpond, through Lassiter swamp and up Bennett's Creek for about two miles before turning around. The high water this year made the paddle up Bennett's Creek a record setter, beating by far (almost a mile I reckon) our previous attempts. Highlights were lunching on an old, now flatten, beaver lodge and spotting a yellow-crowned night heron.
The next day we put in for the first time at the Gatesville dock/ramp and paddled up the Bennett's Creek Paddle Trail to the Merchants Millpond dam and back. Another great paddle with many beaver lodges, jumping fish, and another great lunch at the turn-around. This paddle trail also has a couple of platforms for canoe-camping.
In the map above, the first paddle is the *green* line; the second the *red* line. Our campsite is circled in *yellow* and the *orange* X marks our favorite lunch spot.
Talon asked me to take a picture of the thing that reminds me of my best friend. Well, a map reminds me of my best friend.

Travel-time Maps from mySociety
"These are much more complicated questions than those about individual journeys, but one thing they all have in common is transport: can I get to and from the places I'm considering quickly and easily?"
The maps on this page show one way of answering that question. Using colours and contour lines they show how long it takes to travel between one particular place and every other place in the area, using public transport. They also show the areas from which no such journey is possible, because the services are not good enough."

I built this for the Jolly Roger Contest on Forbidden Cove (forbiddencove.com/parlay/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1472). One of the categories is to build a treasure map, I decided to copy one of LEGO's printed maps. I went for somewhat of a mosaic style, and everything is pretty basic. Still a fun little build.

This map originally came from vbgood maps, and I adapted it to include the Tarim Highway, and the English placenames.
See another Xinjiang map, in Chinese with more English, with distances in kilometers, at Xinjiang Map, with Roads, Chinese, some English, distances in kilometers, 1535x1273, China
For extensive information about visiting towns along southern Xinjiang -- including transportation, lodging, dining and sightseeing -- see Central Asia Traveler.
The covered towns at this site include Hotan, Keriya / Yutian, Niya / Minfeng, Cherchen / Qiemo, and Charklik / Ruoqiang.
See a map of neighboring Qinghai Province to the southeast of Xinjiang.
A large format (2196 x 1547) map of Xinjiang in English is available at Xinjiang Map at Maps of China. Keep in mind three caveats about this English map.
-- First, to download the map, which is actually in six file segments, one must right-click on each of the segments and then use a graphics program to paste them together.
-- Second, the map erroneously shows the Tarim Highway reaching Highway 315 at Andirlingar, rather than near Niya / Minfeng, an error of 110 km to the east, and does not show the spur road going southeast from Tazhong along the Tarim Highway to near Cherchen / Qiemo.
-- Third, the map does not show distances.
It is otherwise a good map.
Shown in black across the center of the vast Taklamakan Desert is the Tarim Highway, completed in 1996, mainly to access the vast Tazhong oil reserves in the center of the vast Taklamakan Desert but also to open southern Xinjiang to economic development. The Tarim Highway is 562 km from Highway 314 at Bugur / Luntai in the north to Highway 315 near Niya / MInfeng in the south.
Starting 1 October 2007, a new cross-desert highway opened ~480 km from Hotan to Aksu, shortening the distance 43% between Hotan and Aksu from the 767 km via the Yarkand / Shache and Maralbishi / Bachu route. The overall route from Hotan to Korla and Urumqi will be only about 30 km shorter along the new highway compared with the Tarim Highway.
Yellowstone prepared an Environmental Assessment to evaluate potential impacts and determine if the park should authorize a right-of-way (ROW) permit from Diamond Communications, LLC. to install a fiber optic cable along 187 miles of park roads. This map is of the proposed fiber optic network service locations in the park.

Boat Log Sept 10th 2011 – Southern Small Detached Reef
Diving the detached reefs was on my “ Diving To do” list I suppose because it was close the barrier of the reefs yet offered sheer wall diving with the possibility better than normal visibility , plus I was hoping to reacquaint myself with the silver tip sharks which I have previously only seen around the coral sea atolls.
We parked for the night before behind Log Reef and early in the morn we ventured out to the coral sea thru the Providential channel . Incidentally this is the channel Captain Cook used to re-enter the protected waters behind the barrier after being belted around by the severe Pacific ocean swell over 200 years ago, so I felt a bit of history as we headed into the 1 1/2 meter swell .
Next question was how the hell do we anchor??? It’s a smallish triangular reef with a protected nth westerly side , but even it had sheer walls that dropped straight down 80 meters. Fortunately there was a small sand patch on top in one spot as shown in the pic (A)
on the edge of the reef and which was just deep enough for me to nose into and secure the anchor…just holding precariously as shown in pic (B).
The light 15knots of wind was enough to keep our boat away from the reef (pic C)and we jumped in for an amazing dive just before low tide .
Drifting along at 25-30me we were delighted with a procession of glorious 2-3 me Silver Tip Sharks and a couple of greys. Vis was about 20-25me, maybe not what we had hoped for but still good for silhouettes looking up. Our safety stop was 30 minutes of fun with all the nemos and interesting stuff on the reef top and when we climbed back on the boat we both felt exhilarated by our first real wall dive for a long time. So much so that I made the decision to stay the night dangling from the wall with the anchor alarm on in the hopes we could get a high tide slack water dive in the morning before the trade winds picked back up……Big mistake Rob…by 9pm the wind had calmed and the weight of 95meters of sagging chain dragged us to the reefs edge and the current started pushing us over the reef. All I needed was it to jam the chain in a wall crevis and i was really in the poo.
I really dislike moving the boat thru reefy channels in the night but thanks to my saved track and Raymarine GPS were able to beat a hasty retreat without incidence to Log reef….it really makes me wonder how captain cook did all this with no charts and worst of all …no GPS!!!!

We have now gone down through the Mutter family that came from Germany in the late 1800's: Konstantin and Wilhelmine (Kern) Mutter and their children: Wilhelm, Berta, Lina (my grandmother), Robert, Arthur, Wilhelmine, Heinrich and Emma. There was a Josephine in between Lena and Robert, but she may have died young as I know nothing about her. Some of the children later used anglicized forms of their German names.
The family had lived in Brombach, a village in the Baden-Wurttemberg section of Germany, just northeast of Basel, Switzerland. (see arrow on map)
