Amazing Pictures

[Hungary Jack]

This is what it says about it:

The soft lights of our Milky Way galaxy flow across the sky over Mount Kinabalu, a mountain peak on the Malaysian side of the island of Borneo, in a picture taken February 27 and released this week.

The mountain reaches 13,435 feet (4,095 meters) above sea level, offering relatively clear views of the night sky from high above the clouds.

OK. I think that's it, though my facts are a bit off. I distinctly remember that spire view from the summit, which is almost entirely solid igneous rock. I thought it was 15k, but close enough.

That looks like a good place for a date and some casual sex, Dr. Pepper included.

It is going to be pretty bad in CO this year. Not a good year for snow and a warm spring has exhausted what little snowpack there was. The monsoons typically don't arrive until July. Throw in all the dead pines from the beetle infestation and you have a recipe for WACO^50.

Guess who is going for 4 days in the Wimenuche wilderness on Friday?

I'm guessing campfires are not an option.
