Northwest US: Mount St Helens and Paradise WA, by car and hiking. Annual snowfall of 30 ft is not unusual (and Iwas there to view a NPS building I had consulted on), and it sticks around -- this was July in Paradise. The destruction of Mt St Helens is still visible, two decades later.

As part of a research exchange group supported by NRCan (thanks!) I spent several weeks in Japan over two trips, moving from south to North. We worked must of the time, but managed a weekend in Kyoto, and short visits elsewhere. Our Japanese hosts helped make this unforgetable. |

As part of a United Nations project, I travel to Mongolia. Outer Mongolia is about as out there as it gets, but was a country that is more accessible to travel than many. Photos to come! |

Chris Luzine and I jointed up to travel the Trans-Siberian / Trans-Monglian Express from St Petersburg to Beijing. About 7000 km on Russian trains with some interesting stops along the way. | |
