I have been there twice 2009 and most recently Nov ‘24. It’s an amazing landscape that has a strong pull for nature lovers

Here's how much it now costs to climb Mount Everest Nepal has hiked the cost of an Everest permit, arguing it will help tackle pollution and boost safety on the world's highest mountain.

Feb 2 - the nightmare knows no bounds. I teach Regional Geography of Canada - I am familiar with its vastness, beauty, wildness, and resources in its land and its people. Canada is rich in precious minerals, ag products, oil, technology and health innovations. Canada can survive on its own. Can USA?

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

Last Day of the First Month of 2025 - so how was the New Year thus far? Not encouraging at all, or rather, very disappointing. As a society, we have become reactive than proactive, regressive than progressive, lethargic than energetic, complacent than decent, numb and dumb than alert and vigilant.

Jan 30 - The country where cruelty knows no limits today prides itself as the land of the free and home of the brave - time to ask freedom for whom and bravery for what? America must not be the house of smoke and mirage - it’s amazing what’s happening in America today can only happen in Afghanistan

I was there Nov 27 - Thanksgiving Day - My way of Thanksgiving to Nature

Jan 29, ‘25 - terrible news from the south of Canada - citizenship, deportation, Medicaid, fed employees. The list will grow longer as January ends. We all knew this would be coming, but are shocked when the nail hits the head. I am waiting for Feb 1 - 25% tariff on imports from Canada. Interesting

When scientists said the Universe is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons, they forgot to mention morons.

Jan 24 ‘25 - some Republicans want a constitutional amendment to allow for DJT to have a third term. I say they should take one more step and declare him President for Life. When dictators and monarchs elsewhere have fallen by the wayside it’s amazing to see the reverse in America. God save the USA!

Day 23 - Year 2025 is not new anymore. What’s old is new again and what’s new is old. It was old - the bashing of immigrants - most Americans should look themselves in the mirror - can they imagine America without the immigrants? New - the skeptical Environmentalists rise again - that’s old news!

You are more than welcome to read my more than 15 research papers on tourism impacts in the Mt Everest region - the latest one was published just a month ago. Https://doi.org/10.1080/14616688.2024.2412542

This should have been done years ago, before the crowds started gathering at the top

I’m certain that republicans hate Americans. 💯

I have been at Lee’s Ferry - may be 2009- I must have missed this location though.

Awesome!

In nature one finds solace in turbulent times. Leave all the cares behind and you will find happiness there, the joy of simplicity, and the power within yourself from and being one with nature.

Beautiful

So we saw what happened yesterday - insurrectionists are pardoned, and a man gives a Hitler salute. That is a prelude what is to come. Brace yourself, the ride is going to be much rougher. I continue to be amazed in disbelief that this happened in America to America, its people spoke loud and clear.
