Peaceful Co-Existence -- Trinity Alps lake by Beyond the Trail [Gary]

"It's a different kind of world to grow up in when you're out
in the forest with the little chipmunks and great owls. All
these things around you as presences, representing forces
and powers and magical possibilities of life are not yours and
yet are all part of life, and that opens it ... to you."
--Joseph Campbell (The Power of the Myth)

I live in the mountains of far Northern California -- sparsely populated -- relatively remote -- Trinity County. Interests (past and present) include backpacking, scuba, wilderness photography -- especially wildlife photography ........ time-forgotten, remote places, old trails, rarely-visited meadows, off-trail wilderness ...... warm fires on cold evenings ..... and did I mention, wilderness backpacking .... the datum point.

Primarily I use Flickr as a back-up photo archive -- don't often post on groups -- but that being said -- appreciate people stopping by -- always delighted by comments -- and enjoy exploring the photostreams of others.

Several have asked -- named my photostream "Beyond the Trail" as a remembrance. From the early '90s up until 2007 -- had a website called "Beyond the Trail" .... possibly a few backbackers might remember it.

The original site is gone now but some of it --- 70 - 80 per cent -- was preserved thanks to the good folks over at the Way-Back Machine (Internet Archive) ..... so anyone having a few minutes to spare and wanting to take a dusty trip back in Time -- the archive address for the original Beyond the Trail -- is:

web.archive.org/web/20080214122254/http://www.garytrinity... ............. *


* Should add -- many of the links on the archived version of "Beyond the Trail" no longer work but many -- actually most -- of the yesteryear photos are still viewable.

Thanks for visiting. Happy Trails.
