The hive of lost memories

In my dream…
I was a FBI special agent responded to the call of duty to save our beautiful city – Seattle and its space needle from the terrorist attack.  The attack plan was armed and it can happen in any moment.  I was picked up at the airport by 3 local agents and briefed about [...]

We changed our biking routine this weekend by taking it to Lake Tahoe.  We started out at the rim trail head on the 50 near 89 by Spooner Lake heading south via Kingberry.

This I believe the summit for Kingberry trail.

Beside beautiful landscaping, Lake Tahoe offers a varieties of trails and difficulties but be prepared to [...]

It’s a tough choice – giving up cycling or photography?  Weekend is shorter now with addition chores and obligations.  Biking has always been a part of my life since the age of 8.  Growing up in Viet Nam, that was ‘the’ way to get around.  Even on a date.    I remember in my 6th grade, [...]

If it wasn’t for the $230 (tax included) air fare and the fact that I had to take days off at work, I would probably have not been to Hawaii, Oahu in specific, because 50% of the people I’ve sought info about Hawaii have told me that Hawaii is not all that for both: diving [...]

Climbing Mt. Shasta is not as easy as one might think, especially when there is no snow. I went on this trip with a twofold mission: one is to find out why does my friend, Mark Tanaka (his write up and images), keeps coming back to Mt. Shasta every year. Indeed, this would [...]
