Backpacking Adventures

Central American Epic Part V

Isla de Tortuga is a beautiful spot to snorkel, lizard lounge on white sand beaches and socialize with foreigners from all parts of the world.  It’s also a place my brother Damian will never forget.  We headed to the Isle to snorkel and swim with 8 people with different accents and ethnic backgrounds including Asians, Colombians, French and an old enemy, Montezuma.

Adventure Contributor Alex Stoy wraps up his Central American Epic with an ending that is beyond fitting. Thanks Alex for including us in your adventures.

Central American Epic Part III

My brother and I chose Montezuma on a whim, or at least we chose Montezuma by chance.  Maybe Montezuma chose us.  We also chose to meet there in our travels between certain dates and if that didn’t work out, we’d see each other back in the States, at some point when our vagabond lifestyles would cross.

Central American Epic Part II

I’m not feeling well.  Something I ate is giving me Montezuma’s Revenge and I have yet to leave Park City, Utah.    This will make for a long and interesting journey to a place I don’t know anything about.  I have to leave as this is my ‘vacation time off’ from work and only have 2 weeks, not nearly long enough.

Where the Hell is Hanksville?

A friend once asked me if I had ever been to the desert, I responded, “Why would I ever want to go the desert?”

“One day, you will understand,” she quietly said as she turned and walked away.
