Cooking with Amanda

Putting up my Xmas tree

Here’s a panorama of the Painted Desert and a couple of time lapses from the Ghost Ranch in New Mexico.

The Painted Desert

Chimney Rock Hike

Kitchen Mesa Hike

Here’s a time lapse video of my Longs Peak hike. I started hiking around 3:50 AM, I made it to the top by 10:00 AM, taking just over six hours to make it to the top, but I took a butt-load of photos too! And I left the top around 10:30 AM and made it back down at 2:10 PM, I took less than four hours for the hike down.

I took my CamelBak Rim Runner, which I highly recommend! It holds 100 oz of water and the backpack is big enough for my dslr camera, a raincoat, snacks and a bunch of other stuff too. I had 16.6 lbs of stuff loaded in my backpack and there was room for more too.

Back in February, toilet paper was on sale, so I bought about 500 rolls. Here’s some toilet paper pyramids I built for fun!
