A bit of explanation about my profile photo: I'm riding a Bactrian camel in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. I was running a geophysical survey for a Korean mining company in the mountains and we needed to do a supply run to the nearest town. We stopped in the desert for a pee break and an old man who was herding goats nearby rode over on this camel. In Asia, there seems to be a game I'll call Make The White Guy Ride The Camel. If there's a camel and a white guy, he's going to ride that animal.

This was such a fun hike. My objective was to do a Summits On The Air "activation" - setting up a portable HF radio station and contacting at least four other hams. It was also a great outing with Natalie, who had undergone brain surgery a few months before. The views from Delano Peak are spectacular.
