Writers Block

Posts being few and far between is evidence of my recent writers block. Several attempts to post new content resulted in surrender as I read my rants and decided the subject was not going to serve much use. Recent current events are discouraging, and one more opinion on the subject is futile so I have decided to return to the roots of this blog and post some photos and personal experiences.

Over the weekend I worked in Puyallup, WA and since my Cousin whom, I had not seen in years was staying in Seattle, we hooked up for a visit. Pictured is Brad's first geocaching experience. We located one just across from the hotel I was staying. Thinking ahead, we would have had a umbrella and a flashlight, but after a short search we uncovered what we were hunting for. Now Brad can say he has been "Geocaching"

Howdy Cousin

My cousin Brad left me a comment and since he might be reading I thought to post another image from the past.
This again with my trusty old Mavica, did not deliver the quality I currently expect, but as you can see on the left, Brad is proud of his hike. We were on a trip to Tumble lake, just above Detroit Lake in Oregon. This trip requires a long winding drive up a single lane, gravel logging road that has shear cliffs along the sides, then once you get to the trailhead, you must hike about 3 miles down a switchback trail to a secluded lake. The trip in is a challenge, but the trip out is a killer! .

House Cleaning

I cleaned up a bit, rearranged, and changed the look of Ben's Viewpoint to take adavantage of some new features Blogger has to offer. Mainly Labels. I even took the time to go back through all 208 (Now 209) posts and get most of them into my 5 main categories:
* Entertainment (32)
* Family (11)
* Photography (75)
* Politics (43)
* Tech (23)
Keep in mind you can also search (see header) to see if I have posted a photo or topic on a keyword, such as Sheep or Brad, both that happen to have two results.

If you find a link no longer works, please let me know so I can fix or remove the post. The web changes, and I must unfortunately adapt.
