Our team really enjoyed going through your recent adventure in Zion National Park. Recently, we started working with avid hikers interested in writing about their trips on Sidewalk. You can read our recently published hiking trips at http://www.visitsidewalk.com. If you are interested in sharing your Zion National Park backpacking trip with our readers, we would be delighted to work with you.<br /><br />We feel that writing about your hiking trips is fun and enjoyable. But we know it takes time to write in a way that adds value to other hikers. We do support the effort of our writers by paying them to produce quality content. If this sounds interesting, please email us at team@visitsidewalk.com and we will be happy to continue the conversation further.<br /><br />Happy Hiking!<br />The friendly hikers at Sidewalk<br />http://www.visitsidewalk.com/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710991328962090980.post-75375136109419855922014-04-29T22:16:18.308-07:002014-04-29T22:16:18.308-07:00Very cool on the phone...I use a 5S and have come ...Very cool on the phone...I use a 5S and have come to the same conclusion that the phone is pretty darn good, particularly with all the photo apps. You've got to be using some sort of HDR app or setting yes? I'm a huge fan of "HDR Pro" app to get the rich colors in the shadows and the deep blue skies at the same time. By the way...I met you on the PCT at Odell Lake/Shelter Cove and called you by your real name rather than your trail name that I didn't even know at the time as I was following your blog. I wasn't hiking but just vacationing at the lake and had driven the boat over to Shelter Cove to see if any PCT hikers were around. It was fun to meet a blog author there. :-) Just read your post from the "cliff" day you just put up today....absolutely stunning photos and experience. Not for the faint of heart. Great trip and thanks for the post!<br /><br />-GoalTechMichael Irvinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17694834420062113736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710991328962090980.post-3601894039461691282014-04-28T23:57:57.042-07:002014-04-28T23:57:57.042-07:00Thanks!

I've only ever used my phone for my pictures. iphone 4S, I think about taking something fancier but figure the phone seems to get the job done no problem. <br />As far as the name goes, Opus named me. The name had been sort of tentative at first but became pretty official at the Andersons. The running joke was my name was Focus, or lack thereof. I can be very focused and serious in real life but on the trail I seem to have more than my fair share of scatterbrained moments. Not too exciting of a story but it made perfect sense at the time.

I never heard how you got your name when you were on the PCT.<br /><br />Cheers...and thanks for sharing. Beautiful country.<br /><br />-GoalTechMichael Irvinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17694834420062113736noreply@blogger.com
