Marty’s photo of the day #4659: This is a scene from my all-time favorite campsite, located in the Yukon Territory of the still free, not fucking insane, country of Canada. After dark, wolves came down from the mountain to howl around our tent.

Marty’s photo of the day #4215: Somehow, through the years, the file containing all the Sony Mavica photos from Deb’s and my 2002 adventure to the top of Canada disappeared from my computers.
