Where San Francisco's water supply comes from (it's delicious!)

Hetch-Hetchy reservoir in the northwestern part of Yosemite National Park. It's gorgeous and has far fewer people than the mainstream Yosemite areas.

It's time to reintroduce my environmental adventure, "The Environmeddlers."

I published this in 2010, to bring the story of environmental activism up to date, into the world of cell phones, computer algorithms and other assorted modern control systems.

It was fun to write, and I think, still fun to read.

I wasn't expecting this to be a climbing video when I started watching it, I thought it was going to be about . I was not unhappy that it ended up being about climbing.

Watching it, I saw views of I'd never seen. It makes me really want to back country hike in there to capture some photos. In Yosemite Valley, all of the grand photos have been captured. Hetch Hetchy is a place where there are still new grand photos to be discovered.
