Guadalupe National Park 12/1/22 Salt Flat, Texas. A day in Guadalupe National Park

 








Visitor center. It ain't real. 


Devil's Hall

During this hike, the first half is fairly easy as it is paved. However, halfway through, it is a rocky hike. Wear good shoes or if you hate rocks, skip this one. 


I would just like to add when you hit this wall section, be very careful in climbing or stepping over.


When you get over that wall, you will come across this small looking pool. It looks very deep actually when you get closer. After that, another 5 mins in or so, you are at the Devil's Hall. 












The Plants you will encounter along the way. 


Smith Spring loop Trail and Manzanita Springs. 


This section is very early on if you take the right section first. Once again, this hike is a rocky one. Not as bad as Devil's Hall but it is fairly rocky. 






Nice small spring. The water is really cold. I had the place to myself for at least 15 mins before I moved on. 






The Frijole Ranch museum was closed but it's in the very start of the trail. 


I didn't get to grab a pic of El Capitan (Texas) but here is the link: El Capitan


Your welcome to signs on the way to Carlsbad.

Overall, this park wasn't anything too spectacular. I did miss a certain hike because I was getting tired out. Maybe I will hike up the peak of El Capitan if I'm ever here again. What makes this park stand out to a degree is that it isn't too populated so if you like a smaller crowd, this place is for you. 

See you next in Carlsbad Caverns.

Sapporo, Japan Feb 2025 (Pic Heavy)

  Early February trip to Japan. Feb 2 (Hawaii time) Flight from HNL to New Chitose  Food from ANA airlines. Was not a direct flight. One layover. Then a one hr train ride to Sapporo from New Chitose Airport. Landed around 1030PM at night.  (Each day categories pics start from bottom to top, sorry didn't feel like fixing this).  Feb 3 ( Sapporo) (Will be Japan dates from this moment forward) The famous Nikka sign and pretty much a midnight snack before bed. According to google, the restaurant is called Asahi Ga Nobori Susukino and its right across the Nikka sign and has a animatronic ramen display. It's a good restaurant that features a staple of Sapporo: Miso. One of the few places that is open to a much later time. I think 3AM?  Feb 4  Nijo Market  Yup. Hawaii. Nijo Market. Brunch pretty much at Ohiso . Gets packed quick so find a spot to catch your grub quickly. Lots of similar restaurants around here like Ohiso but like I sai...

Hawaii Foodiecon 2025 and Yakiniku Like.

  Yakiniku Like Foodiecon was a enjoyable experience. Quite a bit of food vendors. It can be fairly expensive depending on the stuff you buy. Got to try Yakiniku Like over here in HNL. Brings me back to Sapporo which was actually only two months ago. Once again, good if you want a quick meal but if you hoping to be fulfilled, you may want to check into a Yakiniku buffet instead.

Osaka (Dotombori, Nara, Universal Studios Japan etc...) 100th post for this blog!

 Return to Osaka! It's been 4 years and it was nice to be back. My 100th post for this blog as well! Dotombori Back to Namba Oriental Hotel. Got a fairly decent room for 3. Also did a Pig cafe, The Pigs kept coming to me for sleep. They were probably tired all day. It was roughly 1830PM by then.  Nara   Even the Deers here wait for the bus. J/k. They always hungry so feed them the crackers you can purchase from the vendors on the streets. We didn't do temples this time. You can say we came here for a few hours to feed the deers and that was it.  Back to Dotombori    I've always wanted to visit the Capcom store. Sadly, the displays are the most impressive thing about the Osaka store. You get to play Street Fighter 6 on the big screen but everything in the store is pretty lackluster. The Capcom store and it's superhero neighbors are in the Parco store btw. Universal Studios Japan Pretty much came here for Super Nintendo World (ser...
