Rock scrambling ... where do you think you are going?

Yeah, Arches ... so many lovely hikes there to do, and if you time it right and select some of the "lesser gods" hikes there, solitude and quiet contemplation is to be found :-) #Utah

The #DragonBravo fire hurt my hiking heart, and its aftermath will be with us as a witness to nature's force. One day, I will hike at the #GrandCanyonNorthRim again! #Hiking. We've been measuring a tree for years. It stood at the outskirts of the fire. Has it survived?

Part of the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument ... it is magnificent to travel through and to observe from a distance ... to have a great view from afar on a clear day: head to the Le Fevre Overlook between Fredonia and Jacobs Lake and bear witness to its grandeur! #Utah

Little Wild Horse/Bell Loop Canyon = great hikes! A bit of a tight squeeze and a scramble at certain narrow spots, but nothing you cannot handle! It can get hot, so bring plenty of water and a snack. As always ... I carried my "dayhike turns bad kit" to be safe. #Utah #Hiking

1 week ago, I had the honor of presenting at #ExpertsLiveNL on #SMB over #QUIC. I enjoyed discussing the various use cases people had for their production implementations. I will present at #ExpertsLive Austria next week on this subject & #IaKerb #LocalKDC #MVPBuzz #Community.
