Pics of Summer 2006's adventure

It was a cloudy day when I set off for the trip.

I took this in the subway of new york city.



















Cira Centre, Philadelphia, PA






































The bus started to show trouble on the way
from Philadelphia, PA to King of Prussia, PA.
At the end, we had to change to the new bus.
But we waited for more than four hours for the
new bus to arrive.

Greyhound bus station, King of Prussia, PA



















This is the one that was getting tired of running.














"Oh, man. What a trip!"



















Got a Ukrainian candy from Olha.
Columbus, OH














St. Louis, MO



















Got two Ukrainian candies from Olha.
This one was taken by Olha.
What a wonderful time we had together!



















The bus was late for more than an hour.



















The ceiling of Greyhound bus station
at St. Louis, MO



















Another bus broken down somewhere
near Colby, KS. We waited for an hour
for the new bus to come to get us.
Gave a candy bar to Olha. When she
got on the new bus, the way she said "Optimistic"
was really like W's.


































































The bus was running in Wyoming.
For a long time, there wasn't any town or city in
the sight. All we saw was endless road and many
sights with "Caution: Strong Wind!"
How lonely I am!
As I remebered, Brokeback Mountain's story happened
in here. But I didn't see any green mountain.
Maybe they are in somewhere of Wyoming.
I told Olha I might just go with her to the place
where she was going to work when she told me
about Frisco and Keystone Resorts.











































Seeing sunrise at Nevada. It is my birthday.















































Just woke up and looked a little sleepy.











































After almost three days travel, I came to San Francisco
at last. There was a parade at the market street at that day.



































The room I stayed at Hostelling International's Hostel
at San Francisco's downtown branch.
There is a computer room and study room at the second
floor. A kitchen is located in the third floor and the TV room
is located in the fourth floor.

Once I checked in the hostel at San Franciso,
I started to do some research about Frisco
and Keystone Resorts which Olha told me about.
When I found out there is a hostel, Fireside Inn,
at Breckenridge, CO,
I made a reservation right away by phone.
I planned to leave San Franciso at June 30 and would
stay at Breckenridge from July 1 to July 7.
I also cancelled the reservation with another hostel
at San Francisco. I was dreaming I could find Olha
at Keystone Resorts or somewhere around that place.














Geary St. and Powell St., San Francisco



















In the cable car



















































































































Alcatraz, San Francisco

































In the bike rental store, San Francisco




























Met a couple who is from Kentucky when I was biking
at the bay area. They took my pics for me.
They told me it was third day they went to see
the Golden Gate Bridge because the two previous days
were foggy and they didn't have the clear view of
the bridge. They asked me if I wanted to ride with them and
I said OK.















































On the Golden Gate Bridge now. The one
on the right is the husband and the wife was taking
the pic.














The husband was trying to get a better view to
take the pic/s for the wife.














The fog was very thick. Too bad, we had another
foggy day.

























































Sausalito, CA














This is Bijan Petri who owns Petri's atSausalito, CA.
I copied his photo from the store's webpage.
The store is full of expensive items.
So when we went inside, Mr. Petri friendly adviced me to
take off my school bag from my back. Neither of us
want any incident happen in case if I made a big turn and
broken something.













Mr. Petri only allow me take a pic in the store.
"Touch with your eyes" sights are everywhere
in the store.














This the view of the front door.














Back to San Francisco by ferry.

































That's the best view we had about the Golden
Gate Bridge at that day.































































































































Sealion playground, Pier 39, San Francisco
















































































Union Square, San Francisco

























































Street View






































City Hall, San Francisco



























































































































































































































































San Francisco Public Library
I bought a book, Hidden Colorado, in the library.
Had to do some homework before I set off for the
new adventure.














Asian Art Museum














Union Square


























































































Chinatown
















































I bought the ticket for traveling from San Franciso to
Frisco, CO online on June 29. At the same day, I changed
the schedule for traveling from San Franciso to New York.
I left San Francisco in the early morning of June 30 and
the bus went throught Grand Junction, CO rather than Wyoming
to Denver that time.

Mountain view from the front of the Fireside Inn,
Breckenridge, CO




























At the fun park of Peak 8, Breckenridge.




























Chairlift, Peak 8.



















On the lower right side of the background
is SuperSlide.

























































I was planned to play SuperSlide at first, then decided
to hike to the top of Peak 8.
Well, it was not easy to hike from 10,000 feet to 13,000 feet.
There was a small rain when I got to this lodge, so I stop there
for a little bit.




























Still a long way to the top of Peak 8.










































At the top of Peak 8 at last. I didn't get to top point
of Peak 8 because it was covered by snow.










































Grand view from Peak 8










































































































































































































































View of Lake Dillon from Peak 8


































































































































































































































I spent too much time at the top of Peak 8.
On the way down from the top,
there were thick black clouds
gathering on the sky.
I was far away from original easiest hiking route,
so I had difficult time to find a way to come down.
Then big rains dropped down from the sky,
I was so lucky to find this place to hide at the begining
of the big storm. The storm continued for almost two
hours. Chilly wind, loud thunder, and striking lighting
came with big rain and hail all at once. I was so cold and
my hand started to shaking. I remembered I still had
a small Jose Cuervo which I bougth at San Francisco didn't
open yet. I took it out of my school bag and drank the whole
bottle to keep myself warm. At that time, I didn't know how long
the storm would go on and how I got to the town.
The small empty bottle of Jose Cuervo is on the lower left
side of the pic. The plate at the station shows the elevation
is 11,214 feet.
The afternoon storm is very common in the Summit County, CO.
Usually, it is sunny in the morning, storm in the afternoon and
sunny again in the evening in the summer.










































View of Breckenridge after storm at the station where I hid.



















Another cloudy day.

Sitting room at Fireside Inn, Breckenridge, CO

Lake Dillon, Town of Dillon


































































































































































































































































































































Great view of mounatins at the lakeside of Dillon Lake
at Town of Dillon. Too bad it was a cloudy day.





























I took the following pictures of Lake Dillon atBreckenridge, CO















































































































































































These July 4th firework picutres are taken from
The Summit Daily News webpage.
The firework was on the Lake Dillon.
I was at Town of Dillon's Lakeside watching the firework.

























































































































































How much I miss her!




















Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be watching you

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Since youve gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I cant replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please...

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Every move you make
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you...
