On this day:

ABSENTEE ARMIES

On December 10, 1937, in the foothills south of Nanking, China, a Chinese army of 3,000 men vanished in the night. Earlier that day, Colonel Li Fu Sien inspected the troops that he had positioned in a two-mile natural fortress along the road, close to an important bridge across the Yangtze River, where he hoped to delay the march of Japanese soldiers. Armed with howitzers, the troops dug themselves in, and the colonel returned to headquarters a few miles behind the lines. Three hours later he was awakened by an aide reporting that the troops could not be contacted. The colonel returned to the front line. The entire army—with the exception of one small outpost closest to the bridge—was missing. The remaining soldiers had seen nothing suspicious. The guns of the vanished troops were all that remained.

In 1915, the British First-Fifth Norfolk Regiment was on a mission in Gallipoli to capture Istanbul, Turkey, and were preparing for an attack at Hill 60. Over 250 soldiers and officers, under the command of colonel Sir Horace Beauchamp, were pursuing the enemy up the hill when a strange cloud, 800 feet long and 220 feet high, descended from the sky. The troops marched into it. The cloud then ascended vertically, taking the entire army with it.

In 1868, while marching toward the city of Saigon, 500 French Legionnaires and 150 troops from the Algerian Calvary vanished. They failed to reach the city and did not return to their base. In the early 1700s, marching in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains, 4,000 armed Spanish soldiers camped beside a mountain stream one night. Their camp was later found, but they were never seen again.

Day 9: Embracing the French Alps

The morning discerned an opportunity - A sliver of manageable climate was snaking its way through the Alpine terrain, creating a window between the French and Italian alps. Although a couple of the passes I'd originally earmarked, the Agnel and Col du Madeline, were inaccessible due to a fatal accident and snow respectively, other spectacular routes awaited.

First up was the Col du Vars, followed by the Col d'Izoard. Rising to an altitude of around 2400m, the Col d'Izoard is a legend among the southern French Alpine passes, and I was thrilled to be finally navigating its winding roads. Despite the biting cold, the ride was nothing short of exhilarating - open roads, unimpeded visibility, and ever-changing scenery from gurgling rivers and roadside waterfalls to climbs by snowy peaks.

Every component seemed to be in sync on this route. The frosty, yet sunny weather was perfect for the Guzzi, which backfired and spluttered acoustically. My riding too was confident and fluid, evidenced by a christened hero blob below my right foot peg and a scratched up side stand on the left. It all converged into a truly memorable ride down an iconic alpine road.

Descending from Col d'Izoard into Briançon, the pleasure was somewhat overshadowed by an emergency vehicle and a helicopter retuning back up the pass. Despite my concern for the people involved in what must have been an accident behind me, I continued my journey, aiming next for Col de Montgenèvre and Susa.

But, the allure of Col de Lautaret and the mighty Col du Galibier, rising to 2600m, was irresistible. I was conscious that tackling these routes would mean bracing for sub-zero temperatures, leading me to a pit-stop at Decathlon for additional thermal gear.

Climbing into Col du Galibier, the landscape became an icy white spectacle. The road was surrounded by towering walls of ice, spiralling up towards the peak. I paused at the summit, taking in the sight of Mont Blanc in the distance. Celebrating my achievement with a cup of camp stove-brewed coffee from melted snow, I toasted the French Alps, readying myself for the next chapter of my journey in Italy.

As I entered Susa, a bustling Italian town, the contrast was stark. I had been enveloped by the tranquil grandeur of the Pyrenees and the Alps, and now, the urban clamor jarred me. That's when clarity struck me - I was not on this journey for cities, which I could always visit by plane. I was traveling for the chance to embrace nature and mountainscapes, something I may never get the chance to see again. This moment prompted a quick turnaround; arrivedeci, Italy. Let’s see what the Swiss alps have to offer instead.

My route took me via the D1006, traversing next to Mont Cenis. This journey offered sweeping views of the Lac du Mont-Cenis and towering mountains. The scale of everything, reminiscent of what my brother described about Canadian roads, was jaw-dropping. It was on this road, winding down from Mont Cenis to val Cenis, that I realise I’m perfectly set up for an ambitious challenge: the Col de l'Iseran.

Col de l'Iseran, the highest and arguably most demanding road in the Swiss Alps, standing at a vertigo-inducing 2,764m, was no joke. For both my rattling Guzzi and me, it’s a big ask.

Herein lay my predicament. While essential, a second night in a hotel was an expense I hadn't budgeted for and honestly, couldn’t really justify. Particularly after forking out €90 on thermal clobber.

In the end, necessity birthed resilience. I took on an unexpected role as a haggler, knocking on hotel doors, awkwardly negotiating with receptionists, until finally striking a deal at the Alpazur hotel for just a quarter of the listed price.

Settling in, I’m eating sweaty leftover sausages from the previous day and prepared for an early night. Big day tomorrow.

[ HISTORY ] ( under read more )

As a kid, Atlas was never afraid during storms... as matter of fact, he was fascinated with them. Always loved laying in bed or sitting by the back door, listening to the rumble of thunder and watching the bolts light up the sky in awe. He never could figure out why. But his mother, of course, knew why. It’s all because of his father who she perceived as a coward... just up and disappearing, never to be seen again after he got her pregnant. She found out about his true nature and who he is too late. Zeus was kind of always an asshole too anyway. 

And as if that isn’t strange enough, he also can read Greek writing as if it was his first language. He also can speak it well.

So, she tried to protect Atlas from learning of what he really is and his true nature. Till he became thirteen, when he was struck by a lightning and somehow survived without a scratch nor any damage. Even more so, he was able to HOLD a lightning bolt in his hand temporarily before it vanished. Confused and possibly a little frightened aside from the excitement, he ran to his mother and told her everything. She knew there was no point in hiding it anymore and explained everything. He was doubting at first, of course... finding it hard to believe, but he eventually did anyway. Because there was no other way to explain how he felt around thunderstorms and especially after being struck by lightning. He just knew it wasn’t normal.

Then a satyr appeared one day and validated his mother’s confession. He was taken to a camp for demi-gods to learn how to control his power. During his time there, he also learned about Zeus and grew to dislike him greatly. Because of his father, Atlas refused to use his powers often and swore he would only use it for good. 

After he graduated high school, he and his mother were forced to move out of Ireland and to the U.S., because Zeus suddenly decided to track Atlas down and probably use him for something he wanted. Atlas was able to attend college and graduated with a master in meteorology, something he had always been fascinated with. He was able to land a job as a meteorologist shortly after and his job lasted for several years till Zeus’ spies eventually tracked him down, causing a catastrophic event in the city he lived in. He had no choice but to fake his death and disappeared off the radar with his mother.

He then became a special sort of mercenary that dealt with the supernatural / paranormal. Basically just to protect humanity.

An Easy Chat

By Howard Shapiro

I live in northwest Washington state. We are fortunate to have very abundant hiking opportunities throughout the state. Near where I live the PCT makes its way to Canada. A few miles away is the headquarters for North Cascades National Park and the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. A little ways south is the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, and the list goes on.

 In addition to these wonderful places we have a local resident who has found a very successful career writing and publishing hiking guidebooks for our region. Craig has authored over twenty such books and has become well known locally and well beyond. Recently, I had an opportunity to interview him. We have some friends and a keen interest in the outdoors in common so the conversation/interview went easily much like a nice trail with a gentle grade. 

Here is our conversation: 

PCTR: What brought you to hiking? 

CR: In a nutshell-nature all around and indirectly through bicycling. By the time I was 21 years old I had biked across the country twice. Often on these trips my biking partner and I would ride through the National Parks.  I also spent time growing up in New Hampshire where there are many trails I explored. Hiking offered a slower pace. I spent some time as a backcountry ranger in the White Mountains. In addition I wrote a column in the local paper on cycling and became a member in the local Land Trust. This also ignited an interest in pursuing classes in conservation and a degree in forestry, and later a BA in history and eventually a Masters in Education. 

PCTR: How do you prepare for a hike that may last more than a day? 

CR: [I spend a lot of time in] preparation. In preparing Craig  may car camp for several days before setting out. With backpacking I have the luxury of picking where I want to go when I want to go. I make the weather work for me. Craig describes himself as someone who “likes to move”, so he strives to be as efficient as possible. He is quick to acknowledge that life is short. [Getting ready] I rely on a master list- make adjustments  and find it has become so routine. I like doing my own research and learn on my own [about a place]. I read books I [feel I] can trust and websites that are reliable. 

PCTR: In your view, what responsibilities do hikers need to be most mindful of? 

CR: Trail etiquette is number 1. Be prepared, by reading books and magazines about where you are going. Know (and understand) the rules and regulations about a place, they are there for a reason. [Understand] we have to respect each other. Responsibilities and restraint are essential. We must be good stewards. Here Craig turned an often quoted  and thought of famed northwest hiker and writer Harvey Manning who said, “ I would rather share a trail with 100 enlightened boots than one chainsaw.” Craigs twist is, “I would rather share a trail with 100 enlightened hikers than one jerk.”  

Since the 80′s [the outdoors has been a victim] to a gutting of so much support. [It is challenging] to reach everybody. How do we do that? In our conversation it was apparent that one way we do this is hiking and living by example as often and whenever we can. 

PCTR: For you, when is the best time to be in the mountains? 

CR: Never a bad time! [Be aware of] safety and try to go in milder weather (if you can). It is always a good time being in nature! 

PCTR: How do you cope when you are on the trail and there seem to be just too many people? 

CR: I do all I can not to go to crowded places. Timing [is everything]. I avoid going where everyone is during busy times. I don’t like crowds [all that much]. When I lived in Seattle avoiding crowds was number one for me. Nevertheless, Craig described being at a very popular hiking destination and acknowledging the importance that places like these crowded or not are “gateways” to the outdoors. 

PCTR: Who have you hiked with the longest or do you prefer to hike solo?

CR: I like hiking both solo and with my wife. We have hiked  a lot together. [We have hiked locally] and in the Pyrenees and Argentina where we were guides. 

I do like being by myself. I know who I am. Some of this comes from having to do the kind of stuff I do. There are people I share a philosophy and connection with so  hiking comes easy with them. My wife is one of those people. 

PCTR: If you were to name two of your favorite Pacific Northwest or west coast hikes, for that matter, what and where would they be? 

CR: Sourdough mountain is a favorite going back to the mid 80′s. Sourdough is everything the North Cascades represents. Craig went on to explain the connection he had with the fire lookout he met on that first hike up Sourdough where they shared a connection over their  mutual interest in Jack Kerouac. Kerouac grew up not far from where Craig grew up. 

Another favorite is the area in northeastern Washington in Ferry county where the Kettle River Range is. I saw this for the first time in 1995. These are the oldest mountains in Washington. I think of them as the ‘Appalachians of the Northwest’. They have such amazing diversity and more gentle than the Cascades. I love these mountains so much my wife and I got married up there. 

PCTR: Recently you have been writing about urban hikes. How would you compare these hiking experiences to those described in your previous books/guides? 

CR: Urban hikes offer so much opportunity for discovery. I see cypress trees where I don’t expect to find them. I see things differently. I also get to apply my interest in history and integrate that into my writing. Wild places are great but urban hikes allow me to get on my ‘soapbox’ and say how much we need parks and trails where the people are. Accessibility is important. I love the sense of discovery and history. [I get from Urban hikes]. 

PCTR: Okay Craig, how about a ‘lightening round’? 

What do you prefer uphill or downhill? 

CR: Uphill

PCTR: What is worse...too hot or too cold? 

CR: Too hot. (Spoken like a former resident of New Hampshire! Ed.) 

PCTR: Trail mix with or without chocolate? 

CR: With

PCTR: Hiking solo or with others? 

CR: Solo

PCTR: Mosquitoes or nettles? Mosquitoes or Black flies? 

CR: Nettles...Mosquitoes

PCTR: Best guidebook author- Harvey Manning or Craig Romano? 

CR: Craig Romano...BUT, Harvey has a better command of English...

Craig has two new books coming out soon that continue a theme covered in his past several books that  feature urban hikes in the Puget Sound region. Craig has over 20 hiking guides to his credit and he appears to not run out of places or topics to cover. Please check out his many books and his website craigromano.com
