Hello, I'm Ammon Hatch, and this is a website.

The purpose for this website is neither known, nor set in stone. But suffice it to say, it's basically a glorified blog. A blog where I put up reports about hikes and climbs I do, and where I discuss issues of the day. But, mostly I talk about random things that I happen to be thinking about... and then remember that I have a website.

So, look around. Follow some links. Delve into my archives if you wish. I've got some great photos up in the gallery as well.

Also I would encourage you to make use of my RSS feeds so I can deliver content to you immediately after it is posted. How is THAT for service?

And please take the time to drop me a note as well, either up in the "contact me" link, or by commenting on a post directly. It's always a pleasure to hear from a reader, and I try to respond to all the comments I receive.

I hope you find at least something on here enlightening, or humorous and that your visit is worthwhile.

Signed,
The Management.

And what is better for a before-bed snack than a whole can of Green Beans?

Here is the first of a two part video series about last week's backpacking adventures. Part two to follow in the next couple of days.

I figured now would be a good time to look back on the comic, if not gruesome, description of a girl ripping my heart out of my chest.



This was drawn by Spencer Smith back in the good old days of spring 2003. I had totally forgotten about it until I stumbled upon it today.

The strange thing is that he, without ever meeting her and with no description, did a good job of drawing the girl in question. His explanation was "It's okay, I just drew Steph."

P.S. My next blog will likely be about last weekend's adventures in the mountains. Stay tuned.

In a masochistic binge I am currently watching Keith Olberman on MSNBC to see how long I last before I hang myself. Well, it turns out I get to laugh at him for just being so ignorant. I have a hard time laughing as he is misleading so many people though...

Anyway, he mentioned Sean Hannity's views on the John Edwards affair and how Hannity said "If you lied to your family and lied to the American people, how can we trust you not to lie?"

Well Olberman turned that around and said "Then how can we elect John McCain who cheated on his first wife by his own admission?"

Well, Keith, you missed the point. And it's so simple too.

Edwards lied.

McCain admitted it.

It's not about the affair as much as the lying to America... sounds a bit like the President Clinton deal, huh? Not that any of this matters, as Edwards is not even a candidate any more. I just thought I would point out the lies of the spin doctor, Keith.
