Our first WorldView Tale of Travel comes to us from Mason who had a close encounter with mother nature on a trip to northern Arizona:
“About an hour and a half north of Phoenix, Arizona, there are is immense amount of places that you can go to camp, hike, or just get a breath of fresh air and check out some amazing scenery. Personally, I hike in Sedona all the time and it is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to in America. The most appealing thing about it is that within the small touristy town there are numerous places you can go to check out some of the most adventurous and beautiful trails you will ever hike. Another aspect that makes Sedona perfect is its concentration on easy, moderate, and difficult hiking trails so that no matter whom you are, you can find a place to check out and have an excellent experience.
“Outside of Sedona you can find an equal amount of hiking trails and campsites within the surrounding area. Verde Valley is a site that is perfect for getting away from civilization and just roughing it for a couple of days. Many of the trails branch off from the main road for easy access and you can find places that seem as if they have been untouched by human civilization.
“Once in Verde Valley a friend and I decided to go survivalist camping. We picked a spot right off of the 89A and parked. We began to hike and quickly the trail submerged into a valley that looked as if a long time ago it was submerged in water. There were these huge stone pillars with holes in them all around, as if creating a forest of fossilized fish mountains. When we journeyed further we came across a clearing next to a creek. Because of the lack of large rocks and the flat land, we decided to set up camp.
“Nightfall came upon us quickly and we hurried our machetes about the landscape looking for dry lumber to bring back to camp for a fire. Unfortunately the first night we were not able to get a fire going before dark, and all of our efforts seemed futile. My friend and I smoked cigarettes and talked in the dark. As the moon emerged and the night instilled its silence upon us there was a feeling of the presence of something else around us. We remained still and quiet and alert, looking wide eyed and blindly in all directions with only the silvery lamplight of the moon to unveil the shadowy figures which lurched in our peripherals.
“Suddenly the scream of agony from a rabbit pierced our ears, coming just feet away from where we were sitting. The rabbit cried until it abruptly stopped, sending chills up and down my already shivering spine. What came next was the general consensus of joy from the shadowed pack of coyotes that were just now becoming visible. They howled loudly in pride at the kill, as if all of them had simultaneously caught a rabbit instead of just one. They began to eat. The sound of bones breaking and the maniacal savagery being inflicted upon the animal filled me with a reality so profound it is hard to describe. I was in the middle of something that happens all the time in a world that was completely foreign.”
Thanks Mason!

Hi! I was impressed by your photograph!!
I live in Japan.
When I watch this photograph, I want to go to Sedna.
Do not you give this photo to me?
I want to use this photo for the wall paper of my PC.
I want to make the website sometime and want to introduce this photo.
Thank you!
I ‘m new on blogging and have recently developed my own blog and right now I am trying to study as much as possible about this kind of thing. I really like your site skin, can you tell me what layout is it? Is this customized layout or is it paid one? Anyway I can’t afford to get paid design nor have the ability to custom template myself. Sorry for this noob question, thanks.
Hello there. I am still really new on blogging and the entire things around this industry. There are lots of terms I still can’t know. I’m not pretty sure I will be able to write half decent to yours. I am gonna browse the entire blog maybe I will be able to feel your writing style a little.
Hi, do you have a facebook fan page for your blog?`:,~”

I just got my ipad 2 16GB 3G wifi yesterday with a tan leather Smart Cover and here is my first impressions…
– Dual-core processor
it’s much faster switching between apps, and general browser navigation. Now I don’t have any processor-heavy apps to test it out yet, but so far, so good.
– Small and light
this thing is so much easier to carry around. Some folks were surprised that I was carrying it around with just the cool little cover – no case, no protection. Now I’m not clumsy, so it worked.
– Productivity
All the reasons above will more than likely encourage me to get more things done on my iPad when I would normally wait until I am front of a computer. Even with the iPad and all its sexiness (I’m a tech geek, so my sexy may not be your sexy), the tablet isn’t going to replace a computer. BUT the ability to use it in MORE situations makes it a worthy tool.
I start to customize it for my setting i didn’t like the wallpapers that come with ipad some of them are nice but they doesn’t let you see how the ipad screen is fantastic so I did some search on internet and found this website for “iPad Wallpaper(keywords)” ipadwallpapertoday.com it have some great wallpapers for ipad
So there you have it. You don’t HAVE to take my word for why you should get an iPad…but you should.
Hi, do you have a facebook fan page for your blog?`;`-‘
