Mount Timpanogos Trail, Utah Photos

Posted on January 25, 2009 by John Hunter

In 2007, I kept failing to plan for a vacation, finally I just booked some tickets to Utah without much of a plan. And still had done little to plan as I departed. So I bought some travel books and started on the trip while I was figuring out where I should go. I did know Utah offers amazing hiking options and I found many great hikes that made for a great trip. The first day of the trip began … Continue reading →

Management Blog Posts From September 2005

Posted on September 25, 2008 by John Hunter

Here are some posts from the blog 3 years ago, this month. I took the photo on my visit to North Cascades National Park. Measurement and Data Collection – I have found it helpful to ask: what will you do if the data we collect is 30? What will you do if it is 3?… I find, that asking that question often helps reach a better understanding of what data is actually needed, so you then collect better data. Operational … Continue reading →

Parfrey’s Glen, Wisconsin

Posted on July 30, 2008 by John Hunter

See more photos from my visit to Parfrey’s Glen Natural Area in Wisconsin, about an hour outside of Madison. It really was amazingly beautiful – the pictures do not do it justice. The Parfrey’s Glen trail is under a mile but well worth visiting. If you want to hike more try the Ice Age National Scenic Trail or nearby Devil’s Lake State Park. The top photo is of me (John Hunter) at nearby Durwood’s Glen. The yellow flower is from … Continue reading →

Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, Kentucky

Posted on July 19, 2006 by John Hunter

Photos from my visit to the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, Kentucky. The design of the spaces (living and working) and tools was beautiful and, in fact, very much reminiscent of lean thinking ideas like 5s. On this trip, I also visited the Abbey of Gethsemani (where Thomas Merton was a monk) and Louisville.

You can try for yourself using the Simpson Maker [the broken link was removed]: post a comment with a link to your character. Here is a photo of the real John Hunter (Glacier National Park, 2005):

National Parks

Posted on July 4, 2005 by John Hunter

I just returned from several weeks visiting National Parks in the Northwest USA: Olympic, Mount Saint Helens, North Cascades, Glacier and Mount Rainer. I will post photos of the parks to the Curious Cat Travels section as I have time. A CNN.com article, from yesterday, discusses the use of National parks and comments on camping declining at the parks. I have always preferred to hike around during the day and then eat good food, sleep in a warm bed and … Continue reading →
