We got to the trailhead about 8:30 and signed the register. Frosty morning! The first third of the trail was easy, with marker posts along the way. From there the trail became more diffuse and we had to rely on visual landmarks. We climbed one last sandy slope out of an arroyo and we were there!

BLIS is an alternative to Wordpress and other database-dependent online publishing systems. One obvious problem with such systems is portability. They generally store text in a database, while media such as images are stored in nested directories by date. It can be daunting to put all these scattered parts back together again outside the original site. (I'm working on this now. It may take several months!)

After doing the Green Trail to Bluff Lake and Round Top three years ago—this year we set out to retrace My First Trip in 2004 on the Red Trail and cut back via Floyds Island. My old friend Peter from Minnesota and youngest brother Bruce from Wisconsin joined me.

The kist.pl program (App) can render text into HTML fragments tagged for use by Wordpress. For text only the -w switch is all that is required. You can also specify the full path for images after uploading them to a WP server.

KIST combines the best elements of various markup formats I've worked with over the past forty years. The original purpose of these tools was to quickly generate valid HTML. The plain text source files are nearly universal and reusable!

Just back from my 29th (!) wilderness trip in the Everglades! This year I went with my younger brother who is a veteran of a similar canoe trip in 2009. We made a tour of the four single chickees in the southern part of the park with an option to boomerang
out to the Gulf of Mexico on the tides. The trip pretty much came off without a hitch. Only downside was the nightime temps were in the upper 60s with little or no wind… so we had bugs!

It is evident that the short coming in each case can be overcome only by combining the gas engine with a dynamo connected to a storage battery…
