Post Apocalyptic Excursion

Ye ol’ Jar and I are starting to feel que el paraiso es un poco aburrido (the paradise is a little boring). After a while, so much chilling out can actually start to make you feel crazy inside. I am excited to move on and explore some new terrain. We have managed to find some interesting stuff around here including the remains of Shangri-La.

& my arm hath healed.

Phew. For a second there I thought I might end up looking like a nice little wrapped up pile of Pre-Columbian bone package.

Sometimes we kick it old school with candles. It’s dark in these parts, and though there’s hardly any light pollution to speak of out here, you can rarely see the stars because the trees almost completely obstruct the view of the sky. There’s lots of tree and cloud pollution here for sure.


Walking back from town. Saying hello to the vacas (cow) neighbors.

“Share the Road” means something different out here.

Reptilian roadkill.

I found a photo of the actual eyelash viper that the cat killed. It was still half-alive at this point and slightly wriggling though as you can see the head is really bonked. Pobrecito (poor little thing!):

Behold, the elusive Costa Rican mullet:

Okay are you ready to go to Shangri-La now?

I had to look for 3 minutes before I saw what Jared was pointing out. This guy does a pretty good job with the camouflage.


El lago. Complete with siesta shack at the shoreline.

Here we have some of the remains of the lost paradise.

The fact that buildings can indeed be eaten by the jungle gives me hope for the future of the planet. I said the planet, not humanity. We all know there ain’t no hope for us. All those Burning Man people think the world’s gonna turn into one big desert. After seeing this I’m thinkin’ that the trees will take back what was theirs, and the planet will just become one huge intertwined messa trees. If anyone is left around they will need a machete instead of a gas mask.

Trees 1 Buildings 0.


Back at the ranch.

Birds of paradise.

This is how we roll.


Down by the riva!!

      Somebody did a great job appealing to the average southern California. It’s like a lost scene from Falling Down (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106856/)
