Pictured Rocks in Summer, Michigan: Photos & Trip Report - StumbleUpon » miners beach to grand portal point On Friday we hiked from Miners Beach to Grand Portal Point which is about 13 miles round-trip according to my GPS. Despite visiting Pictured Rocks several times, I had never hiked this section of the Lakeshore Trail so it was nice to see some new scenery. Lake Superior was actually reasonably warm so I got to go for a swim on Mosquito Beach which was very nice. The view towards Miners Beach. Looking southwest from Indian Head.

How to Travel Full-Time for $17,000 a Year (or Less!) Wise Bread Picks For the last five years, I've been traveling the world full-time, and for less money than I've ever spent (and I'd wager less money than most people would spend) to live in one place. My worldly possessions fit into one bag (just larger than carry-on size) and a backpack containing my laptop and computer gear. This small entourage (weighing less than 45 pounds in total) comes with me as I wander around the world, sometimes quickly, but mostly slowly. In 2011 alone, I traversed 13 countries and over 45,360 miles. Sounds pretty expensive, huh?

102-Year-Old Lens Plus Canon 5D Mark II Equals Instant Vintage Photos Photographer Timur Civan had a project that required vintage-looking photographs. Originally planning to shoot the project on a 4×5 large format camera, he abandoned that route after calculating the cost for equipment and processing. His lens technician friend then discovered a 1908 Wollensak 35mm F5.0 Cine-Velostigmat hand-cranked lens in a box of spare parts, and spent 6 hours helping him make the lens fit on an EF mount for Civan’s 5D Mark II. Check out these untouched JPEG images straight from the camera: Instant vintage photographs! Is that cool or what?

Exploring Norway’s Fjords by Car and Boat Stung by the cost of things ($20 burgers from a street shack! $13-a-gallon gas!), we decided to arm ourselves with groceries. How I Can Afford My Life Of Constant Travel I’m confused. I’m simply confused as to how it’s possible that I have so far failed to properly explain how I’ve managed to travel/live/work abroad nonstop for 12 years straight (and counting). The questions are still pouring in every single day: How do you do it? How is it possible to travel for so long? Where does the money come from?
