N-NW to the Future Medical Tour

welcome to my N-NW to the Future Medical Tour blog. those who know me know that i occasionally fall off the face of the earth from time to time. (yes, sometimes for a year or two at a pop...) i don't really expect this year to be any different as i travel around alaska, washington and montana completing all my medical rotations. i plan on graduating from the university of washington physician assistant program in august '09. that said, i do expect this year to be a busy one and this is going to be my attempt at letting you know what's the latest scoop - even if it is a bit less intimate. i hope that you will be able to have a better sense of what's going on in my life and possibly more scarily... what's going on in my big dinosaur brain (see perfect date link).

3870

so, i climbed the mountain 3870 last weekend. it's a half day hike about an hour outside of nome. like the dingbat that i can be - i inquired at the top how it came to get its name. now in my defense, i couldn't remember the number to save my life - which i believe is the reason, i couldn't make the logical connection to it's altitude. well, that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it. just enjoy the photo. (i have a delightful 360 video from the summit, but once again being techno illit, i'm unable to post the darn thing.)
