CIM Training Week 1, Day 5: REST!

That's right, it was a rest day. Good thing, because I was driving ~8 hours to our vacation destination, Lava Beds National Park. I'd never been there before, so I was relying on directions my friend Beej gave me. Luckily, he gave detailed instructions on how to get there.

Driving up I-5, I took the Hwy 299 exit and drove to Burney, took a left towards Burney Falls, and drove around Medicine Lake to get there. It was a beautiful drive through forests of trees growing through old lava flows! While not technically part of the "official" monument, it was certainly part of the same formation.

Once there, I met up with some other friends and set up our tent. By the time that was done, it was too late to do any exploration, so I fixed dinner. We spent a little time by the fire, and while my wife took the kids to bed, I went with my friends to the campfire, where the ranger gave a talk about Lava Beds.

• 10:38:30: We sent out a replacement RV042 router because the other one was being flaky. The user doing the swap asks, "Does it matter?"
  
• 10:39:24: To quote Cohagen: "I don't pay you to think."

• 15:08:55: @erin337 @rundigger Nothing is ever truly gone from the internet, if a student wants to find it he will. They shold have thought of that.
  
• 15:10:04: @erin337 @rundigger It's like the teacher shocked to find out a student found the nude pictures she stuck on the internet 5 years ago

• 23:04:55: @262RUNR Twitter doesn't allow or disallow posting of pics. The site is Twitpic, and it posts to Twitter once you upload.
  
• 23:05:26: @262RUNR That said, if you go to Twitpic directly you can copy/paste a link to Twitter
