Trail of Dead on Everest
Not really wizard-related, but this article was worth sharing. Frozen mummies litter the trail to Everest's peak. Landmarks on the mountain are named for the corpses of climbers huddled next to them; "Green Boots Cave," "Rainbow Valley."

Sphinx Observatory
A true wizard's paradise, the Sphinx Observatory in Jungfraujoch, Switzerland is the highest-altitude structure in all of Europe.
It is situated in the Swiss Alps atop a hollow glacier that many miners died to carve out. Within the observatory there is a 76cm telescope with Cassegrain and Coudé focus, and just below the observatory there is a research station where atmospheric and astronomical data are collected and studied.
Initially, the observatory was only approachable via a treacherous climb to the top (or via Tenser's Floating Disk), but in the early 1900s a train was put in to aid ascent.
Within the cavern there is a gallery of ice statues that never melt. It is claimed they are sculptures, but undoubtedly they are the work of a supreme magus whose spellcraft turned animals, people, and automobiles into ice.

The Eternal Trip
Diggin' these shirts from Jason Cruz. One color screens too!
I'd love a mid-Dodge Wizard Wagon in which to cruise through space. Anyone with any tips on a cheap restore lemme know.

I'm Back
I looked at this thing and saw that I haven't posted all summer. Thanks to anyone who still checks in now and again.
I finally got this sketchy POS running.
It was a really long slog all spring and early summer. I almost forgot how much I liked cruising on it. Basically, every time I got deeper into the case there was something else that needed replacing. The cracked collar on this sprocket shaft is a good example of the types of surprises I'd find.
Plus, a couple times I ordered a part and got the wrong thing. Once it was all back together I had to ride it pretty slow for 500 miles. That was a huge pain in the ass 'cause I had to take back roads everywhere. Anyway, I redid the wiring and got it all good (just in time to go back into storage for the winter, lol!). I'm starting to believe what they say about green bikes being bad luck. I may paint it if I can afford to while it's in storage.
