Shade City, A Hidden Gem



Only Blue Mars is a wordpress blog. I confess to being a wordpress person. Here is my take on Shade City from an adventureres point of you : You may not have seen this view of Shade. Micons went off climbing and after many a twist anfd turn lasting 40 minutes in real time, began the climb. Its steep and not for the faint hearted. Cliffs have to be traversed with care. Auto run mode is preferred. DON'T Stop or else you will back slide. At length some twenty minutes later I saw this in my minds eye :









A warning that again I was going beyond the relms of good sense. However I soldierd on and was rewarded with a viw of my goal:

Here are two videos I made which I hope you will enjoy.

Blogger is a bit strange:

AND I tried to upload a 7.5 meg file after watching this for 15 minutes I was convinced I was in a major traffic accident so I gave up. and got this "Could not contact Blogger.com. Saving and publishing may fail. Retrying..." The max file image size is 8 megs in Wordpress its 64 megabytes. Everyone else on the Internet uses the universal html code so you can copy and paste. Oh sorry its not universal, blogger has its own code, so thats Universal Internet Web Language as deemed standard by W3C and blogger. Sorry I feel Ive gone back to a non ISO world. I wont post here again. OnlyBlueMars dot com, one of my 40 blogs using wordpress.
