500 Mile Hike with no Tent and no Sleeping Bag | Walk and Contemplate epicfantasy 2022-09-27 | It surprised me too. But the Camino is a spiritual and religious pilgrimage through Spain that has no use for a tent or a sleeping bag. Commonly called "The Camino" it has been walked by Pilgrims for over 1,000 years. And all along the way are places called "Alberques". These are inns for travelers. They are where pilgrims stay, eat, sleep and meet with other pilgrims. And just about all of the land walked is privately owned. These owners don't want you pitching tents!So, this hike/walk is not like a typical hike in the US with forests, camping, mountains, campfires and all those things. It is different. In my opinion this frees up the pilgrim to walk and contemplate. Been following Me?

A look at, and review of, the new SarBlue Maksutov Telescope epicfantasy 2021-01-15 | This is a look at and review of a telescope made by the SarBlue company. It is a 60mm Maksutov Cassegrain telescope. This means it has an excellent high quality optical system. And it makes it a tremendous value. Watch the video to learn more about it.I also did a side by side comparison with this telescope and two other telescopes of similar size and it clearly outperformed them in every aspect including crispness, sharpness, and color accuracy. It’s a great telescope and it gets my recommendation.It comes with everything you need to get going including a table-top tripod, a 20mm eyepiece, an adapter for your smart phone, an erect image diagonal, and an informational booklet. Thinking about getting this telescope? But want to learn more? I have a great breakdown with more information and more pictures on my website here:http://www.stormthecastle.com/telescopes/review-of-sarblue-maksutov-cassegrain-telescope.htmMore information:You can learn more about this telescope and purchase it on amazon here (Affiliate link) amzn.to/2XGX5ArSarblue now has a newer version of this telescope which includes a finderscope:amzn.to/3xN2VCZYou can find the Sar Blue company on facebook here: @SarBlueOptics.The eyepiece that comes with the telescope is a 20mm size. This gives you 37 power magnification. If you would like more power and higher magnification I recommend this eyepiece on Amazon. It is 10mm and it will give you 75 power.
