I get back from this trip to Utah, where I took 238 photos of us camping, us climbing cliffs, us in the Delicate Arch, etc...

I get back home, take them off my camera, and realize that about half of them are gone. Half. I took some fucking AMAZING pictures that I was really pumped about. They're all gone. All I have left are the novelty shots of us goofing around on the first day.

I can't figure it out. They were all there yesterday. All of them.

It's a mortal blow. I was so happy about those. Those pictures were the best part of the trip. There are only those left from the first two days. The first day is just us goofing around in a bus because the airline screwed us over. The second day we went to Island in the Sky, which was absolutely beautiful. And I swear, the pictures stop RIGHT BEFORE I started taking good ones.

The cliffs, the terrible MREs, the beautiful sky, the delicate arch, me and the boys going off the trail and climbing the world, our campsite...

This was the first time I've ever humped my own gear 3 miles (I know, it's not super long distance) into the mountains, set up camp, eaten cold military rations (no fires allowed), and just generally had a real camping trip. We were in this amazing red + white canyon, and the sun...man...

It's not fair. I think the computer must have deleted them, because when I was loading them it was counting down from 238, and it randomly stopped. I thought it was done. It deletes the pictures automatically from the camera...

UGH. I might cry.

OK, not really. But I would gladly pay $50 EACH for MOST of the pictures I lost. Only 3 or 4 of the ones I have left are of any value.

Ahhh Stevo I'm sorry man...I feel your pain. I had this little ritual everyday of writing something I was grateful for into a little txt document (sounds dorky, but it keeps you upbeat), and this program deleted it. Like GONE FOREVER not even into the recycling bin. I think the feeling was similar, but since pictures are worth a thousand words it's probably worse for you :( Sorry man.

(I read your status on Facebook and I thought "oooh he's gonna post a blog"...yup)

You know what this means though...you'll just have to go back.

Also the title to this is spelled "beyong frustrating," which might be some clever joke that I don't understand, or just a plain misspelling. Lol sounds like Chinese... "beyong!"
