Living in the present

I haven't wrote much down over the past 2 months while enjoying time with family and friends across the midwest. It was a fun tour filled with love, laughter, and adventures. While I start to reflect on the past 2 months all I can think of is how lucky I am to be rich in friends! So cheers to you and thanks for the support, I hope we make more memories in the future. Here are a few photos for your viewing pleasure :) Biking on the Maah Daah Hey, 4-6 inches of fresh snow XC skiing at Red Wing golf course Lake Pepin, Mississippi River XC skiing Tamarac National Wildlife Refurge, MN Frosty trees, view from rockshop, MT XC skiing Itasca State Park, MN MDH MDH MDH Tomorrow I fly to Maui for a 2 month backpacking adventure.

Life is all about finding those who are your kind of crazy - Spring Road Trip Part 2

After waking up fairly early in Las Vegas from the geo-party, we all had breakfast together and still made time to grab groceries, beer, and a last minute REI stop before heading back into the desert. We were supposed to be picking up our Paria Canyon hiking permits at the ranger station in St. George, but upon arriving the doors were closed and we were left reeling, the hike was supposed to start Sunday morning and it was Saturday, waiting until Monday morning really wasn’t a viable option. After some frantic calls we were able to get ahold of another ranger nearby in Kanab and he agreed to help us out, phew the world is full of good people! Continuing our drive into the evening and getting closer to the canyon we decided to camp just off of house valley rock road next to the vermillion cliffs in AZ.

Vicarious Adventure Continues

Over 1000 blog visits in the past 6 months, that is simply amazing, thank you. This following gives me the confidence needed to continue the blog, photo books and hopefully an actual book someday soon. I have made one photo/scrap book through shutterfly of my Centennial trail adventure, as some people don’t like to read and look at photos online. The scrap books are a bit more time intensive to make and cost $ (unlike the blog), if you’re interested in buying one please send me a message. Details: 8 1/2" x 11", soft cover, 27 pages including select text from blog and 187 photos.  I’ve been laying low since racing a few weeks ago, slowly building up strength in my achilles tendon so I can go play again. Catching up on volunteering/helping friends and family with projects. I recently had the opportunity to spend a relaxing week at a good friend’s family cabin on Upper Cormorant Lake in Minnesota. This cabin being quite primitive, (especially in the winter) fee...
