What we did this summer

We had some time off and decided to visit Wyoming specifically we had heard the call from Grand Teton NP and Yellowstone NP, and we answered. First stop was Teton Village where we stayed a few nights. There is a gondola that will take you up a few thousand feet for dinner, here’s us off the front of “The Deck” There was also a chair lift so I rented a mtn bike and spent one morning cruising around. Tough to see but I am riding up in front of the lift. I wanted to get the lay off the land and hope to return to climb the Grand Teton. On this day my goal lay straight ahead. The Middle Teton… Starting out at 6K ft the hike goes up the right side towards Disappointment Peak then breaks left into Garnet Canyon, here’s the view in the canyon looking up at the Middle Teton. I ran into two others guys soloing Jessie from Virginia and Andrew of Idaho. They had been here before so I followed them for a while. Me resting close to the saddle between the middle and south Teton Then we were off to ...

Celebrating #20

On Celebrating our 20th anniversary, we have made it a habit of taking April 26th off every year to spend the day together. This year we took a few days off to enjoy our 20th yet it is not a celebration of an achievement but more of a reflection on 7,305 days of being married. Over the past few days we have had many laughs, some longer than normal hugs, and excited talk of the future. Every year we do think about our parents who both celebrated over 50 anniversary's. In this we have both been blessed greatly. This year we headed to Kapalua, Maui and rented one of the Outrigger Villas. Here's our view... And our view of the challenging #5 on the Bay course First we played the Plantation course, and what a challenge these 18 holes provide. It has been about 17 years or so since we played the Bay Course and wow have we forgotten how much fun this Arnold Palmer course can be. The course has 18 very different tests for each player. Here's Julie on the 18th Then we took the ...

A Walk in the Park: Sequoia National Park

I was offered the opportunity to attend a conference for AP teachers in Los Angeles and saw an additional opportunity of making a visit to Sequoia National park. This spring I secured a wilderness permit to hike the High Sierra Trail and while I was not able due to time constraints to complete the trail all the way to Mt Whitney, what I did complete was an absolutely beautiful walk in the park, completing 62.86 miles, over 5 nights and six days, including over 29 hours of moving time, and over 10,000 feet of climbing. The trail starts at Crescent Meadow and quickly opens up to these sights... Looking at the trail map I knew there was another valley ahead that I was going to have to climb. Here it's coming into view... Yowza, that's gonna be some work. So I started up the left hand side. Half way up I passed Hamilton Lake, with goal being the pass in the top middle of this shot. Well it's in the clouds but it's there. Looking back down the valley Feeling exhausted I set...
