Next off to Black Rock Canyon!

we're off to black rock canyon canoe camping with stops along the way for natural hot springs and waterfalls. we're going with the wilderness med group and teaching them whitewater rescue. come along if you want...it's supposed to be pretty easy paddling and no whitewater to speak of (sadly for me).

just to remind all you poor people left behind when we move to new zealand for a year, now's the time to start your travel funds so you can come visit. i've been told february is the month to visit...good weather and not too many people. anyway, come when you can, we'll be there, ready for more adventures.

Help, I can't keep up with the posting!

Hello fellow adventurers. Recent travels have kept this blogger away from the computer and therefore I have failed to keep the pictures coming. More later, i promise. Last weekend was the fantastic stuck in the snow being towed out backwards at speeds up to 30 mph by a wild AAA tow truck driver bent on our death (kimball and i decided). Nonetheless, the moonlight snowshoe out to the bishop hot springs was worth it all.

Next is dodgeball season! Well, don't all hooray at once but run over and join us for some good old fashioned fun.

Up-coming fun will be posted soon...i will try not to be so delinquent in the future.

Jasper, Canada

Sorry, I would've invited ya'll but this last trip was a surprise even to me. Kimball and Ryan concocted the best ever fly fishing/mtn biking/wildlife/hotsprings/waterfall tour of canada.




Four glorious days...check out the pics and plan a trip yourself.

The drive from Calgary through Banff, Lake Louise, and on to Jasper was full of awesome views and wildlife galore.

Have a Sue Pie

Just for once, I thought I'd let ya'll know about a trip in advance for those of you who like to plan ahead. There's a group hiking into havasupai indian reservation in the grand canyon the weekend of oct 7-9. It's a 10 mile hike and a lot of switchbacks so be prepared....but it is so incredibly worth it when you get to the two huge waterfalls (about 70ft) and the campsite is right between the two. Call soon because space fills soon. The number for reservations at the campsite is 928-448-2141 and they're open 8-3. If you get a busy number keep trying. It costs $25/person for entry and $10/person/night for camping. We're staying friday and saturday nights. Probably will try to drive out there thursday night and hike in friday and out sunday.

Beach Vespers

We're headed out to San Onofre this friday night for a big bonfire and beach vespers. Bring your guitars, harmonicas and edibles...i'll try to have some grillers and/or veggie dogs. We'll be there by 6pm, so show up whenever you can for some full moon jamming. Maybe even some night surfing for the adventurous. We're going to try to find the SDA church out there sabbath morning then back to the beach for some surfing. Come on out...the surf is supposed to be the best it's been in a while.

Got dirtbikes?

Kimball found a great new trail in the hills above lake silverwood last weekend and and now we know where to get fabulous mexican food at lake gregory. Calling all people with dirtbikes to come out and play any time! I'm still looking for the dirtbike I have a title to...strange, I know, long story.

Lake Nacimiento

I learned how to do a 180 on the wakeboard and ryan got a great jump start off a rock with the wakeboard. The cliff jumping was fun too except for kimball's contacts that went missing then re-appeared. Thanks to lisa for bringing the boat. Let's go again soon!
