This slideshow is from a work trip to New York. The year was 1999 and I look really young. But the real reason for me posting these is that the World Trade Center was still standing. I tried to get photos from a boat I was on but they came out all burry. Still pretty creepy just the...

Long Way Around

I had the chance to watch the Long Way Around DVD after my buddy Jason Justin dropped it off about 2 week ago. I have been looking at reading the book for well over a year. I have liked Ewen Ewan McGregor since Trainspotting so that is what first sparked my interest, that along with the adventure factor. Ewen and his actor buddy Charlie Boorman, who are avid road bikers, get the idea to bike around the world. This is not a movie by the way. This is a documentary. They actually do bike around the world and it is fantastic. This original aired on TV I guess and consists of 10 parts. I can...

On our last CO vacation Noah and I tried to get up to Bison Peak. Unfortunately Mother Nature was not cooperating. After seeing the GPS track I am grad we turned back when we did. We were a good ways from the peak and we were about to hit the steepest elevation gains of the hike. This is going to be a hike that we attempt again for sure.

But that is just another reason to head back to CO for another attempt. Don’t forget...
