Time flies when you're having fun!



So, much has happened since I last added to this elderly form of communication. (only because facebook and twitter has taken over for short, sudden thought capturing, but not for longer essay-type musings) So, as I think about all that has gone on in my life over the last year, I smile. Many good things... the biggest being my wedding to my beautiful bride! The two of us have so much in common. We enjoy many adventures together! Since our Zion trip last spring, we've done other hiking, mountain climbing and cycling. The most memorable was our 300 mile loop ride to McCall and back. We took a leisurely 5 days and had a blast! For a full week upon our return we were having withdrawals. We desperately wanted to be back on our bikes. In February we spent a week in Mazatlan, doing all the things we thoroughly enjoy doing. Lot's of trekking, both in town and along the beach, a little climbing, and some ziplining.

Our wedding day was Memorial Day, 2011. We got married in a phenomenal setting in the Owyhee Mountains! Up on a big rock jetting out over the valley and Reynolds Creek, 1,000' below. Just our family was there, who had to arrive on the scene either in a 4x4 or in the case of my parents, on quads! It was very memorable. Susan and I left the next day for Cabo, and had a great week there, ziplining, repelling, dune buggy racing, sailing and bungee jumping!

Plans for the next few weeks include more cycling, hiking, back packing and possibly another attempt at Borah. Stay tuned! I will try to post more regularly.
