New friends searching for motivation after a rambunctious Saturday night.


Bro on rap at Shelf Road.

It is so nice to have a great desert crag nearby in the fall. This was my first trip to Shelf Road and I was quite impressed by the quality and quantity of routes. Corey and I met up with a dozen other folks we didn't know and proceeded to have a blast getting to know everyone and pulling down hard. Saturday night we told some good ones around the campfire and polished off a couple bottles of Makers. Sunday, everyone was surprisingly able to climb, although motivation may have waned a bit from the previous day.

Fall Weekend in Oregon

The Fall colors were beautiful and I truly miss the ocean living in Colorado.

We all know who taught me the J-stroke.

Bean also knows what to do when you put a paddle in her hands.

They sure look like they love each other.

Ian and Colleen know that making apple cider is one of the better ways to spend a Fall Sunday.

Now this is a good ad!

Now this is a good political ad. A true sign of the times and exactly what I want all of Appalachia hearing on the way to work in the morning. Obama is running a rock solid campaign with a message that is spot on.
