Following the end of the spring semester, Kelley and I ran out of town and traveled down to Durango, CO for a much needed week on the Pine river.  We always have a completely relaxing and amazing time while down there.  Click on the image below for more photos of the trip!

Kelley, Boo and I once again returned to the Rawah wilderness for a weekend of backpacking. The Rawah is my favorite local backpacking area. It seems that whenever I enter, I discover a new region with wonderful views, and outstanding ambiance. This trip was no different, we made our way 8 or so miles in to around 11,000 feet at the base of the Twin Crater Lakes. We camped in a valley where snow melted into waterfalls and collected as streams crisscrossing around our tent. You can click on the image below to be taken to the gallery for this event. Enjoy!

Buffalo has taken it to Wedding City! With the Worden getting married to Kristen on the 8th of September and Mark getting married to Nicole on the 15th – it is a shame I don’t live closer.. Unfortunately, I will have to miss Mark’s wedding, since I will be in the weekend before for Brian’s. Hopefully, Mark and Nicole can join me for dinner on Friday the 7th.. I still need to confirm this.
I won’t be able to stay much longer than that weekend (Thursday late night through Sunday morning) because of work etc, and I am bummed I won’t be able to see any of the EA crew while I am there – far too much to do in a short amount of time. I know that Snakes will have just moved back to Buffalo from L.A. on the 8th and am sad to miss seeing his new place (also, Jamie and Peter have been in living in E.A. for a while now in their new home!) , but hey, I will be home to the Christmas holiday break this year (as planned right now at least) so we can at least hang then.

Go Bills!

Last weekend, Kelley, Boo!, and I were joined by our good friends, Alex, Anya, and their dog Moby for a backpacking trip to Medicine Bow, WY.  In specific, we went into the Snowy Range area where there are lots of mountain lakes and rocky peaks.  We ended up arriving on a drizzling Friday afternoon and only hiked in about 2 miles before settling a perfect spot on the north side of Lookout Lake.  The rain lasted through that afternoon and the night, and we awoke to a gorgeous Saturday morning.  We quickly decided that there was no need to pack up and travel this day as our camp was better than anything else we could expect to find.  We fished, hiked around the area and just relaxed – a real vacation.  We spent that night and hiked out on Sunday, thoroughly relaxed.  Check out a quick photo gallery of the event – I am sure you will wish you were there too!

Greece was, as you can imagine, incredible. Having been home for a couple of weeks now, we are fully back in the swing of things. We even had enough time to do a pretty good job of trimming down our 750 or so pictures to around 250 and added captions for all, some more detailed that others. Anyhow, take a look and experience a little of what we were lucky enough to live by clicking on this link or the image below: Greece 2007 Photo Diary
