Moab
We had a great trip through Moab. We arrived late Tuesday night and tried to find a place to rest, but the campgrounds were full and we settled in in a parking lot off the highway. We converted the Outback to sleep mode and settled in for the night. It was an uncomfortable night. That…

The Denver Zoo
While in Denver a couple weeks back, we had the opportunity to visit the Denver Zoo. It’s been a while since either of us had an opportunity to go to one, so it was a treat. As is par for the course, I had my camera with me. Enjoy the pictures! View this post on…

Supporting Shots
While Jess has taken heartily to the life of a marathon runner, I have enjoyed my role as the support crew. My roles include motivational speaking, hydration preparation and handling, “relaxed pace” running partner and documenting specialist. On this particular race day, I had ample time to work as a photographer. I had two opportunities…

Flynn, Spring in MT and Why We Love it Here
Oh the joys of waking up on a late April morning to a few inches of snow on the ground. Just when the thought to leave windows open to let in a fresh breeze, a snow-laden environment proves the idea foolhardy. Spring in Montana is a fickle season, caught only in glimpses between the opening…

Dhampus to Pothana
We had gone to bed at a decent time. I didn’t sleep very well as we had left the screen window open, allowing hoards of mosquitoes to enter our room. I felt the first couple bites on my arms, some even through the sheets. I was unaware of the screen issue, otherwise I would have…

Nepal Video Recap
So… I finally had some time to look through my Nepal footage and put together a quick highlight film on the adventure. I hope to have some more time to spend editing in the coming months to put out some more specific videos on what we did there, then again, I should probably finish writing…

Last year I put together a recap video for the GT Relay. It was fairly well received, so I did one again this year. Here’s to the Grand Teton Relay 2014!

Cell Service
We live in a prosperous country, with ample technological resources. Nearly everybody owns a cell phone and we have come to depend on them for our communication needs. While our coverage still isn’t 100%, it is improving steadily, typically only inaccessible in regions blocked off by rugged terrain, or low population density. That is why…

A Note About Trekking
trek 1. To journey on foot, especially to hike through mountainous areas. I could have always used the other definition of “a slow, arduous journey” but thought that it was rarely applicable to our trip. Now for those of you not versed in the world of long distance walking, it actually is a fulfilling activity that…

to Pokhara
After spending an afternoon and evening in Kathmandu, experiencing the busyness of the city, the depravity of the temple and some of the local cuisine, dhal-bhat (dhal=lentils and bhat=rice), we were all exhausted. We also spent about an hour or so being briefed on our trekking expedition to start the next morning at 6:15 (although…

Capital K
Religion You can’t visit Nepal without some realization of either the Hindu or Buddhist religion and their unique culture. With the population being predominately Hindu, marks of the eastern religion are all about. Prayer flags, temples and sacred cows are intermixed with stores, schools and homes. The holy temple of Pashupatinath is among the holiest…

International Traveling
I Love Airplanes! Lets get some things straight. I love airplanes. Who doesn’t, right? The fact that we can overcome gravity with cleaver engineering and by the brute force of a jet engine, propel ourselves to locations deemed impractical just several short decades ago. It is amazing! I even love the aspect of flying as…
