Okay, I'd be as stoked as Mark is if I were riding a Pugsley...
Yep, pretty much everyone has fun on the Pugsley...
...except for viking warriors trying to duck under an obstacle.
Here's Kaz on the approach to Diamond Peak.
Aaron rolling tuff with curly locks.
Ugly view from the shoulder towards Crater Lake
G-nar-nar looking Mt. Thielsen.
The man with the plan Dennis Feeney rolling strong on the ridge!
(is he winking at me??)
Summit ridge of Diamond
My good buddy OX made it all the way out from NH for this trip and the associated wedding.
Okay, here are some shots from a quick beach trip with the family, pre-hitching day.
Pat and Rachel just getting warmed up to the view they'd have for another week.
Hmmm...
...it appears that Mom found a baby to entertain herself with.
Brian and Dad tossing the frisbee around.
Okay, here are a few shots from a quick trail run we did on Cooks Ridge/Gwynn Creek (notice the new ring)
Found this little gem on the ridge
Some of the lovely sights along the trail.
Drink up bella, we've still got a few miles. :)
Seriously, what an awesome place. Wildflowers and moss covered trees. We didn't see another soul, not a bad day for 4th of July.
Okay, here are just a few shots from the N. Ridge Trail. We've been having a spectacularly cool and rainy summer, awesome for hiking and just about everything else.
A carpet of Oxalis, my favorite understory.
Too pretty here.
A rare shot of yours truely with the dogz.
Wonderful midsummer mist further up the hill. Not particularly common this time of year.
Laying down some fierce licks with one of my groupies.
Mel messing around with a new lens.
Okay, here are some shots from a different trip up to Gordon Meadow/Lakes.
So, ummm... Where did this place come from, and why have I never been here!?!?!?
Bella seems pretty stoked too. :)
Okay, seriously, I think I might have fallen just a little bit more in love with this state.
Whoever came up with the idea of rain in the middle of summer is a genious. Wish they were all like this!!
Further along the trail...
Another rare shot of the author :p
One of the Gordon Lakes
Same lake, different angle.
Another goofy looking fella we came across.
Group shot back in da meadow. Too bad there was about an inch of water on the surface and skeeterz.
Island in Paradise.
Okay, seriously, you'd have been doing this too if you had stumbled upon a place like this. :) Okay, okay, next time I hope to have wedding pics up.
