Big Horn

A few weeks ago I took my family to Family Camp at Camp Big Horn, just outside of plains Montana. Our Church has been offering this family camp for years. We’ve never been able to go in the past and decided it was time to check it out. That and almost our whole home group [...]

A great weekend!

Friday we had the first part of our missions fest at Church. We had dinner and fellowship with 17 missionaries from around the world. It was a great time and message.   Then Saturday the soccer team I’m coaching played their last game for the season. I couldn’t be more proud of them as a [...]

Artist Point

This weekend our home group and a few other friends took a mountain excursion to Mount Baker, Artist Point to be exact. The trip was a blast and we got to know each other better. I’ll keep this short and let the photos speak for themselves. If you have never been to Artist Point, you [...]

Getting ready for McAllister 08

Currently getting psyched for a 13 mile round trip, 2 night backpacking trip with some of the men from my home group and a couple other friends. I’m planning on this being a practice at ultra light, or at least major lightening of my load. Next year I’m planning on doing a 65mi section hike [...]

Their holiday is 40 day’s. Pretty sweet. They traveled from Paris to Quebec, Toronto, Vancover, Birchbay, Rockport then were heading [...]

Panther Creek Trail

After all the planning and calculating I was able to get my pack down to 45 lbs carrying some of Gabe’s gear and my stuff. Still heavier than I hoped I’m going to try to get it down to 30 lbs for my next trip. Last year I must of had about 60 lbs.

Fear + Trepidation + Excitement = Fun?

The whole reason I named this post the way I did was because Luis and I did a little hike Sunday morning on a new trail we found. I almost passed out and almost threw-up (dead serious). I didn’t eat or drink anything prior to hiking and the trail went basically straight up the whole [...]

Little Mountain 08
