Best of 2015

2015 was a whirlwind of great week-end adventures and one long back-packing trip.  I think I logged close to 40 nights camping, 25 of them with Izzy and the kids.  National Parks visited included: Teton, Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, Arches, Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountain, Yosemite, Kings, Sequoia, and Death Valley. And oh so many good times with Family, Friends, and the Mountains.    


 NOVEMBER: I can never get enough of Zion. This was taken from the Summit of East Temple. A long time objective that Spencer put me up to.  We scrambled most    


Fell off a stupid cliff in Willard Canyon then stumbled down stream on busted legs, losing right shoe on the way.  Then made a shoe out of tape and my torn shirt.  The rest of the shirt stopped the gusher on my knee. Lost phone and glasses in stream to..errrgg

Found the shoe 5 weeks later!
