Charlotte, Lynn, and I are off for a big backpacking trip to the Grand Tetons. We’re concerned about bears, but we’re all excited about this trip and the big peaks ahead. We came close to not making it, following our stop at a small town amusement park. We spotted the rides and the lights on our drive up and thought it would be fun. Turns out the ride operator on the spinning ride thought it would be fun to let the ride keep going. We managed to overcome the nausea by the time we arrived. ...

A whole bunch of us headed out to Creedmore Lakes for a bit of hiking and some camping. We wound up scrambling around all over the place and getting lost. There was a bit of panic for some, but we managed to find our way after a little faith in the direction we were heading. Settling down for the night, there was no shortage of conversation. I love that shot of me in the tent with the essential supplies piled out front. ...

Charlotte, Lynn, and Jana are out for some hiking up at Estes Cone.

There’s no shortage of snow up in Bootjack in December. It looks so beautiful, but it is unbelievably cold.

Charlotte and I are over Ed’s place for dinner tonight.

The big Halloween party was at Charlotte’s place this year, and boy was it big. Charlotte and Lynn came as a pair of dice, I don’t know why. It appears that Ghostbusters was big this year, and I couldn’t resist. The aftermath of the party is best left to in-person descriptions.

Charlotte is off backpacking in the Indian Peaks Wilderness again. This time she’s on the Pawnee Pass trail and the top of the Continental Divide. Sure looks windy at the top.

The interpid duo are off for another hike in the mountains near Boulder. This hike is to the top of the Twin Sisters near Estes Park. Looks like a great view.

Charlotte made quite a few awesome backpacking and road trips while she lived in Colorado. Here she’s heading off to the Grand Canyon. Sounds like it was an amazing trip, though hiking there in the middle of summer may not have been the best idea. Charlotte enjoyed this great view of Monument Valley. She also made a stop in Mesa Verde.

While staying in England, I decided to pack my bags and head across the channel and visit Paris for a week. I took the hovercraft and then a train to the city. After settling in at a small hotel, I ventured out every day to explore the city. I really enjoyed Notre Dame and the area around there. I made this trip many times while I was in Paris. ...
