I’ve broken this report up into 3 different posts. Part 1 is of my hike at Munra Point in the Gorge and for me is symbolically the beginning of my trip even though the Gorge is like 3 hours from where I live in Silverdale Washington. Part 2 is all about the road trip. The route I …

Being scheduled for systems training in Tucson this year for my job, I researched on the internet to find some interesting places to see in the area. My preference was outdoor areas conducive to photography. I found that even with my limited time, since most of my days were taken up by class, I would still have ample opportunity …
Hayden and I made a trip down to the Gorge and explored a little. We saw the Vista House, hiked the Oneonta-Ponytail Falls Loop, rode our bikes in the Mosier tunnels, drove up Stacker Butte in the Columbia Hills, visited Horsethief Butte, and climbed Beacon Rock. Where else can a father and son get away …
For Dawn’s 40th birthday she wanted to go to Disneyland. Disneyland is her favorite place on Earth and I couldn’t tell her no (not that she would take no for answer anyhow). We spent nearly a week in Anaheim visiting with the Mouse and friends. Dawn has a lot of friends and family that love …
Hayden and I spent the weekend at the Gorge exploring and doing a little camping. Our first stop after the long drive was Multnomah Falls. We mainly were just there for a bathroom break but I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures while we were there.
Spent the weekend camping with Dawn and Hayden in the Icicle River area near Leavenworth.
Spent the week (and my birthday!) in Kauai with family. Lots of R&R, boogie boardin’ hiking’ and ATVing. Had a blast. This was my third trip to the Garden Isle. Kauai is probably the only place in the world that I feel homesick for other than home. Of course if I lived there and had …

Took a drive around Mount Rainier with Hayden.
Pacific Crest Trail Leavitt Lake to Sonora Pass August 20th – 21st 2008 It was to be a week of hiking in the Immigrant Wilderness section of the High Sierra and perhaps a day at Yosemite. The lure of an actual vacation, hanging out at Pinecrest Lake with the family was strong, so strong that …
We went to Pinecrest Lake in California for a week of vacation this year. These pictures are from my hike around the lake.
I had to go to Arkansas for some training for my new job. When I was young I lived in Amarillo Texas and we would sometimes take a vacation to Arkansas and visit the Crater of Diamonds State Park. The Crater of Diamonds isn’t really a crater at all but a field. You are allowed …
In March of 2007 we went back to Kauai for a week. While we were there we rode ATVs with Kauai ATV. Wow, what a blast. We were freezing in the rain and mud but what a fun time we had! Pictured are Dawn, her uncle Tom and myself.
When visiting Australia, we took a road trip along the Great Ocean Road. Little did I know we would be driving by Bells Beach. I had to have my photo taken by the sign. Bells Beach is where Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) gets arrested and released into the surf of the 50 year storm by Johnny …
