Full Moon on Palmer Glacier

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

Last night was a full moon (or close to it) here in Oregon. Gerry and her husband Aaron met up with April and I to do a little snowshoeing under the moonlight. We met at the historic Timberline Lodge and got geared up and started hiking up the Palmer Glacier. Once above the treeline wind [...]

Rewind

Monday, January 29th, 2007

I recently went through all my non-digital photos and tossed over half of them into the garbage. Most of them were blurry and really didn’t contain even one point of interest. Among the keepers I found the gems below. It’s crazy how time slips by, leaving nothing more than faded memories, and photos.

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

Years have passed since the first time I watched my first Porkchops Flash cartoon. Recently, I thought I’d try and find the old animations and reconnect with my old pal Don Key.

January Comes in Like a Lion!

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

The snow just keeps falling. Mt. Hood is getting hammered with snow and it’s showing no signs of stopping. By Sunday they’re calling for another 34″ of fresh POW! I went up to Meadows today and was blessed with untracked tree skiing. In many spots it was knee deep. Making turns on the steep sections [...]

Clarkie + Oregon + New Years = Good Times

Monday, January 1st, 2007

Chris Clarke arrived at the Portland International Airport on Thursday, December 28th ready for adventure. With snowboard in hand, we quickly made the 45 minute drive back to Hood River.

After we chilled and got tuned up, we headed for the Horse and Hound Pub just down the street.

Here’s Clarkie enjoying his first Oregon pint.
After a [...]
