A last minute camping trip up Tumalo, where we scrambled to pack unnecessary junk and forget half the stuff we actually needed at home.

FLY-FISHING the STEENS MOUNTAINS


Fly fishing along the Little Blitzen River around the Steens could be one of the best spots in Oregon, the rivers remoteness and catch and release regulations create sections of rivers with huge fish. At first glance the the "Rivers" are more like streams and seemingly empty of any wildlife. But these rivers are chuck-full of nice trout.

OCHOCO MOUNTAINS


An overnight Mt. Biking and exploring trip through the Ochoco's. The Ochoco Mountain range is home to wild horses, old rundown mercury/gold mines, and tacky dirt, perfect for mountain biking. Worth checking out.

TODD LAKE / SKIING

Were not quite ready for summer and for the snow season to end. A crew of us set out  on a mission to ski. The warm temps and the melting snow offered us this stream/jump next to Todd Lake. Turned out to be a fun day.

Canoe & Kayak Whitewater 2009 Photo Annual


Canoe & Kayak Whitewater Magazine most recent publication is out now. In it you will find one of my images as a opener to their 2009 Photo Annual, the photo is a double pager of Celestial Falls on a frigid Super Bowl Sunday. There is also a write up from Christina Russell, who is an amazing Kayaker.

I couldn't be happier, so go buy one already!

CITY of ROCKS


The City of Rocks is an amazing National Reserve in Idaho. The Reserve has incredible granite spires and climbing. Although, it was a little iffy in the department of weather our trip was well worth the drive.

If your ever in the neighborhood, I highly recommend visiting.

PARAGLIDING



Recently I had the oportunity to paraglide with Steve Roti who is a tandem pilot for Desert Air Riders. To be honest I have a healthy respect for heights, so paragliding was certainly testing my bounds. It's more peaceful than anything else and it puts an awesome perspective on the desert. Hopefully there's more flying soon in store.
