  • Sneaking in to 90-foot wall

    We’ve been scheming for over a year now climb at 90 foot wall. This little collection of easily toproped cracks is an easy hike from the most popular trailhead on lake Tahoe at Eagle Creek. The first few times we came here, we didn’t even get parked. The first time it took us 20 minutes…

  • Lovely Luther Rocks

    It feels like we’re really sinking into late summer and soaking up all we can. While huge fires blaze to the north, we settle in at the big meadow campground and try not to twitch too much as campers chop wood and fill the air with smoke. Bliss comes in the mornings as cooler days…

  • After Work Hike to Hunter Falls

    In what may be our first “hike night”, we pick John up from the Reno Collective and hike to the Hunter creek falls. There’s still a bit of smoke visible high in the sky, but the temperature and breeze are about as blissful as they come. At the falls See what happens when you take…

  • Round Lake Loop Hike

    Ann invites Jenn & Johnny on a little 6 mile hike that somehow ends up closer to ten. We all seem to agree that more is better in this case. We find some sulphur shelf mushrooms – my first batch in the Sierras, and a big one! Round Lake Sulphur shelf mushrooms Afterward we wish…

  • Luther Spires with Hitek Homeless

    One strange thing about living and working from a camper for a year is that we knew of several other couples doing the same thing, but we were always in different places. Now that we’ve stayed in one place for a while one of them finally came within range and we finally get to meet…

  • Live Music: Norah Jones

    Ann gave me tickets to see Norah Jones partly because they were light enough to carry on my birthday backpack trip. We aren’t big concertgoers, and were having a hard time getting excited. Our friends Grace and Sharli helped crank us up with some arcade entertainment in Harvey’s. I even manage a slim air hockey…

  • Lover’s Leap

    Ann and I enjoy our return to multipitch climbing at Lover’s Leap, rising at 5 am to catch Knapsack Crack 5.5 and Harvey’s Wallbangers Center 5.6 before the merciless sun hits them. We didn’t want to fuss with cameras on the rock, but I got a photo of Ann getting ready before sunrise: Up at…

  • Summit Foundation and Fund

    This site needed some crafty template programming to give the appearance of a split personality – one site with two distinct styles. Some jQuery transition effects and a slideshow round out the custom functionality.

  • How far will my legs take me?

    I set out running nice and slow this morning, thinking I’d just see how far I can go. The answer is about 14 miles before my legs refuse to continue, not bad. But I didn’t turn around early enough, so I had to walk another 5 miles home!
