  • We Are America Map

    Working with Vernal Creative, I customize Geo Mashup to create a map of submitted immigrant stories from across the united states. Additional work went into the video post submission interface, built on top of the All in One Video Pack plugin.

  • Vedauwoo – Plumb Line

    Quite the crew shows up for our main weekend gathering: Kate, Mark, Sean, Matt, Doug, and Liz traipse to the Plumb Line crag with us for some grovelling. I like all the short cracks I’ve climbed here, and of course I take another swing on Plumb Line itself, doing much better this time. Ann shows…

  • Vedauwoo – Clamshell

    No Vedauwoo season would feel right without a day spent on top of the clamshell, a giant boulder that rests against Fall Wall in the main area. Dad, Doug, and Liz join us for the fun scramble up through the tunnel underneath to the base of the wall. We’re quickly reminded we’ve been climbing cracks,…

  • Green Mountain Loop

    I’m nearly a casualty before this hike even begins when Dad drops the tailgate on the double barreled dog cannon and nearly scores a direct hit. Dad fires the double-barreled dog cannon Having survived that, following Dad’s cross country route to the pleasant loop around the Green mountains is a breeze. We scramble up a…

  • Birthday 38

    Our days have been so varied and interesting lately that I don’t mind so much when a more mundane occurrence consumes my birthday – our refrigerator quits working. We drive to Laramie to diagnose it, Annemarie and Huntington rescue us with ice, coolers, and a place to park for the night. We learn that the…

  • Reynolds Hill Loop

    One of the things I love about Vedauwoo is that it’s too complex for me to mentally map, and I’m always discovering new places and new aspects of places I’ve visited. I’ve been in the Reynolds Hill area many times, but never followed the creek downstream, where it enters a windy, rocky little canyon. A…

  • Back to Vedauwoo

    Happily in the hills again, we’re visited by Pete, Jim, and Chris B, who I haven’t seen since high school. The moon comes up and says hello too. Evening Campsite

  • T-Rex Departs

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/96029174@N00/4830700655/ We return to the site where our experiments with mobile living began in 2005, the Lakeside KOA in Fort Collins. Every time we return somewhere, even a place we’ve only been once or twice, T-Rex returns immediately to his old haunts. Here he scratches a tree that probably bears the marks of his claws…

  • Vedauwoo – Plumb Line

    Before leaving for a short trip to Fort Collins we drive visit the Plumb Line crag. The climbs here are short but brutal. The first works me hard, and the classic Plumb Line utterly defeats me, leaving me wanting to return for a better effort. When will steep hand jams start to feel solid? Routes:…
