Movie: Bridge to Terabithia (2007)
Disney manages to not pounce on every single cliché available in every scene, and even manages a fresh line or two. The characters espouse decent values, and no one is composed of 100% Pure Evil. Their machinery for tear extraction is as honed as ever. It’s enough progress that I didn’t regret watching, but I’m…

Live Music: Olga Kern plays in Fort Collins
This is our fifth performance by Olga, and by far the smallest venue in our local Edna Rizley Griffin Concert Hall. Our only disappointment is that there are still some empty seats. We’d hoped Fort Collins could pack this small house for her, but I suppose this is a reality of being a modern classical…

Vedauwoo – Ann leads Ed’s
One of Ann’s goals for this season was to lead Ed’s Crack, the classic Vedauwoo 5.7. To set ourselves up for an early start we camp near the Nautilus. The weather in the morning is almost unbelievably nice, and despite another party heading for Walt’s Wall, we have Ed’s to ourselves. Ann starts strong on…

Sinks Canyon – Scud area
Again the morning is promising. We hike up to the SCUD area and manage to get a few routes in. I decide it’s too windy when I have to reach above me for my rope on rappel. Check out the rope in the picture. Routes: Dog ‘n Dude 5.9+ – good pocket warmup, bigger holds…

Wild Iris
The wind has died down in the morning, so we pack up the climbing packs again and head up to the OK Corral wall of Wild Iris. At 9,000 feet, we know this area will be hit-and-miss in October, and it is indeed quite cold when we arrive. It’s sunny, getting warmer, and windier. In…

A windy tour of Sinks Canyon
The day begins with only a stiff wind. We optimistically don our climbing packs and start toward the cliff walls of the Fairfield Hill area of Sinks Canyon. Those cliffs are more distant than they look – we hike for an hour just to reach them. By that time it’s very windy. We tour the…

Landed in Lander
Ann’s parents have braved snowstorms and the continental divide with their new 19-foot trailer to meet us here in Lander, Wyoming at the Sleeping Bear RV Park. It happens to be our first time testing our camper with full hookups, so we have a little RV test fest going. Our traveling pets, Sandy and T…
