Ramblings and Travels

There are many things to do at Lake Mead, including climbing some water falls. Lots of familiar people in this one:

This is the last two chapters of the DVD my mother had made at Costco, from Lake Mead in July 1983. I believe this is Columbine Falls, which is now a 1/2 mile or more walk from the river. This is near the top of Lake Mead Recreational Area, almost next to Grand Canyon National [...]

Well, I finally got the photos uploaded properly. The Annoying Cousin’s 21st birthday party dinner (a few days late), went off a bit behind schedule due to traffic, but it was a success.Not everyone in these pictures is family, nor do I even know who all of them really are. But a good large selection of my [...]

I like this photo of the moon over Mammoth Mountain, but I wish I had been able to bring the white of moon out more. It’d certainly be easier if the moon was fuller, but I didn’t get that chance.

I’m back from Mammoth, all set to go back to work tomorrow. It was a good trip, though they need more snow. That’s scheduled to arrive starting on Thursday, with an estimated 5 to 10 feet arriving between then and Monday. I’d like to go up skiing with the new powder, but I doubt I’d [...]

After helping Andy move north last weekend, I visited two sets of cousins, one in Washington and the other in Oregon. I had never visited either of them at home before, as they had always been generous to drive south to see me instead. For some reason, I never brought my camera out while I [...]

It’d had been a full year since I’d been to Catalina. Labor Day to Labor Day. After getting a late start, and buying a new battery for the boat, we had a very calm and pleasant boat ride over. Here are some pictures!
