Perfect Wisconsin Trip








Yup, it was pretty darn near perfect. Jake and Dennis twisted my arm until I agreed to come along. We had 90 degree sunny days and high water on both Section IV of the Wolf and the Peshtigo. As a highlight, Jake hit a roll off the top of a 4 foot high boulder that essentially turned into an airscrew. Definitely cool to watch. Great weather, great water, and great company. Tough to beat that.

Guatemala











I just got back from my week down in Guatemala. Not nearly enough time to see such an awesome place. My beautiful girlfriend Kim accompanied me for most of the trip, and Jocelyne is still down there doing her Spanish program. We climbed volcanoes and got right up to the lava flows, got dive-bombed by a flock of parrots, watched some toucans, and got to watch a troupe of spider monkeys do some ariel acrobatics. We also visited Lago Atitlan and the spectacular Mayan ruins at Tikal. Great trip. I've got tons of pics, but here's a couple of the better ones.

May 11th Verm trip







Today we had a chilly, but fun trip down the Vermillion. It was Nora, Paul, Dennis and I, but Nora got the star of the day for hitting her first combat rolls, as well as her first surf in Railroad. Congratulations Nora!
