Winter In New Mexico

Farrah and I arrived in Taos, New Mexico about a week ago.  We’re happy to move into our nice adobe casita for the winter and stretch our legs for a few months.  I have been busy on a few new projects which is why I haven’t been posting here.  I will however be posting a bunch of pictures as soon as I get around to it.  I’ll also be updating this occasionally this Winter to share some news, insights and photographs from time to time. Taos is a beautiful little town at the base of the San Cristobal Mountains.  The

First Snow

Farrah and I woke up this morning to the sound of rain pounding on the roof and low hanging clouds clinging to the hills around us. We quickly took care of our morning responsibilities and started towards town in the van. It’s been so long since I’ve seen substantial rain that it feels new and strange and refreshing and beautiful all wrapped into one sense tingling experience. Looking out the windows of the cozy coffee shop I see that the mountains are blanketed in the first snow of the season. Looks like it’s changing to winter fast. Speaking of

The weather has been magnificent and even when a storm seems to

Friends

It’s been a fun week so far since arriving in Bishop. Farrah and I met up with our friends Cat  and Josh. They’re on similar trip, in a similar van, in similar geographical areas.  Cat and Josh are more focused on climbing big objectives and they’ve made  ascents of many super classic Sierra mountains over the past several months.  We got together for a day of multipitch climbing in Pine Creek Canyon as well as some bouldering at the Buttermilks and the Happy Boulders. It was good to connect with some friendly faces and hear some great stories of their

From Meadows to Valleys

What an enjoyable week!  Tuolumne Meadows and Yosemite Valley are beautiful and chock full of things to do.  Farrah and I hiked, climbed, swam and watched sunsets together all week.  Tuolumne and Yosemite were fairly quiet and we found it easy to find a little solitude here and there.  It appears that the Hantavirus scare has kept the amount of visitors down over the past few weeks.  A fortunate consequence to a very unfortunate occurrence.  Our campsite was set back from the other sites which made for a nice private setting and a great place for meals and hanging out in
