Howdy Rowdy! Random Stuff about My Family

Welcome back!

Natalie and I went to the story telling festival tonight and really enjoyed it. This is the 3rd year that we have gone and I think it is becoming a tradition. Some of the tellers we really liked tonight were Kevin Kling, Victoria Burnett, Bill Harley, Carmen Deedy and Rex Ellis. I am looking forward to the big “laugh-in” Saturday night at the Scera outdoor theater! Here are a few pictures…

I got into computers way back when I was in jr. high school and the best computers around were either Apple II’s or IBM XT’s.  Graphics in games (along with everything else having to do with computers) has come a LONG, LONG way.  However, some of those old games are still so awesome.  This video is a little tribute to those awesome old games that sometimes lost something in translation…

 

All Your Base

On August 14th, 2008 we hiked “The Subway” with some friends.  Our guides, the Paxmans, had hiked it once before and talked us into going with them.  I had high expectations for the hike and was totally blown away.  It is the most incredble hike I’ve been on and the formations and scenery are incredible.  It is a strenuous all-day hike that took us about 10 hours to complete (including time to stop and play along the way).  Our family group included Natalie, Davis, Thane, Eli, and myself.  The other families that went were Tolds, Paxmans, and Smiths.

 

Here is a link to my GPS track — batteries went dead for a portion of the hike but you get the general idea.  To see a detailed breakdown of the GPS log click the image below.
