Catract Canyon.

This is a Picture of me going through Big Drop Three. It is called the slot or the slit. I can't remember. Marcus would know. Enjoy the pictures.

Moab and me.

So this was the trip that I was just on. It was fun. I also really enjoyed the smokey haze that we created with the burgers that we cooked. Not only that, but the rock is a picture of gummi bear rock. It is sweet. It really looks like a gummie bear. Well I am going to run. I have some more awesome pictures to come but for now we will leave it as is. later.

Audrey or as we call her Princess.

Well I won't make you wait to see Princess. So here you go. This is Audrey. Have a great day.

Finaly a story to tell worthy of the Blog.

Well kids gather around for once again it is story time with Hammy. It has been a wonderful day so far. I have the day to do nothing and so as a result Marcus and I decided that we would go and climb at this sweet spot that he knew about. So we went. On our way out we decided to hit the store for some goodies. I noticed that the gas prices had come down and thought that was fantastic. Well as you can probably see where this is going I will continue forward. We then headed out on our little adventure. We started heading out south of town and were headed into the La Sal Canyon to do some climbing. On our way to our location it became very hilly. On our way up we were laughing and talking about some great times from the past and as we were nearing our destination maybe between 2-5 minutes out Emmy, for those of you who don't know who Emmy is that would be my Bus, started to jump like she was running out of gas. I then looked over at Marcus and said, "Marcus, We're running out of gas. So we laughed about that and thanked our lucky stars that we were on a very steep hill. So we flipped around which had to be done in reverse because I couldn't get the car to run. So upon switching directions and heading back out of the canyon we continued to joke about it. Marcus relived the only three other experiences he's had with running out of gas. Two of which were in VW's. Well we made it out of the canyon no problem and decided that if we could make it this far we could make it to the gas station. The car was running just fine and so we just kind of rationalized that it was the hill and that there was plenty of gas to get us to a station to fill up. That was where we were wrong. We got what we thought was roughly about three plus miles from the gas station and ran out of gas. As a last ditch effort I popped Emmy into Neutral and we began a coast towards the station. This was great because as long as we peaked out on the hill we would make it to the Shell station no problem. Well we barely peaked and then began the descent into the wonderful world of "oh we have this no problem." As we pulled into the station I had to pull all the way around all of the pumps just to get to the last one so that i could get to the pump on the passenger side. This was one of the most amazing times that I have had since I have been here. Once again it was just another adventure to add to the wonderful story book that Marcus and I have started and continue to add to. So needless to say it was awesome and we actually went back climbed and on the way back in we measured the length at which we traveled and it was exactly three miles and roughly two tenths of a mile. So I hope that you all enjoyed. I chuckled to myself just by rewriting it. It is a treasure to be here and to be surrounded by such great people.

Tim hanging out and feeling the joy of being on the wall. Tim upclose and personal.
Quinn's last climb ahhhh!
Bouldering Baby!


Quinn and Jo and Jess





Hee hee! This is Tim's sister Jessie and since I have the photos from the last few days of Tim's trip on my computer, I get to blog them for him. I thought pink font would be fun and would add a new dimmension to his blog. So here we go...



We had a BLAST with Tim here. We kept him so busy. Our last two days included a zoo trip where unfortunately I forgot the camera, a visit to gymnastics and of course climbing Climb Nashville. We spent 5 hours at the gym, which for most of Tim's friends is probably no biggy, but for my sister in law and my brother in law and myself, was a whole heap of fun and good sore muscles. Tim showed me the new love of his life. Contrary to popular belief this is not a girl but bouldering. It was fun. A good short challenge with a fun fall at the end. I successfully climbed one route and lots of online routes. Tim is so fun to watch. He makes friends where ever he goes and is the best for encouraging others to achieve their potential. I think we can all learn a good lesson on how to be better that way from him. Well enough about my feelings. You all know that Tim is a great kiddo and that I love him.

Moab is a Blasty.

I am having a ton of fun just floating and working lots. I have done my decond daily trip. I am having a great time. I hope that life has found everyone else well. I am still working on the phone situation. I think that I might have to take a trip to a Sprint store and find out how long I have left on my contract and then see if I can finish it out and move on to Verizon. Well that is about it for me right now. I just want you all to know that I am fine and that I love you all. take care and have a fun time this summer, I am. Also just in case you were wondering the climbing here Rocks. I am loving that as well.
later.

Redneck Slip and Slide (Nashville Part 3)

Just for referrence on this where you see Nick and I you can count on pain. I don't think that there was a moment where being followed by Nick on the slide didn't in some way or form equate to some form of pain. Well anyways, here are some very lovely pictures of the slide and what we have accomplished. It is fantastic. There was a huge competition between the boys, as always, on who could slide the furthest and well needless to say Morgan did take the cake. He went all the way down to the fence. So just so you get an idea on how long this slide was it was 100 ft. long and we were sliding an additional 30 to 40 feet down to the fence. This is of course across acorn and stick infested grass. I tell you what I am feeling the pain. I have a lot of great war wounds and am looking to finish out the stay with what ever else comes my way. Stay tuned for more, oh and if you are just checking this take a second to scroll on down and see what else is on here. I do believe that I have posted a lot of new stuff in the last 2 or 3 days. Well this is hammy signing out.

Later.

Nashville Part 2

Well lets just take a moment to note that when playing with kids on a swing they want nothing more than for you to push them higher and higher. So these are all at central park. This was a lot of fun. This was also my first experience with a magnolia tree hence why I am hanging from a tree like a monkey. The kids are adorable and Jessie and I have had a ton of fun hanging out together. Just note that this has been one crazy adventure so far. But I am having a hard time keeping up with my energy level compared to the kids. I feel like I need a nap every hour just to keep up with them. Well I think that is good for now.

Hammy Out.
