Steep Start...Fall Finish

This was a tough one
I counted on these two wilderness guidesand their supervisor
to navigate me through an elevation gain
of 1,400 feet in two miles Early on, it didn't look very promising
My guides kept stopping
over

and over again

So, I had to step in
and show them all how it's done.
The end result was two-fold
One, we made it to the top
and two, the sixty-foot waterfalls
made it all worth it

Bear Claws, Bones and Pheromones

Jesus
Save the wilderness
from bears the size of dinosaurs
bones that look like dinosaurs dogs that sniff
and sniffbefore finding true loveAnd Jesus, please identify

the pheromone that brought

these two together and make

sure it won't affect anyone

else in quite the same way



Mt. Massive Reality Check


It doesn't get higher than this
Unless you're Stacy, in which case you wait
for the big rain cloud to dump on her head
not ours
That brought her down a notch or two.
Her revenge
She stole my husband

He is not a berry picker
She is not a berry picker

So who picks the berries?
He does

Adventures Of A Biketime

The day began innocently enough
as we rode 16.2 miles
along the Colorado River
passing rafters rock formations phallic thunder clouds
and rest stops
Suddenly, our trail boss got an S.O.S.Someone had yanked Stacy's chain
We think a pig was the culprit,
but we're not sure.

Anyway, that made Stacy
want to bobsled down a mountain
and swing with Tom over 10,000 feet

above the valley floor

She's so cool

But, Tom's my idol. He planned the entire adventure. Thank you, Tom. It was a wild ride
