Happy Birthday, Dave!


Happy 26th! I hope you get a Soap-Box Derby party. And a silver suit too.

Jed found the Whittakers in print

Remember when we met Michael Kelsey while hiking up a canyon at Lake Powell a couple of years ago? Well he thought so highly of our canyoneering skills that he has put us in his newest edition (5th, March 2008) of the Boater's Guide to Lake Powell. Look, we're famous canyoneers!

Jed's Lake Powell pictures

Here are some of my Lake Powell pictures. This is our sweet spot up Crystal Springs canyon. Note the cooler and chairs that deturred others from crowding our bay. Suckers.
This is the morning glass by the boat:
Here's Dave beating the tar out of that glass:
And Mom skiing like there's no tomorrow:
Other adventures without photo documentation: Dave and I explored the slot at the end of the canyon, which is the first time I can remember it being accessible. Man, it was cool; we didn't bring a camera because we really didn't think we'd get that far. It took us about 45 minutes to get up to the wash. Dave, Korri, Scott, and I explored the next slot over a couple of days later. It was pretty cool too, though a lot more sketchy. We went 30 minutes, then got to a point that was pretty dicey and turned around. Dave, Korri, and I found a nice little 3-piece crack, hand size, about 5.6-5.7. Dave tried to venture higher, but things were too sketchy so we returned to the houseboat for recandyfication.
A really good Powell trip, in my book. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Ann and CJ got bikes

Ann and I just fixed our awesome new/old Schwinn World Sports.

That's pretty much it.

OK, no pictures this time but someday...
