I went hiking with my buds Chris and Dani from school. . .we headed up to Golden Gate Canyon, which is not really a canyon, nor golden, nor a gate. . .

Chris can mimic many animals. . .you should hear her raven call.

Missy and I headed out for a fun weekend of camping, hiking and rafting for Memorial Day. . .Saturday at Mount of the Holy Cross. . .Sunday in Glenwood Canyon and Grizzly Creek, and Monday rafting down the Colorado River with a dip in Glenwood Hot Springs at the end. Here's Missy setting up camp.

Super Missy jumping over part of the stream next to our campsite.

2006-09-26T22:40:00.000-06:00

On Saturday we headed out on what would be one of the more difficult hikes I've ever done. .and definitely the most difficult one that Missy's done. . .our destination was a lake high up on Mt. of the Holy Cross. Soon after heading out we hit snow and we lost the trail. My GPS led the way up. . .although we were rarely sure where the trail exactly was. We had to cross the streem a few times to find more stable snow, as almost every other footstep put our hiking boots 3' deep in the snow! Here's Missy crossing the stream. . .

Missy feeding the birds from her bum at our lunch stop. The hightlight of this lunch was when Missy whispered loudly, "JERAMY! LOOK! WOLF!!!!" Right below us, in the clearing you can see below the rock, was what we later decided was a coyote. .he was not more that 15' from us. .just standing there. . .and 10 seconds later he walked off into the woods before I could get my camera out. The reason that we are fairly certain it wasn't a wolf is because wolves are believed to be extinct in Colorado. HOWEVER. .cool fact. . .2 of the wolves that were reintroduced into Yellowstone in the 90's were spotted near Steamboat Springs in NW Colorado last month! cool stuff.

2006-09-26T22:34:00.000-06:00

An un-named waterfall we came across. . .My GPS led us up the cliff to the right of the waterfall. . .Missy was a great sport about it. . .we had to hand of backpacks at times when it got a little treacherous.

Just to show that it's not ALL fun and games out here in CO! :-) Here's a few pics of my studio work from school from the past year, and some other construction projects I did in my spare time. This is an early conceptual model for the first park I designed.

I designed and built a mantel for my friend Tom up in Boulder. . .originally it was just a cinder-block wall, and he wanted it to tie-in to the maple bar that was on the other side of the room. We also used copper on the mantel shelf to reflect the copper on the bar. Here's what it looked like BEFORE

2006-09-26T22:11:00.000-06:00

during. . .that maple plywood cost $80 a sheet! yowsa.

2006-09-26T22:08:00.000-06:00

This project was for a friend of a friend. .at this guy's beautiful historic Victorian house. .he wanted me to cut two holes in the wall between the living room and the stairwell. . .yowsa, it was a little nerve-racking (racking? is that right?) at first, but turned out OK in the end.

2006-09-26T22:07:00.000-06:00

almost through. . .luckily there weren't too many surprised in the old lathe and plaster walls.

2006-09-26T22:06:00.000-06:00

unfortunately i don't have any pictures of the finished product. .imagine white trim. . . :-)

2006-09-26T22:05:00.000-06:00

remember the deck I built for Gloria 2 years ago? well we finally got around to finishing the landscaping on the side of it! Missy and I headed down for the weekend and the three of us hauled A LOT of rock!!! As Missy put it, "OH MY GOD, that is the hardest I have every worked, EVER, in my life!" she's so dramatic. . .:-) This is a great sunset pic I took from the roof the night before.

Buena Vista and the "cabin" with Dani, May 18, 2006

2006-09-26T21:32:00.000-06:00

So my good friend Dani from school invited me to her grandfather's cabin up in Buena Vista for a couple of days. She said it's kind of "rustic," you might need to bring a sleeping pad and sleeping bag, etc. So I was expecting an old cabin with wood floors, MAYBE a flush toilet, etc. . .

2006-09-26T21:31:00.000-06:00

Here's what I found when I got there. . .a nice rustic "cabin"!!!!!

2006-09-26T21:30:00.001-06:00
