Favre set to play, Vikes domination set to begin

Oh yeah! Rocking time! Hey pack-buddies... time to start thinking about next year! Ha! suckers.

Go Vikes!

NM car tow - FAIL!

Check this out. Seen last week on I-25 in Albuquerque. Some dude in a Porsche 944 pulling a Nissan Pathfinder at 60mph in the middle lane of the interstate in mid-day traffic. Note the 10' strap length, and the KNOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROPE! Good luck stopping this one, buddy. FAIL!

Ophir Pass

Had to scope some back country access for fun & for camping during the phish concerts in Telluride. Took the opportunity to roll up Ophir Pass. A little narrow at the top, but real fine where this picture was taken. Some construction going on just above town - lots of mud in all the rain we have had. Could be impassable in heavy rain until the culverts they are installing are in.

Favre playing Grab-Ass, Vikes set to dominate

Our boy, Favre, is back to his old pre-season shenanigans with a supposed text rumor of a retirement threat causing widespread speculation, and more rumor of a counter offer by the Vikes of $20 mil if he plays. Sounds like classic grab-ass to me, but I do want to see him play. Part of the foil may be an effort to ditch on the 1st game or games in an effort to lessen the beatings he has to take to make it down the stretch into the Playoffs. Honestly, forget that first game rematch against New Orleans. It's the first game of the season, and a non-conference one to boot. I'd punt and play it like a pre-season. Put in the scabs. who cares. Save the hammer for later down the line. With the williams wall intact, and new weapons in the back field, the vikes are in this for the long haul.

San Juan River float - July 4, 2010

Riverman Dan set up the trip of a lifetime for all of us over the 4th of July weekend! A three day float down the San Juan river from Bluff, UT to Mexican Hat, UT. Awesome! The river was low, 700+ cfs, but their was plenty of water. Knee deep most of the way and warm! Perfect for tubing along side the rafts.

Riverman Dan takes a pull off of an ice-cold Curs Light and plans his strategy for the "Big Water" that lies ahead.

Water baby loved it!

Ancient petroglphys along the way.

Why do they call them Shaerds? Because the guy who wrote the book was Scottish, and therefore, does not speak or write English!

Check out the Knife shard. Pretty cool.
