Here are pictures from my student SAF chapter's 2008 National Convention trip. This year, it was in non-descript Reno, which was somewhat disappointing. We redeemed ourselves and our trip, however, by taking a small voyage around Lake Tahoe and then onwards to Sacramento. The majority of my pictures are from the Lake Tahoe region.... read more

Another snowboarding trip in Tahoe after weeks of hearing of people being snowed in, we decided to go anyway.... read more

Yo. We're in Carson City, NV. I'm at the library and they have me on a clock so I must be brief. What a ride. We climbed a 8,574 ft peak through a bit of a snowstorm. For real.

The night didn’t start out the way I planned as I lost $60 in another poker tournament, taking the ... read more

Sometimes people are drawn to different things...whether it be a beautiful person, a good book, a stiff drink, or a certain place. For me, it always has been...and likely always will be the opportunity for outdoor adventures. Over the course of five days in July, I had the opportunity to live like a king...play like a child...and savor the moment like I haven't done in a long time. If you've never been to Lake Tahoe before, you are certainly missing the opportunity to take in one of the most scenic and breath-taking settings that we have here in the United States. A good friend favors the George Carlin quote, "It's not about the number of breaths you take, but the number of moments that take your breath away". That has never been more true, and I ... read more
