Kettle Crest Advocacy Fest

Sherman Peak - site of 1988 White Mtn. fire

Jen and I just returned from a weekend mountain bike festival, the 2010 Kettle Crest Fest.

Friday, our trail work party cleared more trees than we could count from the Sherman Peak Loop trail (photo above, ~6,000 ft.). Then we enjoyed two days of some of Washington State’s finest singletrack – including a 2,000′ descent of the Jungle Hill Loop.

The annual advocacy event is hosted by Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance and coordinated by volunteer Tim Banning. Lucky for us, New Belgium Brewing was a sponsor!

Return to Stuart Island

Puget Sound King Crabs are a species of King Crab that inhabit the Pacific Ocean between central California and Alaska. As you can see, adults are orange, red, and purple.

What does this have to do with marketing? Absolutely nothing.

I’m scuba diving around Stuart Island in the San Juans this weekend with James Keithly and Jason Baker.

Note of interest: the African wildlife pictured above live on Spieden Island, owned by James Jannard, the founder of Oakley, who resides on Orcas Island.

Wedding Photography by Marlow

Summer. It’s not just the season for rock climbing and thunderstorms. Summer means weddings. Lots of weddings.

Last month, Jen’s cousin Kitty Rasmussen married Jeff Craig. Watch the Craig-McIntyre-Rasmussen reunion slideshow (the trimaran pictured at the end was hand-built by Jen’s uncle, Dennis Rasmussen, in nine months!)

This week, I visit Hamilton, MT for a one-day shoot of the wedding of Charla Grenz and Ben Solheim.

I return to the office Monday, August 18.

Out of Office: I’d Rather Be Climbing

One that reckons accounts all the day passes not a happy moment. One that gladdens his heart all the day provides not for his house. The bowman hits the mark, as the steersman reaches land, by diversity of aim. He that obeys his heart shall command.
- Ptahhotep (Egyptian sage), 2400 B.C.

The modern version:
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy.

Climbing is both play and hard work. So I’m headed to BC for the Squamish Mountain Festival. I will check email sporadically, but return calls after Monday.

Cheakamus Canyon, The Malamute, Shannon Falls, Smoke Bluffs, Star Chek…check out the climbing photos.
