Chuck Haney Photo Shoot...

From April, 2011

Here's a few photo's from a photo shoot I did with Chuck Haney. Check out his work... www.chuckhaney.com

Mary needed a "remedy" for the boring colors that Trek has been putting out the last two years. So we created this one off Trek Remedy. The fork and rocker link were painted by Monument Powder coat here in Fruita, and the decals were made by Bud's Signs in Grand Jct. Looks pretty good I think.

Cliff Riding...

From April, 2011

I'm not remotely scared of heights, as long as its ME who's near the edge of a cliff.

From April, 2011

But when my friends or family get near the edge I nearly faint. Keith spun around to make another pass for a photo. From my vantage point I thought he was gonna ride off the chasm. I nearly threw up.

WhooDoooVoooDooo....

From April, 2011

It's been a while...Mary was sick for most of February, and I got sick the day after our Gus died. My sickness turned into pnemonia! Soooo, adventure's in March were pretty non exsistent. Frankly I don't remember much of March, which is fine by me. We know that we miss our Gustifson and are thankful for our friends and family's support and, most of all, our little Dinka Jane. She has been such a huge help and really stepped up her game. She's got big shoes to fill- it's not easy being the little sister of the best dog in the world!

With spring finally upon us, we took our friends Geo and Ketha to a little known canyon in UT. A hike inside the earth. A place of color and shape. A place where water and rock dance together a few times a year in a violent yet beautiful routine.

Strange is normal, normal looks strange. A human being in this world just looks funny. And I don't mean my Mary looks funny, just out of place.

From April, 2011

The deeper we go, the higher the walls rise, and the more the canyon closes in. The pressure of the water that ocassionialy passes through here seems terrifying to contemplate. But of course, the rock doesn't really care. Only a human...or a little dog...would care if a flood raced through here. The rock just doesn't think about such things.

From April, 2011

As we were making our way back out, a giant boulder fell in our path. At first Geo and I were very scared, but luckily Mary was there to save us!

At the end of the labrynth we drove a few short miles to yet another of Utah's wonders, Goblin Valley. A place that's kind of weird. How does Utah come up with this stuff???
