Right so I am a very busy boy recently. So to bring you all up to speed I am gonna take a page from good old Sam and run a mini-multi-blog:
-Climbed Mt. McLaughlin in a two day climb with some guys from SOU. Was a great climb but we had to stop and turn back 1000ft short of the summit due to winds trying to sweep us off of the mountain and into the great expanse of the vast east bowl. All in all we hiked for 13 hours over 14 miles in and out with our 40-50lb bags plus our snowboards. It was a grueling climb in to the snow camp but well worth it once we got the tents up and the kitchen dug out, the kitchen was amazing it was our round table and we where true mountain knights if only for that night in time. We sat around talked gear, adventures, girls, and told dirty jokes only for the ears of blokes. The next day the trip out was hell as that mountain is better suited for skis then boards and I ended up walking most of the 4 miles out. I only had to fight off one tree in the descent who tried to steal my sweet backpack from me, showed him what's up, next time I am packing a chainsaw.
-Plan of action for the next year is as follows
>Go to summer school to get more credits out of the way at SOU
>Transfer to OSU to major in Photography, live with Sam and his roomies
>Leave for Sweden probably in December and stay till the boarding is up
>Travel around Europe for a while staying with friends where I can
-Kirra is still growing larger and larger everyday, and has developed a nasty whine noise in her throat maybe we need to change her oil or something.
-The next smoker who tells me to not drink so much coffee, soda, or gives me any other kinda health advice is gonna get slapped, period.
-Thinking I want to be an outdoor guide, doing snow stuff in the winter and water in the summer.
