Camera in the shop
My camera is in the shop. Its not broken just dirty. I have been reduced to iPhone photos.
The camera I used to take all of the photos I post on here is a Cannon Rebel Digital SLR. It is 7 years old and still running like a champ.
I even dropped it in a lake once. It was totally under in some shallow water. Took it out and set it out for 3 months. Decided to give it a shot one day and BOOM! It...

Be like Josh Dueck
Some of you may have heard of Josh Dueck. He is a very talented skier who sustained a major injury causing him to be paralyzed from the waist down. I am sure you can think of one athlete maybe famous or maybe down at your local Y who sustained a serious injury but that didn’t stop them. Maybe they are a cancer survivor who now runs marathons or bicycles across France. All of these people had...

Turkish Coffee
We accidentally did a Turkish grind on some Sisters Coffee Oregon Trail Blend. We figured why not try brewing it that way! Wow, I am now a Turkish Coffee convert. It brought out so much flavor in the coffee and wasn’t bitter at all! Here’s to happy mistakes and trying new things!

Punchbowl Falls, Oregon
Two weeks ago we did this same hike but it had just snowed in the gorge. You can compare the two photo sets and see how different it was. Most of the falls had dried up. I felt really lucky to have seen it so wild. I felt like a bit of a dope in my waterproof pants though. We over dressed thinking the trail would be as nuts as it was a few weeks ago. lol
