Farkle and Candyland

Friday night festivities at Dan and Amber's place:

Chris may not be able to do simple math, but he can throw the Farkle dice like a champ.

Has Candyland always been a drinking game?

Red River Gorge

The Red River Gorge, Kentucky is 3 hours from our new Ohio home.  It has some amazing climbing.  With 1600 routes in the guidebook, I think we'll be busy for a while.  Here are a few photos from our last two trips.

Torrent Falls

The Red River Gorge Reunion drew a huge group of climbers to Miguel's Pizza for climbing videos, partying, and a huge bonfire.

Last Horseshoe Trip

With both cars packed up and ready to drive to Ohio, Cassy, Jess, and I made a 4-day stop at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch, Arkansas for some awesome climbing and good times with our friends Steve, Helen, Clay, and Candice.   It was an awesome weekend.  Here are some of the highlights.

A great climbing trip with Helen quickly turns into a modeling shoot.

Put a ring on it.

Why do married chicks love this song so much?

Candice the rookie climber...like she's done this before

Steve gets the shit-eating grin every time he goes climbing

I snapped these shots while flying from Texas to California.

Mikey Findley

I was lucky enough to capture these photos of my friend Mikey playing in Wichita Falls park.  You know, Mikey, there's more to life than being really really ridiculously good-looking.
