Creekercation 2011

The basic plan for Creekercation 2011 is to spend a long weekend in McCall, ID. Once we have dates we'll work on reserving some condos with space enough to accommodate all the individuals and families that want to come. We'll play tennis and football, swim, boat, hike, bike, and eat lots of delicious food. It will be as good or better than this year, even without the 300+ miles of biking. What do you think? Are you in? Please vote on the date on the right. 

A little Labor Day vacay

Cardon, Kelly, Mackenzie, and I had a rad Labor Day weekend. We had a rough plan to head north to Southern Vermont for camping and swimming. On our way, we made a serendipitous stop in Saugerties, NY, where we met Rae Stang, the owner of a chocolate shop. When we told her we didn't have a place to stay, she offered to put us up for the night if we'd help clean up the shop and then help her set up her farmers market booth the following morning. Rae had a beautiful old truck and an amazing apartment above the chocolate shop, full of awesome modern design (see below). Despite Rae's hospitality and invites to stay another day, we moved on to Vermont, where Cardon and Kelly had scoped out some fantastic swimming and cliff jumping spots. In the pics below, we're cliff jumping at one of the oldest marble quarries in the U.S. It has since filled with water and makes for the raddest cliff jumping site I've ever seen. We did a little apple picking and Cardon did some bouldering to round out the weekend. Look closely at the last picture to find Cardon spoiling a family moment. Hope you all had good weekends and that you're getting chances to get together in Utah, Idaho, or wherever else. You're always welcome to visit the East. Take a look here and here for more pics.
