A New Life Has Begun

The best day.

2 days later at Arenal Volcano.

A river of hot water from Arenal. Also free.

The beach brings bliss.
South Nicoya sunset.
If only every day was like this!
This is the material the beach is made of. Once living creatures of the Pacific.

Stay tuned because I have much more to add and I will be working on gathering other peoples photos to share.

Some One Hurt The Dirt

Jump #2
Rediculous landings
Jump #4

Jump #10 and the start of #11, about 30 feet long hip left

COLORADO
Jump #6
We build mountains. Jump #7 (straight) and 8 (90 degree trun right)
Buckets, BBQ, Bikes, Beer
The sign I created to keep kids from climbing on the jumps and letting people know what they are. Nobody ever believes that these are built by hand, by men, for free, for fun, to feel what others don't.
The view starting at jump #3.
Jump #8
Landings #4
Standing on landing #9 and looking to the start.



Last Sunday I recieved a call from Billy saying that someone destroyed our jumps. A pick ax and shovels can crush months of work in just a few hours or minutes even. We have no idea who did it or why. All we know is that if we ever catch them it will be war. Billy and Clay fixed most of the damage this week. I made it out toady for some digging. They can come back again and again to destroy our work , but we will return to fix it. It may be a never ending cycle. Someone will prevail?

Work (Somedays)

This is what I do at work somedays. Here we are mixing a solution and injecting it in the ground to clean up some other chemicals. Most of the time we sample soils and water.
We use a hammer to slam the pipe in the ground. Then we pull it out to a certain depth to inject the solution.
Here I am after 4 years of school to do this? It is actually fun at times. Work is better than no work to be had.

Charlie and I went shredding this weekend. Chipmunk face!
7 inches on new snow, 35 degrees and blue skies = good times
A sweet hut we came across in the woods.
Thanks Ted. One sweet moment that reminds me what I should do more often.

GOOGLE DIRT

Google Earth is the coolest thing to happen since satelites have been placed over us to watch our moves. We use this tool at work all the time and it is impressive. There is even a new tool where you zoom in on a city and you can tour it in 3-D like you are driving down the streets. Imagine the clearity the government satelites have. Here is the V. I will have pictures from the Earth soon. This year we will have some sweet new stuff and maybe a 30 foot jump if the math works.

Life is Real Good

We stayed in Vail Village this past weekend with Stacey's friend Cara and Scott.
Gondola love.
50+ inches of snow in the last week. 240 for the year. Shred! The good life.
The view from our hotel window in the heart of the elite world.

New Years and More

Stacey and I went snow shoing to nowhere. This is the end point.
Rock-pod.
I had to blaze trail some of the way near the top.
Thinking of Costa Rica.

New Years 2008 with Tyler Sparks, co-worker.
Chinese on New Years in Breckenridge, Colorado.
Puking is always funny.
Tyler's place on the hill.
With a nice view of the hill. I went snowboarding this day but it was short. -20 degrees with wind.

So i finally figured out some housing for friends during the wedding. The sooner you tell me you are coming(for sure) the more like you will have a free place to stay. Here they are:

This link is to a townhouse we rented for some of you during the wedding. It is a few blocks from downtown and is so nice inside. I think this lady is putting up pictures soon. Check it.

This is the other house we rented for some. It is only four miles from Red Rocks and is sweet. There won't be much going out from here but deal with it.

Hills and Home

Not bad looking.
November weather in Colorado.
A Saturday walk along the snowy slopes.
Home with my Mom and Dad.
About half the Fons Family.

Home

I am coming home tonight. I hope to see lots of friends and family.
