trippin pics

First stop on our long and winding road home was to see Brandon in Missouri


we got to hear some of his new tunes

Brandon, cooking up what became the tastiest bacon egg and cheese biscuit I've ever eaten.


At Brandon's place with our welcome sign. What a cool dude.

we liked our sign so much we took it downtown so we could welcome ourselves all over the city


hands down the erectest building in KC
As far west as we went, here we are in Salina, Kansas. the boys on the porch


and the girls working in the kitchen. what's new.

Kirby and Mary Claire with their Harley. What a bunch of hotties.


me and mama claire


As soon as we got to Arkansas Maggie and Matt threw us in some boats and sent us down the river. i love me a canoe.


our teams: tom and spring in the HMS Hammered


matt and ruby

me and maggie and ruby


and talley and cat -prehypothermic





spring, she makes darn near anything fun.


me and maggie and ruby, who did most of the work


Dr. Nolan at work while we were having fun on the river


tom and talley playing some one handed mozart


Fish taco night at Justin's place.


Cat and Justin

And east we go. This is j. ben ranz. Silly us, we didn't take any pics in Cincinnati, so I borrowed this one of tom and ben from argentina. That was the day we went on a bicycling wine tour. Boy howdy. Not recommendable, but real real fun.


And then east some more we went. by the fire at the cabin in west virginia.


joe and leah


nicole and graeme



getting ready for our six mile mountain run

and the feast that followed





May west virginia weekends forever be a part of our lives.



And finally back home in VA. hanging out at the farm house in Free Union. I hope we can live here again one day. What a great place.


jed in boots



about to get into a lickin-slammin-suckin round.


Brian and April came to visit to check out UVA. Here they are in a pavillion at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home (it's on the back of the nickel, and also on the back of our mountain in the ville)


on Mr. Jefferson's academic lawn with Brian and April. We did our best to woo them into moving to C'ville. Verdict is still out on that one.

As for me, I'm so excited to move back here. But first, have a few mountains to climb.

Good times! Have a fun walk y'all! Get your butts up to Alaska one of these days and I'll cook you up some fresh seafood! I rented a cabin for my birthday, so you should fly up here for that before the hike starts. See you next weekend!
