The Fuitland Cabin ‘support beam’ Adventure
So, Jared invited me to come up to the Sharpsteen family cabin in Fruitland for the weekend. I love it up there, but this weekend one of jared’s goals was to move a support beam from it’s original location (directly in front of the TV) over a few feet. This daunting task was more than…
Alamagordo
On my little excursion to New Mexico last weekend, i made a stop in Alamagordo. The two highlights for me of this town were the White Sands national park, and the Air and Space Park.
I like Gardening????
Trust me…unbeknownst to myself, let alone anyone who knows me, but i have found the joy that many speak of working outdoors in my backyard. Planting, watering, weeding, mowing. All of it. It’s ironic because when I was younger i HATED working my the yard (mainly because it was huge, and I had better things…
The Mexican Freetail
To end the day, I went to experience the nightly ritual of the Mexican Freetail bat. Over 350,000 of these little hairy McNuggets live in the very cave I was in earlier in the day. Each evening, they ALL emerge from the natural entrance of the cave in a counterclock wise cyclone up into the…
King’s Palace
Just when I thought things couldn’t get any better, i get to cave thru the King’s palace. With the help of our trusty guide, Ranger Gary, this was one amazing experience. As Ranger Gary says, we all dream big, but those who dare to explore their dreams, experience the fullness of life. What a smart,…
My hike into Carlsbad Caverns
This was, without a doubt, the adventure of a lifetime. With only natural low levels of artifical light, it is hard to grasp the enormity and scope with these pictures of the big room. To give you some scale, the entire area is over 14 football fields long. I was 830 feet below the surface…

Sitting Bull Falls
Today I went to a place called Sitting Bull Falls. It is a natural oasis in the southwestern desert. Underground springs find their way to the surface of the earth, then cascade down the rock face to create what is called a Riparian Area. The green that you see in the pictures is called Tufa,…
Donde esta Senor Thomas?
So I’m off to Carlsbad, New Mexico in the morning to go explore this beautiful earth and the many wonders it holds. If I don’t return, people may start tracking me down by the following : Flying Southwest directly to El Paso, then returning Sunday night via PHX. I’m staying at the Holiday Inn Express…
Think people!
Saturday, May 11th, was the 2008 Race for the Cure fundraiser for Breast Cancer research. The turnout was awesome, over 17,000 people at the Gateway. I was proud of myself for completing the 5K in about 34 minutes, with only walking two blocks. Aaron, Darin, and Mom and Pop also attended. We all took the…
Dubai
So one of a billion reasons why i love blogging is the connection to so many people and places. I am linked to a blog site belonging to a Chase Jarvis. i joined for the photography that his group does. This picture is of Dubai, UAE, and is actually taken from another building (the tallest…
