The trip out there was adventuresome. Don't worry--everyone was okay.

We're near Donner Pass above Donner Lake.

If you look closely, you can see us just above the trees.

My good friend Katie was getting her Masters from Berkeley, so we drove up to visit her and go hiking a few times. This is on Mount Tamalpias.

I went on a road trip from San Francisco to LA to Tucson, to Colorado and back. While I was visiting Sarah in LA, we painted her apartmentmate's room.

Sarah's apartmentmate, Desiree, has a beautiful voice, and she agreed to sing with me a bit while I was there.

I pulled over and took this picture south of Moab, Utah.

We drove to Grand Junction to be with family for Christmas. This is in Rabbit Valley about 20 miles west of town.

We spent New Year's in Tucson with my mom.

Sarah came up to visit for a weekend in January.

In the summer and fall, the hills are beautifully golden . . .

. . . but in the spring the hills turn an intense green. This is the view from Mount Diablo from a hike we went on with Katie.

One weekend, we realized we had never been to Yosemite and we were running out of time, so we hopped in the car and went for a hike.

The tall granite peak in the background is the backside of Half Dome.

The bay area is covered with Open Space preserves full of great trails for hiking. This is in Monte Bello Open Space Preserve.
