winter break!

These dusty skis are getting waxed and sharpened as we head out to Moab Utah for some Winter backpacking and hiking, then to Wolf Creek Colorado for some downhill skiing.  Since we got home from the trail we have been busy

Jay got a new brother, our exchange student from Ghana, Abdul Slam Yakubu.  He spent his birthday at a Columbus Crew game where he met Frankie Hejduk a long time soccer pro.


This Abdul he likes taking pictures of himself.

We went Kalamazoo over Thanksgiving.  Jay and Abdul had a blast on the Sand Dunes.

Election Day in Nelsonville Ohio with my good friend Chris Fahl.  Helping to prove how Ohio goes so goes the Nation.

I know this a thru hiking blog so this winter Kevin and I are preparing to section hike a portion of the Continental Divide Trail.  We heven't picked the section yet.  Any Suggestions?

  1. Wow, I LOVE that you guys are now exchange student hosts (something we want to do in our future too!). You are such a great inspiration to me and I love how much you are adding care to the children of this world. So proud of my amazing Aunt, Uncle, and cousin!
