Sometimes there is a fire that runs through the blood of a man, and the nearest explanation we humans have for it is 'adventure'...But it runs much deeper than simple words. It drives some to the very limits of possibility, at work, at home, and especially at play. I am addicted to adventure, whether on the diving platform, in a deep slot canyon, on a snow-capped peak, in a physics laboratory, or in my kitchen at home with my wife. Adventure is who I am.

We went to Pt. Reyes National Seashore with Sierra's fam over the holiday. It was amazingly rainy and beautiful. Eli was a huge trooper the whole way, despite the look on his face in this picture. It was a beautiful trip.
I don't know why I didn't publish this post 2 years ago when I saved it as a draft, but here it is.
Baptist Draw into Chute Canyon, and up out the back door. Temp at night while sleeping was easily below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Tested my old sleeping bag's temperature rating (0 degrees). Lucky I had a biv sac, or I would have froze. In the daytime not so bad, but still pretty cold. All of the puddles but one were frozen solid. Total hiking time about 4 hours...was it worth the drive? I thought so...
Thanks to Brendan for a good shot of me rappin' into Chute. Shots of me don't happen as much anymore, so this was a pleasant surprise.
