I went a couple years ago and loved it. The only negative is that we went via cruise ship and I am just not a cruiser kind of gal. I want to back via land and visit Denali. We saw so many bald eagles, they were like pigeons in NYC. And the bears were incredible! Not yet, but that is on my list of places I'd like to visit, too. Me too! I was going with my mom (on a cruise) and was going to stay an extra couple of weeks but had to cancel it. I have a friend who is a bush pilot up there and his wife is a pro ice climber. (The DH used to ice climb but he hasn't in a loooong time- I, however, will NEVER ice climb). It would be way fun if I could get up there. They have a cool Ice climbing week in Ouray, CO every year - Something I would like to try but doubt I ever would. That and real rock climbing! I have heard of that one. NOT for me-turns out I really really really like the ground. My whole family thinks that climbing- any kind- is fun fun fun. We live by some awesome cliffs and they are always up there. Not the DH, too much since his shoulder replacement. However, there are days that the three of them go up and climb and I just sit here and fret (drink wine) untill they get back. Not to go somber but did you ever read the book about the dad who starts that after his sons dies in a climbing accident? Great story with sad circumstances. BTW - if you guys like stuff like that - you have to read The Last Season - it is about a Sierra backcountry ranger who goes missing - awesome story. I gave up reading a while ago but when I get a good book like that I don't stop until I am done! I am picking up the paperback edition tonight after work because the author added some stuff to it! I don't read as much as I'd like to. |

I'm bringing DH, though. He is good for DD and hauling equipment. We live in his families home (200+ years) but both LOVE to travel. Brining Mt bikes, kayaks and DH has to canoe. Road and Mtn bikes for me. Love to borrow a kayak. I've always wanted to ocean kayak, but never tried. My son and I did on the Mystic River and we want to buy one this year when Uncle Sam pays us back! When I was at Lake Tahoe I saw a guy out and I wanted to swim out to meet him but the water was a little too cold w/o wetsuit! I love love love to kayak. I am not too good at white water but fair. I have a "lake" kayak (not quite as pointy as an ocean kayak) but it can do the trick there too. It has pedals!! So I can paddle or pedal. The DH only likes to canoe- either white water or flat- NOT for me. white water canoeing is hard. We have not had a chance to do either for a while. Maybe if the weather doesn't suck we'll get some time this weekend. Hello everyone! I gotta jump in on this!! I have a cousin who does the ironwolf I believe it is called, he white water canoes, mountain bike and run I think? He asked me to join him on one of his practice canoe rides and I had a blast! ok now to go catch up! KIM!!! Where have you been!!??!!?? Oh, and good luck with the catching up thing!  I can see this may be an issue seeing that I can't even keep up with "real" time! |

I was born there. My Dad's side of the family still lives there. He was in the military and that took us all over the map. I more or less grew up in Georgia though. Work took me out to Arizona and then to the east coast. I've been in NJ for the last 10 years. But I will retire out west. My cousins live in Missoula and have a house on Flathead lake. I love going to visit. As a semi type A workaholic it is good for me to hang with people who work to live vs live to work. OK that is cool - we can be friends and you would definitely want to hang out with me - work is a means to travel and exercise and comes a distant 3rd or 4th (I just make it look good by showing up early (then leaving early also) and taking all the good travel sites so the boss thinks I am dedicated )Yep I need more friends like you. I work crazy long hours and exercise is a real stress reliever. I also take advantage of the travel my job requires, although sometimes it is exhausting. I would never complain though as it has allowed me to see parts of the world I would never otherwise visit. I haven't been to Africa yet and that is definitely on my list. I am jealous of you guys that get to travel for work. What a great way to get to see great places. I make people clean up hazardous waste. WHEN I get to travel is to the industrial wastelands of the country. Robin I just extend my stay - most times I am in industrial parks and stuff like that but my hours are pretty short when I travel most times so I just extend the stay or make due with the free time I have. Thursday I landed at 1:45 but could not see my client until Friday morning so I headed off to Lake Tahoe. Most of the guys I work with would go check in the hotel and find the local bar. I went for a cool drive and saw a pretty cool place. Should have planned better and I could have snuck a nice hike in but I was lallygagging too much! I get to sit in an office in the ghetto and hope the giant spiders don't get me! I'd pick traveling any day over what I have now! GIANT SPIDERS???!!! Yes, giant spiders. Giant spiders that no one has been able to identify yet. When we were in the nice building, before being moved to the ghetto, I always left 2 blazers hanging in my cube, I was right under an air vent and always cold. Now I won't leave anything hanging in here for fear that the spiders will think they found a mate. We used to be in a nice building, with all the other departments. Then someone had this brilliant idea to rearrange everyone. We got moved into a building that was scheduled for demolition. The front of the building is falling off. That's why I call it the ghetto. I just heard this morning that we may be moving back up to the nice building again. Yea!! Now spiders give me the heebee jeebees. Do NOT like them. That was one thing I didn't like about AZ....huge hairy spiders. Ann, you should sue for hostile work environment.  Wait... there are huge hairy spiders in AZ? That is where I wanted to go!  Time to pick someplace else.  I'm with you....no can do the spiders! |

So by the time I eat and wind down a bit I crash pretty early I get up that early so I can get to work and get my workday over with, then I head home to run or to the Y. I try to get my workouts in so I don't have a real big impact on everyone else's life in my house. Yes, the kids do have to stay at Grandma's a little longer, but they'll be ok. I have different running distances mapped out so I can run from point A to point B and meet my husband at a certain spot on his way home and get a ride. I like those runs better than doing loops. I do enjoy sleeping in on Saturdays and Sundays though! |

Just like Colorado and snow - sure it snows but it also gets to 60 and 70 in the winter. I live just over the Columbia river from Oregon. The clouds vs sunshine depend on whether you are east or west of the mountains. The good part about where I live is that in a couple of hours I can get to the ocean, the mountains, the rivers or the forests or even the farming plains. The bad part is that I live on the cloudy side of the mountains.. Oh well. DH and I hope to "retire" to eastern Colorado (high plains desert). That is where he grew up. And our first date was a white water rafting trip.  So fun!So.... Dee, do you have an extra seat open for Thanksgiving? SURE...Come on over! |

Here in NC, I used to say that WW rafting was for when you were to drunk to open boat. (rivers are way different than in Colorado AND I was a lot younger). A few years ago we spent a week camping up and down the Columbia. You're right, each area is so different. It was a great trip! |

I am avoiding raking leaves by playing on the computer until I have to leave for work. I only got about a third of the yard raked yesterday, and it doesn't look like I will get much done out there today. Oh well.... Should only have two or three more weeks of the leaves. We have made it thru about 4-5 weeks of the trees dumping so far. |
