Volcano in Chile: Futaleufu

From: vangelder sarah Date: May 7, 2008 8:35:51 AM PDT Subject: Volcano in Chile: Futaleufu Friends, family, and fellow visitors of the Futaleufu, If you haven't heard of the natural disaster that has struck the little town of Futaleufu, I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news. About 40 miles away from the town, a "dormant" volcano called Volcan Chaiten erupted 3 times: Thursday, Sunday and yesterday morning. This covered the town of Futaleufu in 15 inches of ash. The country folk and towns… Continue

A creepy day at Angler's Inn

These are a few shots I took on a recent excursion with my wife Monica to the Angler's Inn section of the Potomac River, in Maryland. It was a few weeks ago, before the leaves had come out. One thing I noticed, was the river can be a little creepy sometimes. I used to see all so… Continue

Cheoah, May 3

Skipped boating Saturday to head up and check out the Cheoah. After a long adventure from a misplaced GPS waypoint we finally found out way there (its REALLY easy to get there, someone just placed a bad bookmark on the GPS)... anyway, I had the camera with me and was able to play a little. I got a bunch of some boaters, and a few of others. I dont know who the boaters were, so if you recognize someone, feel free to send them the link to the gallery-… Continue

The Mississippi Kayak and Canoe Race

Exactly how long can I wear my medal without being considered "tacky"? The Mississippi Kayak and Canoe Race was yesterday here in Memphis, TN. This was my first "big" race and I was lucky enough to place third of seven in my class. I was extremely dissappointed in my paddling, but when I comparied to everyone elses times, it looks like I wasn't the only one having issues. The wind was whipping from the west and it had the most amazing effect of making my boat want to "spin" in the river. Every… Continue

PRODUCT REVIEW//CHACO's Z2

After a disappointing purchase of TEVA's Terra-Fi2's I looked for a sandal that could put up with the amount of abuse that I put my footwear through. I found Chaco's to be that sandal. I've been wearing them for a few weeks straight now (except for during work...stupid dress code)… Continue
