Bethel Church, Whitney Nebraska

Bethel Church, East of Whitney, Nebraska. Just down the road from my parents house.



My mom and cousin, visiting on the fence out side the graveyard



To have the area be so green in mid Auguest is both unusual and a treat. It has been raining off and on all summer, unusual for the area.



The two small buildings behind the church, they are out houses. since Bethel Church has no indoor plumbing. One for men and one for women.



Bethel Church was almost in a compleat state of ruin a couple years ago, but since then locals (of which my parents are some) have begun a group to restore and save Bethel Church.



Some of the graves are dated the early 1900s and late 1800's it is amazing, infact they are the majority. My grad father is burried here.

Moss Landing, and Sand City



Chris and I found our selves in California in May......I dont remember why. I think it was his birthday. We went one evening to fly Sand City.....it was a no win(d) situation, so we walked the beach of Moss landing....and were disturbed by over a dosen dead seals and almost 2 dos. dead cormerants.....i was heart broken when we found a dying pup....i called animal services....they said they could do nothing. I was disturbed.

April 19th Southern Utah



SOMEONE....nudge nudge....made me an awesome birthday HAT!.....and went w/ me to the Fisher Towers out side Moab UT! We went to climb Ancient Art...a mud tower that was , honestly more solid than i thought that it would be.



Chris led it....it was a bit too stiff for me. But it was fun, I enjoyed the 2/3rd pitch most.....though I kinda lamed out on the last and most (what has been said to be thrilling) part of the climb, I just wasn't feeling good about it....so walked accross the diving board and sidewalk....i cried a bit, because i was mad that i whimped out. but i'll try it again some other time.


Bad pict of the tower....but, you get the idea....

WOW Finnaly!



The White Tiger prowls in the South Coast of Californian Malls.....while I was searching for the perfect dress...all we (Drew and I managed to do was scope out the hot girls working at BEBE) this was last March.



Lovely crags in So.California, while doing Recon. for ACSD's guide book last spring. The book it self ended taking MUCH longer than anyone thought it would, except for perhaps Jeff. Thanks again Drew for the home away from home, and mel. too....aka CUP CAKE!!



Then Loren came out from Utah to visit....we were ALL sick and tired of the winter by this point, anything to get away from the snow cold of late winter!

Not to mention the MUD! and all.....we had a couple great days in San Diego, and Torrey Pines, TRYING to fly. Got to go Tandem and fly over ritzy homes and the golf course. Get to listen to Hanglider pilots rants about the new paraglider pilots trying to kill them. Etc. It was funny. Ran on the beach and had lunch on the La Jolla Cliff side......Coast Toast




Then it was Off to Tampa! for my Nephews 10th birthday and Easter (yes april already)
So we had a party, and dyed easter eggs and enjoyed being family. The above pict was taken in the TPA airport, the SMOKERS CAGE! LOL take that air polluters!

Oh yeh, and SKYDIVED......which my sister tough was the poop....she loved it.....i thought that it was fun. tho I like Paragliding better, for now.



EASTERS RAINBOW! tasty egg salad
