In case any of you who are not working on this project stumble across this....i am working on a topo book for developing climbing areas.....and this was a good way to get it to everyone simple like.

Corté Madera



So above is the missing Crag, Would be awesome, and prolly more accurate if you just printed it out and drew on it rater than me attempting to make sense of 3 different perspectives on bad black and white photo copies taken from other angles. Just a thought. It is as much as I can photo wise of that area, infact I linked together and photo shopped this image from 3 others to make this much of it.


If you click on the below image, it should get bigger so you can see itin full detail...

Not Füd

Sooooo......I am Still here, In San Diego.....yep, not in UT. But I am heading back soon. But while I am here I have been taking advantage of the locals....ha ha ha.


So I am finding out, slowly that I don't hate kids......i only hate kids that are annoying. Fortunatly......i adore Mary-Anne.....My friend Jenns' kid-o who was born last July. Summer bebby.....she and Jenn are heading out to Mississippi...sad



Her housemate however was tossing this AWESOME bag.....I was inclined to get into it and do a little dance. good thing drew was about to get a couple of shots of it...



BTW.....the splinters in my mouth are worth it for the tasty juice from the sugar cane that I picked up at Ranch 99.....the local HUGE asian Market.

The Black Market, Ja Lolla

So I am on a Quest, for my beloved KT. She's getting married. And I need a dress. The guidelines are simple.....black, new black, between knee and calve length. That is about it.



So Drew and I were in La Jolla, CA. and decided to hit The BLACK Market/The WHITE House Since they only carry black and white things......It went well....



I am a speed shopper. By nature, get in, get out. So we came in....told the sales ladies what we needed and my size and just rampaged through the styles.



I didn't find anything I was in love with. But I did discover what looked good on me that I didn't think would.



I also learneed an important lesson......use loaner heels.....The help the dress shopping. It's crazy. The dress wears much better w/ heels normally than w/out.



I know, I know.....KT you prolly knew this along time ago....and you too sis. But I only just learned it.



So....a pile of dresses later, this is what I went through, and these hangers are only about 1/2 of what I had in the room w/ me. I grabbed some other colors to try styles.....but you know....I can only post the black ones. So this i for KT.

I like this last dress the best. It is also the 2nd dress posted......

Sandy Eggo....where is it not 17 Degrees



(Me: Point Loma, pier. Just ate some "Squaw Candy" and smoked Ahi with Drew.)

Well, looks like I am back in San Diego.......serious. But this time it is for work.
Looks like it's not so bad. I flew in Thursday, to 80 degree sunny palm tree land of surf and sun, from 17 degree Draper UT of snow and Ice. I had no reason to stay in utah, really. The Snow fort had melted, the air was cold. Not a lot of flying for me either. Plus the people I spend time most with left for France on Thursday also.

So here I am, and loving it. I know why i left, but I also remember why I moved here last February. Serious, you can't beat the fresh fruit and smell of orange blossoms and warm winter. Avocados and fish. miles of warm non-icy bike riding, and not having to sit on the trainer. watching movies. Not that I don't love that.

I am planning on being here most of the month of Feb. That is the plan anyway. Working on a project, going to meetings. Getting things right.




Me at a meeting, hiking into Eagel Peak, to get familiar with the peak and the routes. It was a beautiful. Lovely, warm and fun. Watched the birds thermal and soar, not a cloud in the big beautiful sky. It was a 45 min hike in and a few hours climbing. Then 45 min hike out.....it was a nice hike. Really lovely, the rear of the hike was taken up by a Pug named GUSTAVE and a blind OLD dog names ZIPPY....HA. awesome.

Next meeting will be Corte Madera....Sometime this week.

Chapter 17: Paragliding



I'm still here.....so this is my, in October, trying out wing number 9. I was trying to find a good wing for me to buy. I couldn't afford a new wing. So I was trying all of the used student wings. more and more.....most people dont fly more than 5 wings in their whole flying carear. and by a month and a half. I had tried ten. I even drove all the way tp San Francisco to look at one around haloween. I did find one. and no the one I was expecting.

The Ozone Geo, that was the wing that I wanted. An extra Small.....no one had a used one. I was in San Fran to look at a Hook, and a Golden. not wings I was too intrested in, but begers cant be choosers. . . . and I was broke.

But while I was in SF I met some one who had a XS Geo......cash in hand I bought it. I was a happy girl.



So this is me, in warmer times.....new wing, and new harness.....ready to go out and float on the breeze. Happy I am.
