Road Trips

I really love road trips, Ever read Jack Kerovac's "On The Road" ? I used to do tours with the Grateful Dead, plus the epic climbing trips around the world too. I scanned in some photos from some of my various trips if you'd like to see what I do for fun.

CAC Summer 1979 Trip: A long trip all the way across the country that took months...
IMSAR Adirondacks Winter Trip: This was a week and and half trip to the Adirondacks on Upstate New York. It hit a high of -5F that whole trip, and we were camping...

1998 Winter Trip to the Scotish Highlands: A short, fast, but intense trip to the Northen Corries in the Highlands of Scotland. I got to see what Scotish winter climbing is really about.
1999 Summer Trip to the Italian Dolomites: A short, fast, but intense trip to the Eastern Dolomites to climb in the Stella Gruppa. I discovered in June, everthing is closed in the mountain towns...
IMSAR 1999 Winter Trip: This was 10 days of total fun climbing all across Colorado. Due to avalanche danger and bad weather, this trip turned into a climbing trip with *alot* of driving every night. We went to Ouray, Red Mountain Pass, Camp Bird Rd, Silverton/Eureka, Cascade Canyon, Telluride,Ames, Lake City, Wolf Creek, Rocky Mt. National Park, and Roosevelt National Forest, Lincoln Falls, Vail, and Boulder!
Various climbing trips in Colorado: Here's another page with a collection of ice/rock/moutaineering areas here in Colorado. This roughly covers places like Rocky Mountain National Park, Indian Peaks Wilderness, and Rosevelt/Pike/Arapahoe National Forests.
Seneca Rocks: This is one of my favorite climbing areas. I spent much time living on Roy Gap Rd and climbing there in the 1970's and early eighties.
On Tour with the Grateful Dead: Ah, I really loved the time I did tours with the Grateful Dead. Those were some of the best times of my life. Here's a collection of pictures from a variety of tours from 1978-1995.
Rainbow Gatherings: Of course I can't forget all the the great time I've spent at Rainbow Gatherings over the years. This link goes to the graphics page on the "Unofficial Rainbow Family" web site. Not all, but many of the pictures are mine. These are a good sample of those times and experiences.
Cody, Wyoming 2002: A relaxing trip... 10 hours of quiet, low traffic driving trough Wyoming, camping where we seldom saw anyone, and climbing when we were the only ones in the South Fork Vally. To bad there wasn't much ice though.
Ouray 2002: This is a short trip I made to Ouray with my 15 year old son. (now 24)

Spain 2008: In the Fall of 2008, I went to Malanga, Spain to speak at Open Source World. There was this amazing castle on the city from the 11th century, plus additional ruins of a Roman theater. These are just the fun pictures of the castle.
Tasmania 2009: In the winter of 2009, I went to Tasmania to speak at several conferences, including Linux Conf AU. After the conference I took off around with two people I met at the conference for a week of treking, finally toppd by climbing the tallest mountain on the island, Cradle Mt.
