High Desert Hijinks

Alexander David has joined our small family here on the High Desert. Alex joined us Sunday February 19 and we are most excited at his arrival, as well as a bit anxious for the changes coming our way. You are invited to come and check out our blog whenever you like to see what we are up to, view photos and witness the hijinks about to ensue here in our little home on the High Desert. Thanks!!!

2006 Pole-Pedal-Paddle; Bend, Oregon
















Here is the 2006 Pole Pedal Paddle Team called Hitting the Wall! It consists of starting halfway up Mt Bachelor, downhill skiing to the base, then xc skiing 5 miles, biking 22 miles to Bend, running 5 miles, then paddling 1.5 miles in the Deschutes river then sprinting .25 miles to the finish. I did the xc ski and the "sprint" legs. The sprint was more like a fast jog as my legs were worn out from the xc ski. The people in the photo are Shaun, Sheila, Maple, Amy, and Rolland. I had a blast and we did not come in last! Julie, Alex and Grandma Q cheered me on at the end
