One of the accomplishment in 2009 of which I’m most proud is seeing both the highest and lowest points in the contiguous 48 states.
The week following Christmas I visited the Badwater Basin in Death Valley, which is 282 ft below sea level. In July I summited Mt. Whitney, which is the highest summit in the contiguous United States with an elevation [...]
My Mount Whitney Trip is quickly approaching. I leave tomorrow morning for a 4-day trek up the 14,496 foot mountain. Wish me luck and say a prayer.

A couple weeks ago I attended a conference up in Oxnard, CA at the Embassy Suites Hotel Mandalay Beach Resort. During that conference I enjoyed a little side trip to one of the Channel Islands. It was awesome. Check out my pictures from Santa Cruz Island below.

Last weekend the wife and I went on a retreat with our church. Here’s a picture of us in the snow at Big Bear.
Our fourth and final day wasn’t any less ambitious than the three previous days. We started out early by packing up our belongings and leaving them with the bellboy at our hotel. We then headed to the Empire State Building where we were treated to a beautiful view of the city. From [...]
