In our work, we see its effects nearly every day. Also, COVID-19 effects everybody despite it's obvious impact on our world's most vulnerable -- domestic violence and mental health issues are at an all-time high irregardless of income level. <div><br /></div><div>Here's why. Because COVID-19 magnifies what's broken within us. </div><div><br /></div><div>Whatever was broken in you before covid, is front and center now. For example, were you lonely before covid? ....now you might feel isolated. Were you a workaholic before covid? ....Now you might feel burnt out. Were you physically unhealthy before covid? Now you're worried about being very susceptible to the virus. COVID-19 magnifies what's broken within us. </div><div><br /></div><div>One of the habits we have cultivated as a family for the last 15 years is a weekly saunter (<i>to walk in a slow, relaxed manner, without hurry or effort</i>) in the mountains. One (of many) reasons we value its importance is because we know that this weekly act of worship is healing something broken within us. We truly believe the cumulative effect of years of prayerfully walking in beautiful places have cultivated our renewal. </div><div><br /></div><div>COVID-19 magnifies what's broken within us but prayerfully walking heals our wounds.</div><div><br /></div><div>So today....as so many days before, we walked. We walked slowly, prayerfully, joyfully....stopping to see beauty and proclaim it's goodness in front of our children. We participated in the healing God IS doing in each of our lives during these difficult times. </div><div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O0gkkYNfFWc/X7xcUjvwA7I/AAAAAAAAJWI/HqxspE2E76EyuCv31ZF7XsjSZDI9gJLNQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_9226.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O0gkkYNfFWc/X7xcUjvwA7I/AAAAAAAAJWI/HqxspE2E76EyuCv31ZF7XsjSZDI9gJLNQCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/IMG_9226.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FMZslYCktT4/X7xcUvTigDI/AAAAAAAAJWE/_VvAyiG7pok7jlC6InSoq1jwaRK4VkzSgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_9232.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FMZslYCktT4/X7xcUvTigDI/AAAAAAAAJWE/_VvAyiG7pok7jlC6InSoq1jwaRK4VkzSgCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/IMG_9232.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V5Y8kyMGBg4/X7xcVO3kKiI/AAAAAAAAJWM/RxvLAqOqxWMbdFsN_YrTfzd3VDHaC8_kQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_9240.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V5Y8kyMGBg4/X7xcVO3kKiI/AAAAAAAAJWM/RxvLAqOqxWMbdFsN_YrTfzd3VDHaC8_kQCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/IMG_9240.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are good days.</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/53/CA33AC2FD823B5D211C14651F37BD9AD.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0px;" /></a>

Running northwest to southeast for 100 miles, over 40 of its peaks reach 13,000+ feet into the heavens. Most of it is designated as “wilderness” and therefore federally protected from development and human impact. This makes the Wind River Range one of the largest road-free areas in the USA. It’s truly a wild place, and you feel that as you walk through it’s remote landscape. It’s the place of possibility. Climbers wonder if they can summit its highest peaks and steepest granite walls. Hikers wonder if they have the endurance to venture deep into its back country to destinations that will require many miles on foot. Backpackers wonder if they can endure the extreme & temperamental weather the Wind River produces. Even in its history, it seems that it has always been a place of possibility for human beings. Indigenous peoples lived in this incredible landscape 9,000 years ago. The Shoshone people lived at 10,000 feet elevation for pinenut harvesting each year. For them, this landscape may have meant the possibility of survival. Much later in the early 1800’s when Europeans visited here, they surveyed the landscape as a way to mark the continental divide and find a way to cross through it. Their expedition became an important part of the Oregon Trail. For these early explorers this range may have meant the possibility of travel. </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">For our family, the Wind River Range has also been a place of possibility. We didn’t know coming into this trip if it was possible to actually backpack with a four, six, eight, and ten-year-old. We also didn’t know if it was possible for us to really access the Wind River because of what it requires to travel deep into its alpine basins. Being here has taught us that what’s possible is contingent on passion. Possibility is passion with legs. Our family has a passion for pursuing beauty in creation. It’s not enough for us to see it in a painting or on a TV screen. We want to experience it by becoming a part of the landscape - whether by climbing up onto its “shoulders” or hiking and backpacking into its “heart”, we move our bodies in choreographed unison as a way to connect to beautiful places and one another. It’s the possibility of connectivity and it’s the passion for beauty which moves our family’s 12 legs.</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">Our third backpacking trip took us to Island Lake and the Titcomb Basin. It required 33 miles of effort and 4,400 feet of elevation gain. For five days we enjoyed this part of the Wind River Range. It was truly our best backpacking trip to date. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Those five days included three hiking days and two “off days.” The kids all hiked really well and enjoyed the experience. The kids also learned what’s possible! </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><br></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px;

Our adventures aren’t just endless hiking and effort. There is a lot of “down time”. In fact, it’s what happens when we aren’t hiking that we remember the most. One of the reasons we love hiking and camping so much is because of the way it weaves our family members together. It cultivates laughter, shared experiences, conversation, mutual support, admiring beauty, trying new things, gratitude, fun, and worship.<div><br></div><div>Here’s what “down time” looks like when we are on an adventure:</div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_a173_7159_7687_6a3" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/ds7dGQCaIjrcthSyq1WQdTqPls0I3eflw5WDWcc5CPs-ykW86H__9dxBdW2hkrI" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_9a3b_6ddc_5ce5_27aa" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/nbRqc8bve4wIDv8r7vS1Yb8R7phGqYRxkY1GGqjuESY_zSRh3enq1I2bO0qOVPA" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_2399_17d4_fe3e_9183" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ob8EdYCNBGGFZMK14Brj1lFwrRVwYnFXEi8LEr9UuZSHodGzY2a5rLTAuYhxpFY" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_b9ac_6237_8740_2178" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/JqGxDruRrUeLlocMveE9w5GA8g1OC3BaeosMkf8IgPRrcLlDm1Ctc053UdW2gpA" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_825e_2ba5_fd8c_43c" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Xv57iixdYfXJrwniDZaJlxy0e4kyLFdXktYKN9bsJ-WndFMBPkRngyHDjTY7ZOM" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_b667_65e8_1e1e_d4e7" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nlmq7kKH8RWnrSsUwqTkfKciQP8YXznywVfa2WSsAy5C7hckSKalcgP4gH10lKw" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_e312_9ca_3da4_78ff" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/2wyu1gwe2tZfgIRTl6fD2JALVU52-PsXrS8e37FmKr8K4eQHfaLbYNPoD9bWtWc" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_13ad_d4ce_f84d_e7fd" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/dfLtIYcUvJYlT7upsG1mCj6h5IqPXVfQ135-25DI9olSIhgRKYGA0IRTupIBsuo" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_6f45_6784_ec32_1b57" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/3-wWPsUr0CphA85DUrmddWMlLtvLkYVS2XsM_ePe-A5CbxEgzUJ5yteiVGA7wis" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_6518_2d53_cb5b_1f88" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-kKC9YbrFKUEEXPpUTwAf_eoudZSuoL3-khXrXWjAbBz4AzcZKn6u3Ec9PC6RuM" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br>These are good days </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344887115472966989.post-88365198463653467442020-07-21T12:20:00.001-07:002020-07-21T12:22:38.834-07:00Our Alpine Adventure <p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">We have learned that whether in life or leisure, if something is truly an adventure, there are lessons to be learned. Openness to learning new things is an essential quality for trying new things. There were things we knew going into this trip that helped us plan - things like, our kids can day-hike 13 miles with 2,500 feet of elevation gain (yes, even our 4-year old Joel). But we didn’t know what it would mean for them to carry packs and hike day after day for four days in a row. We knew that they felt very comfortable in mountain environments, but we didn’t know whether they would feel as comfortable in those environments after many consecutive days. We knew how much food they would typically eat on a day-hike, but would they complain about that food after multiple days? These were just some of the unanswered questions we carried into the Wind River. Here are the things we learned from our first backpacking trip into the Green River which helped us adjust for our second backpacking trip in the southern end of the Wind River. </span></p><ol class="ol1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><li class="li1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;"><span class="s1">6-8 miles per day is more comfortable mileage when our kids are carrying packs. </span></li><li class="li1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;"><span class="s1">We don’t need as much food as we originally planned. Also, ditch the power bars and give them snickers bars (it’s basically the same thing, right?)</span></li><li class="li1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;"><span class="s1">Setting up & tearing down camp every day is a special category of hell when you have 2 kids under 6.</span></li></ol><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">We adjusted our second 4-day trip which would consist of 27 miles and nearly 5,000ft of elevation gain. We visited Cirque <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>of the Towers and the spectacular high alpine lakes like Big Sandy Lake, Clear Lake, Deep Lake, and Temple Lake. This time we backpacked in and set-up basecamp at Big Sandy Lake and from there did day-hikes each day. This was a much more relaxed itinerary which afforded lots of time to jump in lakes, hang-out, and play games like Uno and Apples to Apples. We all LOVED IT. </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">This is one of the most amazing trips we have ever done! The Cirque of the Towers was stunning, but it really was the high Alpine Lakes which captured our hearts. The combination of massive granite cirques rising out of beautiful crystal blue lakes was something truly to behold. We found ourselves in a place of deep worship and thankfulness for a God who created a beautiful world specifically to point our attention to His character. </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><br></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">On route to Big Sandy Lake</p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"></span><br></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"></span><img id="id_ed11_88f0_a551_1684" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/oHBL9x4RdDqaQ0AQCFerb-5EP-7jP65hY7sRj7Vvp01wE25lP0HZvDdeKgr_zC8" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_748c_61ac_8c23_f0d1" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/vwyuYsR8eFQq9U7UP_ThwEOaIZLzZDaUgLRRsOAa9CoB_w9tD4UdzJr280QEo9Y" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br>On route to Cirque of the Towers<br><br><img id="id_5710_fb87_ddba_e89c" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/gPCjs6yDI7HnluhbOCOBT5cIud-TVPbbl6uFkgWt9Cja5icxzWZPiZEBZSzM3Wk" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_5586_e620_5dce_9d8d" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/daChJj4K-UG1MuqhCTcMW8GGV-eKA2Jd7ffGPN_o3IIjMR1ZBW4Bvls8ciIFGz8" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_67d1_e032_8145_a1c9" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/jlYPniy8DXSieWdi6pPkW5KQlCPN2Iaa7TOo0Nfs4rC1HS7SqOd1eaOVRY6G_R4" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_91a7_901e_bc86_687f" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/vcNqDOTTswIuOFf400061SMAW-7EOQ3W1TKc02syvghIV2_GzzJjwAjt7L6ptfs" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_1237_1f7e_37e6_35ad" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/rB5iSTHZx4ouhRdfVT4T_w9jocIk2WKP4IRnMuIoq5qXvzkQyeRc9tpWCBdV0g4" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_4f79_1547_3165_ca75" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/kxmdtMQT2cQCy-TH8aeCzjR6arVvegivkQHEdZy7q_nK1xMwd5WhvQxjK96IILU" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_ed_958c_88b0_6002" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/IKbiULv9FC2DayP85McFv7O3T6H2QrYCnvBYHX1RxY8_skzFwXP2sjVVTWpjICI" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_78a_3bc3_5a68_cd54" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/x6_0EKtL8-uRZnW9x5lqQUIRYfvWIz9F-08y2isUz3BbrQDkVgOP1BdBz3cWNAE" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br>On route to Center Lake, Deep Lake, Temple Lake<br><br><img id="id_2aae_e426_64f1_5e9f" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/7_aC1whrl9h9__TLPAg7oq-m3NIjpyp1EopcL53daNwsXtLl_H5cx2Z1vpb3_ME" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_9b66_6520_76f_1d25" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/JKRUgQ7GQtR-oSqyu0c4wPqDJEyrCF4aggckTtIdvVkoFD2SjqDiOuRNRX7bwmI" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_ac3a_edab_6e8e_e5d1" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/y661fYu87U7TsACpg8jLF6rXAJzIoBaOv8Ov0dcZ31VJjtV8Mvav4P1BJJYH48g" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_81cf_8d17_392c_45c9" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/V3llr1ASjuioIWg2vSIx5nR7ivrEoafRI_OuEq2zVmTfW1MlYxitr4Xm-NRghT8" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_d248_4f1_68af_1917" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/YAVychZiij8qtPYDnRl2tfC_KI1AHkP_76KelVj45--4-q3uCPv5OR2m-gRK6lU" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_3a43_3d58_832c_f766" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-MoRgVQNf34uTRKnKi607Vhw5wksmfDzRdXYhvZf0xEA1MIVHeaDz8bttSMi8mE" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_b471_91a0_92fd_d3a2" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/rayERJUWSQyabeoTYDobJLnMrPu6fJOHAuiSkOiQUMh0qL0mlu7WcSWmiearMPI" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_8d7f_d9b5_2c59_db6a" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/d9lpI1pS4oTBs3_PSOIGWen5IDYNkY7Nl831UIfir6M3Av80xnkouc88VOhlfks" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br>While at 10,800ft, a thunderstorm rolled in and we had to descend QUICKLY off the high mountain pass!

We had very few certainties when we began this big adventure. Will the kids enjoying backpacking? Would we enjoy trail life for days on end? Could we do this safely with large margins for error? Would we be well fed? You might think that a family like ours would feel more certain about an adventure like this. After all, we do hike every single week with the kids and for years we have taken off for a month of hiking and camping since they were babies. Our kids spend more time in tents and on trails than many will their entire lives. For us, playing in the mountains aren’t just our leisure, they are our lifestyle — and yet none of this experience felt like it could prepare us for the uncertainty of one month on the trail backpacking through the extremely WILD wind river. But I suppose, that’s the definition of what an adventure is... putting your questions into your backpack and hitting the trail! </span></font></span></p>

The reason we chose to go to the Wind River was because of a YouTube channel which documented the story of a few guys as they traveled through this wild and remote landscape. We watched their four part series on YouTube as a family and decided that we were so inspired we had to go check it out ourselves! A friend of Joe’s even bought Joe a hat from the YouTube creators. Their channel is called “Mediocre Amateurs.” Well here’s the crazy part: while we were in a particularly long slog in a more remote section of trail we happened to come across them! They were in the middle of a 36 mile journey themselves! They are literally the reason we came to the Wind River and we happened to meet them on the trail — us from California and them from Utah! We reflected a lot about why God would have provided for this simple joy. This scripture comes to mind: “What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?” We think God may have provided this for us out of the simple truth that He thinks that this experience would make us smile — He was caring for us. </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span><span style="text-align: left; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1zT80HuevcTDQS7gO8SvspSEsDEweC2Po" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1zT80HuevcTDQS7gO8SvspSEsDEweC2Po" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></span></font></span></p>

I remember when we had to learn all of that nearly 15 years ago. Now with 4 small kids (ages 10, 8, 6, 4), backpacking has become even more complicated. We are getting ready to spend a month in <a href="https://www.visitpinedale.org/explore/mountain-ranges/wind-river-mountain-range" target="_blank">Wind River, Wyoming</a> backpacking with the kids. The food is prepped, the bags are packed, and the car is fueled up.

We are very planned people. Our calendar is full, weeks and months in advance. We live by a calendar! And yet, there is this category in our life which is unplanned and spontaneous — The mountains. Sometimes we don’t even know where we are going when we start driving. Our kids are so used to it now after all these years, sometimes they don’t even ask where we are going. They just pack their day-hiking kits, and put their hiking boots and clothes stacked neatly beside their bed and pile into the car whenever we decide to leave in the morning. In the last few weeks we have visited new locations like panorama point in Sequoia National Park, Jackass Lakes in the Sierra national Forrest, and a cool spot near Fish Camp just south of Yosemite. All of these were impromptu trips, squeezed into a half a day during a busy week. But like all adventures, we’ve learned that the destination is never as important as the journey. The time in the car, the time on the trail, and not really knowing where we’re going or how long we’ll hike, is always part of the joy we experience.</div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1o1bKSo65CeDRaL-Di9BtpfmebT25-I5H" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1o1bKSo65CeDRaL-Di9BtpfmebT25-I5H" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1VXQdPSzupMstZQ3quXhU_DL_WHc3Yd0r" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1VXQdPSzupMstZQ3quXhU_DL_WHc3Yd0r" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1-gznmvf9ewvuNw-JwMk-_xaxFFc1y8o6" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1-gznmvf9ewvuNw-JwMk-_xaxFFc1y8o6" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Fish Camp ^^</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1pKyqApwge034SnIKCFvq0w4jxqNRwBnc" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1pKyqApwge034SnIKCFvq0w4jxqNRwBnc" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1BrS37SBK6OOKgZsrd30nn-o4btKMUlIb" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1BrS37SBK6OOKgZsrd30nn-o4btKMUlIb" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Jackass Lake</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1b7K_8DzTeH_Qwlcb3-fzkDXbs1i4iSc9" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1b7K_8DzTeH_Qwlcb3-fzkDXbs1i4iSc9" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1HrKgo4EtihTpZpl4cSQMg6h4903dNxFV" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1HrKgo4EtihTpZpl4cSQMg6h4903dNxFV" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1j_n4HyWdvB_S3SJ4TiMP0bVQAch5jIfn" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1j_n4HyWdvB_S3SJ4TiMP0bVQAch5jIfn" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1CF5RqAQCl7bCmSZVz0o-BnZNPgRsskT_" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1CF5RqAQCl7bCmSZVz0o-BnZNPgRsskT_" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Panorama Point ^^ </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">These are good days </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344887115472966989.post-51652829630204673702020-06-20T20:30:00.000-07:002020-06-20T20:30:10.439-07:00They Hiked How Far???<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Elizabeth (10) Josiah (8) Noah (6) and Joel (4) hiked 13.6 miles and ascended 2800ft of elevation at over 8500ft altitude for 6.5 hours.

What a beautiful place! Bald mountain was our destination and it is definitely a place we will return to. We are so amazed at the lessons we learn in the mountains. On this trip we were not prepared for the snow conditions and hours of postholing. Wet socks led to cold feet and it killed our morale. On the summit we talked about how bad conditions <span style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; display: inline !important;"> can change your attitude and kill enjoyment. We decided that there are no such things as bad conditions in the mountains, just bad attitudes. An amazing lesson on an amazing day! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1fchkWbGZ4DQg_7ggOacPNbSIKOeXSuPP" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1fchkWbGZ4DQg_7ggOacPNbSIKOeXSuPP" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1rp5usqXUepHRbvqr3ls0LIEq10qtEIgP" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1rp5usqXUepHRbvqr3ls0LIEq10qtEIgP" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1GJvdIHPXyPmIgPqN_mpWNwupWJ4I2jo2" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1GJvdIHPXyPmIgPqN_mpWNwupWJ4I2jo2" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1ceF3yxG2mpJnXOgJRPuyj-V5hrZo1JyT" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1ceF3yxG2mpJnXOgJRPuyj-V5hrZo1JyT" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1E-JynnYJGQvRgOMV5qZyvfCQa093eR9K" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1E-JynnYJGQvRgOMV5qZyvfCQa093eR9K" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1MjXLVbGD10d0UUISrISPZUuUhbFyKUtU" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1MjXLVbGD10d0UUISrISPZUuUhbFyKUtU" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1JARkg8Wc7scbtcVzBRHUGitenADQGR20" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1JARkg8Wc7scbtcVzBRHUGitenADQGR20" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Ssw6MEfYH3Mo_984O6reS1jm5_QJ-9zB" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Ssw6MEfYH3Mo_984O6reS1jm5_QJ-9zB" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1aezQyqD_gXNqDMI5ABoxQGcLI9sa9biq" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1aezQyqD_gXNqDMI5ABoxQGcLI9sa9biq" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">These are good days</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344887115472966989.post-79968332489036598462020-06-07T14:57:00.001-07:002020-06-07T14:57:44.874-07:00Weekly Wanderings <div style="text-align: left;">

While during school, this often involves picking the kids up and then heading to the hills. We are fortunate to have a place called Millerton lake within 30-45 minutes of our home, giving us the opportunity to find adventure as a family. When the weather is cool, we enjoy heading up a Pincushion Peak which is a small summit giving you 1000 feet of elevation gain over a 1 mile stretch. It really isn’t about the route, or the elevation gain, or even the exercise as much as it is about fostering a particular mindset for our kids. It’s a mindset which looks for beauty, is persistent in moving forward, is lighthearted, and open to learning lessons that sometimes only the mountains can teach. We enjoy heading up to the hills with our housemate Dave and our kids in tow. Our kids rarely complain anymore about “long drives” or exclaim, “we are going to the mountains again?!!” They have quite literally done this every week of their lives with brief exceptions. John Muir said, “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.” He was right....except he could have said “give strength to FAMILIES, to body and souls alike” — to that we’d say “amen”!</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></font></span></p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1bB7Igjk6REw_Hr6Xb8ch-IjR0wecgGyM" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1bB7Igjk6REw_Hr6Xb8ch-IjR0wecgGyM" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1ZOiedJHTs9jNwFlNnZRvuB5I4V2K15px" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1ZOiedJHTs9jNwFlNnZRvuB5I4V2K15px" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1jXj4YGp8nooFPq840usG5zlO2_hKn7kQ" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1jXj4YGp8nooFPq840usG5zlO2_hKn7kQ" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1JColB_-PZ217MnIYlkoh05L-pDmypovy" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1JColB_-PZ217MnIYlkoh05L-pDmypovy" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1BmePNfmN2gw6QYq1WmMjoH56Pd9biOXo" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1BmePNfmN2gw6QYq1WmMjoH56Pd9biOXo" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=13btKrj2PJflIv9NQMTCrjOkh7gZxjwpx" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=13btKrj2PJflIv9NQMTCrjOkh7gZxjwpx" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1cDWlkr7JBJSITE-XirGycAK8vYXzt-Qv" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1cDWlkr7JBJSITE-XirGycAK8vYXzt-Qv" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">These are good days </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344887115472966989.post-9096506138069111982020-06-03T18:32:00.001-07:002020-06-03T18:32:22.404-07:00Focusing on health January was filled a real sense of purpose and direction for our family. We went to the mountains each weekend, got back to the gym, started eating Keto, welcomed Dave into our family, and went to Yosemite. These are all things that foster health in our lives.

On one particular week, Josiah and I went on a 12 mile run. Josiah biked while I ran. I really "bonked" due to the heat and lack of nutrition, and Josiah was nothing but encouraging and my constant cheerleader! He kept yelling, "<i>good job, Daddy! Keep fighting.</i>" I don't think I would have continued running without him! </div>

On another occasion we went with some great friends to Yosemite for a day of sitting under trees, playing with a soccer ball, drinking coffee, and walking along trails. When we go to Yosemite, we don't always need to hammer it an do big things. Sometimes the best way to explore a place is to slow down and sit for long periods of time and pay attention to everything that you see!</div>

During another week we went hiking along a trail through a forest filled with Sequoia trees. It's an amazing trail that winds itself through dozens of majestic old growth trees. Sometimes walking slowly and taking time to touch every tree is all we need to experience the presence of God.</div>

In another week our family went on a hike up to Mitchell Peak in the Jennie Lakes Wilderness. It gains 2000ft and while Joe hammered 8 miles of trail running, Heidi hiked with the kids only to be reunited at the summit. </div>

Not every week is an adventure in the mountains. This was the first day of school at Jackson Elementary. Every new school year we always sing at the top of our lungs in the living room before school, "<i>First day of school, first day of school, everybody is cool on the first day of school!</i>" Starting school always feels like an adventure!</div>

...speaking of family. In a following week we spent the day hiking with Jameson and Sarah and our wonderful nieces in Sequoia National Park. Most of the time was spent laughing, talking about life, talking about faith, and admiring all that God has created. These are some of our favorite memories as a family -- spending time with our extended family in wild places.</div>

In another week, we spent the weekend with some great friends at Courtright Reservoir. Courtright is at 8200ft elevation and located in one of the most superb geological areas of California. Bare granite domes rise from the shores and above the deep canyon cut by Helms Creek located at the north end of the lake. Ice Age glaciers sculpted the mountain peaks, slopes and valleys giving them their unique shape. We love it there. Our time with our friends included fireside chats, great food, axe chopping competitions, and playing games. It was wonderful.</div>

Sometimes though, it's the simple adventures which stand out. On this occasion while Heidi and Josiah did a 10 mile trail run, I took the kids on a long and slow walk on a beautiful trail. We talked a lot about what it means to set goals and not stop until the job was done. We are so proud of the kids God has entrusted us to love. It's a beautiful life! </div>

One of my favorite things to do is climb in Yosemite. What an amazing place to spend the day! On this particular adventure some former students of mine spent the day with me on Royal Arches -- a classic route up a beautiful wall in Yosemite. It is 15 pitches and 2000 feet of climbing which makes for a long day of climbing (and rappelling).</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In August I traveled to Canada to uphold a tradition with Jay and Trevor - running the Squamish 50. Our course was 23km through a beautiful landscape over technical terrain with loads of elevation and descent. It's REALLY fun. I got up a few days early to spend time with the Ewings and camp with the boys. </div>

That tradition has continued and over this last summer, we spent time as a family loving on our extended family in what has become more of like a spiritual retreat and weekend of renewal.<br />
<br />
Our time together involves: kayaking, exercising, family devotionals, art reflections, wine, great food, fellowship, dessert, games, art projects, poetry readings, worshiping, jamming on musical instruments, and going on walks.<br />

Climbing is fun....but doing it with your brother is AMAZING! He's a knowledgeable climber -- safe, calculated, adventurous, and not afraid to "go for it". He's a great partner to have in the mountains! </div>

We loved exploring this wonderful place! <br /><br />We could tell you about MANY adventures came out of a trip that began at 2:30am on a Tuesday -- adventures filled with long drives, hiking, camping, crazy weather, exploring Jackson Hole amazingness (libraries, shops, coffee, galleries), and spending time as a family. But we'll let the pictures do the talking. <br /><br />....however, since people do ask us about some of the nitty-gritties of trips like this, questions like: "what do we eat?" and "what kind of a camping set-up do we have?"....we documented the first week of our trip here for those of you who are interested: <br /><br /><div>
We typically do not buy all of our food in advance. This year we brought just enough for the long drive -- it would be a pain to keep stuff cold for a couple weeks anyway. We only used the one small red cooler for cold stuff we already had at home (hummus, jam, broccoli, carrots). </div>
<div>
<br /><b>Tuesday, June 11</b> - Our trip started at 2:30am and we drove from Fresno to Victor, ID and stayed at Teton Valley Motel — a fantastic place to stay after a long day of driving. We brought cereal and 1L of almond milk to put in the motel fridge to eat on the way to our campsite the next morning.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday, June 12</b> - We left at 6:30am from Victor to Jenny Lake Campground. Arrived at 7:30am. We were 9th in line for a campsite and there were 18 sites available. Got #30, one of the best sites! (Thank you Jesus). $29/night for max 7 nights = $203. Set-up camp, then hiked from our campsite along Jenny Lake to Hidden Falls & Lower Inspiration Point - 2:40 moving time; 6.4 miles; 981’ elevation gain. Stopped back at the Jenny Lake ranger station and store for a few supplies (pasta sauce and travel coffee) and grabbed free junior ranger books for the kids. <br /><br />For Dinner we had: Pasta with sauce and broccoli and carrots for dinner. Leftover banana bread.<br /><br /><b>Thursday, June 13</b> - We decided to have a slow morning - we finished our cereal and almond milk. Drove to Colter Bay visitor center, watched Grand Teton National Park: Life on the Edge, stopped at visitor store. Drove to Jackson Hole - got groceries, picnic lunch at Phil Buex Park (bouldering!), Cowboy Coffee, then pizza dinner at Pinky G’s Pizzeria. Drove back to Campground via Moose-Wilson road that takes you by Teton Village. Lovely drive, and we prefer it over the more direct route from Jackson to Moose (there’s construction going on which has meant long delays).<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Friday, June 14</b> - cereal in the car. Drove to LSR Preserve; stopped at a pullout and saw a female moose on the way! Hiked around Phelps Lake vía Aspen Ridge, Valley Trail, Huckleberry Point, and Boulder Ridge - 9.31 miles, 1,247’, 4:02 moving time. Oldest three hiked the whole thing. Joel hiked 1 mile. Then drove to Teton Valley and grabbed a coffee and ice cream. Discovered that the Jackson Hole Tram will have free evening tram rides beginning June 24!<br /><br />Every time we hike together as a family, we do something called "awards". Awards are given when we identify Godly characteristics in our children on the trail. After a big hike, we sit in a circle and "hand out" awards by publicly recognizing those character traits and clapping in honor of that person. Here are the awards we handed out: E - leader; Josiah - caring about others (he would ask people on the trail questions); N - hard work; Joel - I tried; Daddy - suck it up (hurt ankle, no complaining); Mommy - carrying award (Joel most of the way)<br /><br />Dinner: Quesadillas; chips, salsa<br /><br /><b>Saturday, June 15</b> - We had a slow morning - pancakes with fresh blueberries and bananas and honey. Went to the Teton County Library and it happened to be their summer reading program kick-off event. Kids signed up and got to choose a free, new book. Got a free snack, played large-size Jenga in the back yard play area, and read books. Then had lunch at Phil Baux Park again and bouldered. Parked downtown and walked around the shops; grabbed a coffee at JH Roasters and went to Teton Gravity shop where they play free adventure movies in their back theater. Super cool and we watched “Wild Jackson Hole” about adventure skiing, surfing (in the snake river!), and mountain biking. Drove back to campsite late afternoon. <br /><br />Dinner: Curry chickpea w/ rice and naan and 1 whole canteloupe<br /><br /><b>Sunday, June 16</b> - *Father’s Day*<br /><br />Hearty Oatmeal for breakfast, then went to Cornerstone Community Church in JH. Afterwards went to Phil Baux Park, had leftover curry, sandwiches and apples. Then hiked up to the top of Snow King peak, which is the skill hill right at Phil Baux Park. 4 miles, 1,400’ elevation, 1:45 moving time. Noah hiked it like a champ, Joel ran the 2 miles downhill and loved it. Bouldered for a bit after getting back to the park, then went to Snake River Brewing Co for happy hour nachos and beer. Drove back to our campsite in the rain. We saw a prong horn deer about 10 feet away from us while walking to the bathroom. Joseph saw a black or grizzly bear on the backside of our campground by the road. <br /><br />**Awards: Joel - fast runner; Noah - Big Boy; Josiah - downhill runner; Elizabeth - persistent; Joseph - hard worker, uphill carrier; Heidi - keeping company, encourager</div>

What's the best way to celebrate a birthday? When our friends said, "Let's go to Moro Bay for the weekend" we didn't hesitate to say "of course!!!!" The weekend involved trail running for the ladies, surfing for the boys, plenty of cake and loads of smiles. </div>

We love the central coast. It has to be one of the most beautiful places in the world -- great weather, every plant seems to thrive there, beach life.....but more than anything, it's the people you're with that really infuses a place with meaning and beauty. </div>

Over the summer we spent some time at a spot we continue to return to just outside of Auberry, CA in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The Pa'san Ridge Trail is a 7 mile loop that ascends about 1500 feet of elevation and has great single track overlooking the San Joaquin River Gorge. </div>

Most of our time on the trail is spent telling epic stories, singing, asking "would you rather" questions, eating, and repeating some of our families mantras. Mantras like, "don't stop until the job is done", "find your mountain pace" and "use your mountain step."</div>
