Yesterday I climbed Sawtell Peak on my mountain bike, which overlooks Henry’s Lake. I started at an elevation of 6400′ and climbed to the peak which is at 9900′! This 10 mile uphill climb started out peaceful and gradual, but when I got to the last 3 miles, the pitch became unbearably steep! It felt like I was trying to ride up a staircase after someone had punched me in the stomach! If you are up for some punishment I highly recommend this 3500′ climb. Or you can cheat and look at the panorama I took:

I’m back again at the base of Tamarack Resort at Lake Cascade. I can’t seem to get enough of this place. This is the 3rd time I’ve been up here in less than two weeks. This time I’m staying for the weekend to do more mountain biking, swimming, and possibly boating – I’m curious to see how the dogs will do on a pontoon boat in the middle of the lake. :-p

I’m camping at the Poison Creek Campground and the guy camping next to me, came out to say hello:

And as I say hello to one new face, I have to say goodbye to some familiar faces… (more…)

✓ see some moose (too dark for a picture)
✓ see a bald eagle (forgot my camera)
✓ watch a spider spin a web (the spider took over an hour to do it)
✓ jump my mountain bike over a boulder (i don’t know how i could have taken that picture)
✓ take a picture that would remind me of Ansel Adams.

I’ve officially started camping out in line to get into Burning Man 2008! Its July 14 and I am proud to say I am the first in line! I really thought I was going to not make it this year, but it turns out I made it! I was really worried about being 10th or later in line. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not gotten here now. Freaking out is probably what would have happened!
