Where did September go?!

Well, it has been quite a while. I guess I can sum up September as another good month of getting around. I spent 15 of 30 days gone on the road. 10 of which were on a rode trip out to Oregon with Pam to visit her brother. I had 15 days on the bike, only one day moto, 2 days hiking, and 3 days of work. Here are just a few pics to sum it up.

Sold the Honda.
Sold the trailer.
House I am currently working on painting the exterior of.
Hanging Lake in Glenwood Springs. Pretty cool hike just off of I-70. These falls come down into a pond in the middle of a huge canyon. You can see fish all over.
Walking out on a down tree on the lake.
Falls in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon.
Free ride stunts and trails at Black Rock in Oregon. Pretty fun stuff, but most of it was too big for my XC bike.
Sweet step up.
Tree too big to bunny hop on Mary's Peak outside Corvallis, OR. We also road in Bend, OR. We only had one evening there, but it was a fun trail that was cut short by sunset. But I didn't get any good pictures there.
Fat tree's. Skinny kids.
Pam wins the race at the Pacific Coast.
Pam's nephew, Josiah, showing off his new tricks while wearing blackberries on his face.
Bishop's Castle outside Colorado City. Hand build by one man over the past 40 years. It is quite the place to see. The sweetest part is that here I think he put safety third. Definitely no codes that he has to follow here.
BBQ!!
Steve, Melissa, and Banana in Fruita, CO.
Joe's Ridge.
High above Steve's loop. That loop you see below on the cliff line was a lot of fun. Good trials all over here.


Rainbow Trail in Grand Junction. There is lots of slick rock on this trail. I took a good tumble head of heals down a good steep rock face that I was trying to traverse. My bike came tumbling behind and ended up on my head. I wish I had a picture of that one.

That is a pretty good summary of my September. October may be a little slower with the cooler weather moving in. Plus, I have a few jobs to work on. Finish the paining, build a barn and chicken coop, kitchen remodel, and pour a back patio. I keep you posted.
