Meathead road rage

Is it weird that moments ago Nate and I had a slight altercation with an enraged motorist. While pulling into the ihc hospital to visit new born nephews, we entered a quiet intersection where we continued to hang a left, not noticing the jeep that we may or may not have cut off.
The beige colored new model jeep continued to advance on us. Him tailing us what quite apparent. We continued driving. Once we turned, he laid on the horn and took off. One thing led to another, and Nate and I somehow got behind the meathead once again. He abruptly stopped, put the car and park, and waddled toward our car.
Before we move on any further, lets get you all a good mental picture of this individual. From the 20seconds it took him to waddle the 20 feet to our car, he looked to be about 5'5'', 190 lbs, 32-34 years of age, maybe something like this....minus the golf club....

Ill let the dialogue between us and him take over.
Meathead: "WHY DIDNT YOU STOP?"
N&C: "uhh that wasnt a stop sign"
Meathead: "So that just makes it ok?"
N&C: "well yeah, sorry?"

Meathead, feeling he accomplished his law laying, waddled back to his car. Nate then proceeds to give a mellow honk after he gets back in his car. Meathead was not down with that. He threw his rig in reverse and starts charging full speed at us. Nate throws our whip into reverse, throws a fat j turn, and we bail.

Question I asked myself after it was over: Why did we not have the camera rolling?
Moral of the story. Guys that drive jeeps like that are douche bags.

Should have waited

I randomly captured this frame in Colorado and it ended up making me laugh.

Some things just need to be done

How sick is our home

Quote of the day

"20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do by than the ones you did to. So throw off your bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Man Vs. Wild- Trail run gone LOST!

Yesterday we decided to sleep in through sunrise and get some well needed rest after a week of 5am's. We grabbed some breakfast burritos from the grocer and headed up to the Sunshine Mesa trailhead to start a trail run. We made our way through the dynamic and muddy mountain range not knowing exactly where the trail lead. We ran through the most beautiful spot in a high mountain valley filed with a trees, rocks, golden fields, and streams. I felt as if I were running through New Zealand on a red bull endurance challenge. The feeling was unreal! We finally reached a spot where the trail disappeared, and we were a long ways from the car. We decided to follow some animal trails through the brush which took us on the most wild and challenging run I have ever done. Hopping trees, streams, bushes, and pushing the limits. We finally found the main road, and enjoyed a 2 mile uphill run to the car. I have never pushed my body this hard before, and for some reason on this morning I felt like pushing all the limits. With my pounding chest, jello legs, and in complete exhaustion I made the final sprint to the car, and Adam and I shared the last half of the water bottle we had left over from breakfast. We gave each other a high five, and took off to grab some classic cokes and more water. We were pretty lucky to find our way out of there, at one point we both thought we would be wondering around all day in the woods, luckily, that was not the case. Moral of the story, who needs a trail? The adventure was in getting lost, pushing the limits, and making it out alive.

Entering a different realm

There are two moments in each day in which there is always a feeling of complete peace and calmness. Sunrise and sunset. I remember these peaceful moments in locations around the world. Italy, Paraguay, Alaska, California, New York, Wyoming, Germany, etc. I captured this image on Sunshine Pass in Telluride Colorado after a great day of fly fishing. Elk were calling, birds singing, wind whispering, and I had the biggest smile on my face because the feeling was so unreal! There are few sunsets or sunrises that pass by wherein I don't think about Garrett. He was present in my thoughts this particular evening. My two nephews were born yesterday, I haven't seen them yet but I am stoked they have arrived on this earth to experience the beauty of this life! I dedicate this image to them and hope that their lives are as colorful and beautiful as this landscape.
