Standing On Top

My intention for this site.

I find myself a bit at odds today. Maybe a little overwhelm and maybe a bit of excitement. Yesterday I found myself launching a new web site or should I say creating the initial blog and page. I feel like a painter or author standing in front of a blank page. There is so much to say but I havenâ€™t a clue where to start. There is just so much to do and only 24 hours in a day. You would think 24 hours would be more than sufficient to accomplish such a meager task.
All my life I have been a bit of an adventurer. My very first book I remember reading was about Louis and Clarks adventures down the Grand Canyon. I remember sitting and reading that book and there was just no way I could put it down. I was so involved in the story that I could see the red canyon walls, hear the water rushing underneath and smell the smells of sage in the air. What a wonderful journey it was and how it so shaped my life. My father was also a major role in shaping me as and giving me the heart of an adventurer. He would my brother and I into the mountains above Salt Lake City Utah and we would hike to wonderful areas like White Pine and Red Pine lakes, Lake Blanch and lone peak above cool springs. We also trekked the Uintah Mountains on so many occasions scrambling up rocky faces and onto mountain tops. I remember the first time I stood on top of Bald Mountain (11,943 ft) and looked down on Mirror Lake. The skies opened up and you could see heaven from up there. It was so magical.

So what do those lovely childhood experiences have to do with this web site and me? Everything!

This is a story about the life of an adventurer and the tales will be told about the Past, the Present and the future. The story is still unfolding and you can be a witness to the outcome. In fact, you may have ways to shape the outcome itself. I will tell stories of past adventures and link you to pictures and more information. As I perform new adventures and feats I will update you about what I am doing and how I am doing it. And lastly I will talk about future treks and what I am doing to make them reality.
I will talk about equipment, what I use it for and how. There will be talks about Camera equipment, mountaineering gear, clothing, travel and any other thought or whim that pops into my mind. There will be days where I do not post. And there may be days where I post so often even I canâ€™t keep up with it all. I want to figure out a way that you, the readers and the reason I do this, can be updated or notified when new events happen. As I figure this out I will give youâ€™re the option to opt in and be notified.
