Shining Rock Wilderness, NC : My father and I went on an overnight backpacking trip through the Shining Rock Wilderness, adjacent to Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The trip got shortened due to lost luggage, shuttle service not running, and rain, but it still ended up being a great trip.

Getting back to Colorado 2007 : Arriving back from New Zealand, I went to NC while Heather went to Colorado and then to Kansas. I visited with my family in NC, where I bought a new (to me) car. I packed my bags and went up to see my grandparents in Ohio before heading over to Kansas to meet up with Heather. After spending a bit of time there we finally made it back to Boulder. Got back into the swing of things by going down to Telluride for a 5 day bluegrass festival with friends. Then we went to New York City for July 4th, where we saw my brother and sister-in-law and..... I proposed to Heather! We are now engaged. Photos of the engagement trip are here. Watch out world, here we come.
