Westwater Bahaloo

Time for the sun
the soul scorcher West Water
torture that is being among
beauty and family and friends
too big to contain in the veins
bleed for the love
which runs red in the lines
of water erosion to the explosion
of heart...





















Let it be known that no one died....

7 Fourteeners in 7 days









Castle Peak...Conundrum Peak...Lincoln...Democrat...Cameron...Bross

Haakon and Emily Currie Wedding

"It could be the summer of 2002." Trevor said. We were in Pongas billiard hall playing Big Buck Hunter, shooting whiskey, and listening to classic rock. Everyone was there and it was erie how nothing had changed but the size of some of our guts and the lose of some of our hair.

Haakon Currie a long time friend, since 8th grade, was married in Durango at the Durango Mountain Resort. The wedding audience consisted of everyone who used to live in the rafting commune. All those transient raft guides and mountain folk who would call Durango their summer home. Only this time everyone was showered and shaved, and eveyone was eyeing the open bar. Haakon should have known better! The wedding was short and sweet, morphing clouds in the mountain background, as they said "I do" and started their new life.
