Heroes
Lori-Ann Muenzer: won Olympic Gold at age 38 despite overcoming, unbelievable obstacles.
Mark Tewksbury: stayed true to himself, maintained his integrity, and came out a hero while dealing with extreme homophobia and ridiculous political pressures in his journeys as an Olympian, speaker, broadcaster, and sports leader.
Erik Weihenmayer: Successful teacher, husband and father, who includes climbing all seven summits among his many great adventures. Oh yeah... he is completely blind (two glass eyes), and achieved this well balanced success without the use of his eyes.
Warren MacDonald: Lost both legs in a mountaineering accident. Went on to become the first double above-knee amputee to reach the summit of Kilimangero, and continues to adventure, rock & ice climb without legs.

Snowdomia 2007:
(Upper Joffre Lake - ..o Jan 1)
The Snowdomia Story...
Every year we pick a destination to build a snow village over a few days to spend New Year’s Eve. We call it Snowdomia. This year, we went to Joffre Lakes, north of Pemberton. Twenty five people & two dogs built a village complete with patio, suburbs, and a luge track running through the centre of town. Earlier, at my Winter Solstice party, bad thoughts and memories from 2006 were put into effigy dolls which a couple of us brought to burn so as to not bring them forward into 2007. Snowdomia also had scenic views, snow caves, snowshoeing, skiing, fireworks, glow stick poi, electric Jell-O, and a great New Year’s Eve party!

Thanks Eileen for getting back to me with hiking ideas and your amazing adventures mountain climbing. Stay safe. I love all the pics you post. How was Africa? What did you all do there? I'll check your blog it's probably up there.
Hi, Wow you and MC take the most amazing trips. I just love checking your sites. Can you suggest a really pretty hike that is not too hard for my 5 year old and 10 year old that we could do in a day within 2 hours from our nearest city of Tacoma, Wa? We are anxious to hike and for spring. Thanks.
Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's totally free too; my goal with this is to accumulate as many BFF's as possible.
Hope you had a great weekend! I want to invite you and your friends on our inaugural group trip to Greece and Turkey in May! Check your event invitation and register for the trip. Have an awesome day!
