Cabin Life

Well done with the Ice Age Trail Alliance trail building event and now am located at our cabin. The last few days have been interesting building a massive deck bridge over a swamp area. While I did enjoy the work and getting outdoors, dealing with some of the lack of organization and agreement on technique in order to accomplish tasks made the work difficult. My father and I did go out fishing twice I'm which he caught a small trout. I think the best part about the whole experience was the amazing cooking done by an elderly women named Thelma. Now I'm up at the cabin where the adventure is constant!

Fly Fishing

Just got done fly fishing on the Eau Clair River at the Eau Clair dells in Wisconsin. While for sure I didn't catch anything, I did however renew my passion for the game. I can't wait to go again tomorrow! Also it was a very quick reminder of that I need to enjoy every moment of this freedom I have because it is not going to last long. I also can not wait to do some regular fishing back at the cabin and send a picture of a fish to Justin.

Trail Building

After a eventful day yesterday working as a canvasser for grassroots campaign in Chicago then having the expectation of going to Denver being stolen away from me. Then deciding not to work there and having to change plans and go build trail in Wisconsin with the father. Well stressful is what yesterday was as today is peaceful. Just enjoying a nice avalanche beer from Denver, Colorado and sitting by a fire! The adventure continues, actually I think the adventure has just begun.

The Off Night

Well got off work at around 5:00pm after a long day of tuning and fixing up bikes. As a group the Whiteman Vega staff went to Taos, New Mexico all piled in a Volvo Station Wagon five guys, five seats. We first stopped at Auto Zone to look for car parts. Then we went Pizza Outback where I had a Calzone with veggies and no cheese . Still getting used to being a Vegan and love it. Before that we went to an organic food store where I got some sweet vegan cookies, Wasabi Seaweed, and some chips. After we ate the pizza we went looking for the tribe gathering and found it but where not willing to pay for the $30 entrance fee.

Drake Relays

Just got done enjoying some track and field events at the Drake Relays. Best event by far was women's high jump. The athletes were so much fun and energetic. Really enjoyed being up close and personal with them. Thanks to Matt Mobley the Social Media man for Drake Athletics I was sitting in row six right at the finish line. It was an intense gathering of athletes from the high school level, colleges, and pros. It was interesting to see how all of the different levels interacted and compared. Most of all to see the divisions of each levels characters that develop at each level is astounding. You can really tell which person puts in the time and effort to be perfect.
