October and November

A way-too-quick photo recap of the past two months...

October started out with an unexpected trip to upstate NY to celebrate the life of my grandmother. After the funeral we spent a few family days in the Adirondacks...






Then it was time for the Escalante Marathon...




And a couple days of camping in the desert. We hiked in Escalante NM and Capitol Reef NP. I can't spend enough time in this area...






















For Andrea's birthday we spent a long weekend camping/running/hiking/biking in Moab...












We were holding off on starting our ski season until after the JFK 50 (and the resolution of Andrea's stress fracture), but couldn't resist the urge to join the early season masses in Collins Gulch...


Then we headed back east and I ran the JFK 50 miler, where I did OK (8th place) once we were off the Appalachian Trail section.








It was a FRIGID family Thanksgiving back east...


And then we returned to some decent early season conditions...




Grandeur is always a better hike in snow, too...


Now its TIME TO SKI!!!
