Hunting 08

This is a slide of our first hunting trip together. Hunting has been a King family tradition for a very long time. My father has been hunting the area we go to for over 35 some odd years now. I have so many very fond memories in that country. Jentri was a bit nervous about going to begin with, but who could blame her? Honestly, I would be too if I were in her shoes. We left Rexburg area and arrived in camp at about 9:30ish friday night and left sunday night. It was a depressingly short stay. The hunt openned on saturday and we got into the elk that morning. Sadly we weren't able to make contact, but went out again on sunday. Jentri stayed in camp with the ladies on saturday, but came on the hunt on sunday. I do believe she had a good time. The weather was beautiful and warm all weekend. We are still trying to get things unpacked and settled from the trip. This trip is such a huge thing to me. The hunting area is truely where my heart lies.

Hardcore Marcus!!

These picts were taken a while ago when Marcus graced us with his presence. This is the day Craig put this, his project down! Thanks all to Marcus pointing out a new, tinny, hold. Craig shot these and I think they turned out very well. Good job! Thank you friends for creating such a memorable weekend for Jentri and I. We look forward with giddiness to the next adventure together.

Update

As you can tell, not much i going on out here in Rexburg. Jentri and I are working our butts off to keep our finances in order and keep up with our classes. Every once in a while I squeeze in a session at Sticks. Jentri comes and hangs out at the sessions every once in a while. Hopefully Jentri gets her boot off tommorrow! I have joined up with a school organized photographic society. So, there may be pictures posted randomly from now on.

It has finally gotten cold! This last weekend was full of snow! Yay for winter!!! I'm still workin away at the Outdoor Resource Center, Jentri just changed her job. I can't really explain it to ya, but she is leading some advertising groups for the college I think. All I know is that this experience will be great on a resume'. So, we have met a new climber named Kristin. She is an awesome young lady, and a great climber to boot! If only we could get her over her shyness!

Those two pictures were taken out near the climb named Warpath. Over conference weekend Craig, Kristin, and I headed out to flash the route. It ended up raining all day, but that was ok being as warpath is in this HUGE cave. Stupid me didn't get a shot of all of us sending the route, but I did get these really cool other shots. Anyways, more to come later.

Pocatello Pump!!!

So last weekend Corey and I headed down to Pocatello to have our annual Climbing friendly Reunion also known as the Pocatello Pump. We climbed on Saturday top-roping the routes that we would lead climb on Sunday. We went to Lava Hot Springs (a new yearly tradition) and then climbed again on Sunday. I lead a whole 2 climbs that day, one being my first 5.10.

After the climbing was over I decided that it would be a really great idea to break my foot on the way back to the trail so I rolled it as soon as we got to the trail head. There was lots of debate as to whether it was broken or just sprained it so I hobbled it for two more days and when I finally got to the doctors office they x-rayed it and found three breaks in one bone so now I have fabulous black foot wear that I get to have for 4-6 weeks.

Corey and I would like to give a shout out to Craig and Tolman for winning their division in the competition and Marcus, I am so very glad that you decided to come. It is always good to have you around and it is great to climb with you and get to know you better..
