Autumn Has Fallen

Wow. Has it really been 4 months since my last post?! The funny thing about blogging is that when you've been doing things worthy of a blog post, you rarely have the time or inclination to actually post about the events. Since my last entry, I have done everything from look for gold near the backwoods town of Trout Lake, BC, to diving into a pool after spinning fire at a friend's wedding, to entering my first ever downhill mountain bike race, to submitting my biggest and most important thesis chapter to a journal. It's been a lot of fun. Now that the weather is cooling and the days are growing shorter, I'm sure I'll start sorting and posting the myriad of pictures that have accumulated from Jenny's and my summer adventures.

If I had to choose 1 picture to sum up the past 4 months, I'd have to choose this one of Jenny and me in front of the Takhini River with the Ibex Valley in the background. We're happy about the summer we experienced and glad to live in such a great place. The colours around Yukon are absolutely amazing right now, so last weekend, we went for a short drive away from Whitehorse and did a bit of 4x4ing to find this secluded spot. It was so beautiful that we rented a canoe and spent today paddling down this same river. Our friend Kate took pictures of us shooting the rapids called "Jaws of Death," so you will soon be able to see how we made out...

Glad to hear that you had a great summer. Can't wait to see what you were up to! It was awesome that we got to see you during your travels.
