Sweet taste of sucess!

Hi Guys,



It is 90, humid, and the beach is way warm in the Caribeean. Just finished crossing the entire country of Costa Rica by Cycling, hiking, Whitewater rafting, and sea kayaking the last 50 km on the Pacuare River. The Class IV whitewater on the Pacaure lived up to its namesake. I learned a new definition of Hot while hiking and have a lot of respect for those who pick the coffee that soo many consume. Bike Hike Adventures and Coast To Coast Adventures did a fantasitc job.


Sloths are so slow, the 2 toed guys have moss growing on their backside. Howler monkeys make the funniest loud sounds and a Bird Montezuma Pendula (spelling) mocked me this entire trip


So weird, cannot access any email, but facebook is the only thing I can get out on except rarely get out on my website.



Due to a lack of internet or phone access, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!



Side note, the spell checker is in spanish, so everything was mispelled.

Adventure

Hi Guys,

What a nice feeling to be in a warm 80 degree place and have your luggage join you on your flight. All is well

Moab-Golden Spike-Poison Spider

Hi Guys,

Here is another post of Moab! The snow has finally left and got out for a 25 mile road ride this weekend. I nearly lost feeling in my toes by the time I got back. I guess at 38 degrees, riding on the road takes it out of you pretty quick.

If you haven't noticed, the world tracker on the left of the screen has reset.

Being the rockclimber he is, Scott likes to get close to the edge of the cliff.


Scott talks about his base jumping idea with a mountain bike. Not really, but the photo makes it seem that way. These cliffs were steep.
Mike B from San Diego riding the rock edge.
Here I am riding down the same rocky ledge. This is one place you really don't want to fall.
Here is the entrance to Arches National Park as looking from the Moab Rim.
Looking back up the highway from the entrance to arches, here is the rim that we were riding.

These rocks were fun to play on. Still not a fan of these kind of heights, but it was neat to see the rock crawler jeeps go right up and over here.




Matt and Scott hanging out on a ledge.


Hope you enjoy the photos. More to come later.
Mike
