Spring. Flowing water. Tolerable heat. Rampant poison oak. Road trips.<\/p>\nSpring. Flowing water. Tolerable heat. Rampant poison oak. Road trips.<\/p>\n
Post Red Rock Rendezvous<\/a>, life has been a flurry of canyons, climbs, driving, tabletop war, jumping, riding in cars, camping, recording interviews, and work squeezed into the cracks. After learning our descent of the stellar\u00c2\u00a0San Jacinto<\/a> was unfortunately illegal and thankfully avoiding any fines, we headed to Arizona where the Canyons Gods toyed with the weather. Rainy nights and occasional day-time drizzle did not impact us in the end and we were able to run Punchbowl<\/a>, all of Waterslides<\/a>, and Christopher Creek<\/a>. The latter two I\u00c2\u00a0highly recommend if in the area. Highlights included stealth rappelling to avoid further scaring a baby mountain goat perched precariously on a ledge, superb natural slides, short rappels that transitioned into jumps, and a roadside sign for “Adult Cabaret<\/a>” topped by a cow sculpture.<\/p>\n G.O. Get Outside<\/a> is going to become more than just a video web-series and I am actively recording an audio podcast to accompany it. Ten interviews are currently in the can, the first was recorded in Yosemite’s famous Camp Four<\/a> featuring a wacky Aussie traveler I met earlier this year in Red Rock. During our short stay in Yosemite, Jeff and I climbed The Grack<\/a> on the apron of Glacier Point<\/a>. It was a great confidence builder and a chance to test out the\u00c2\u00a0newish GoPro Hero 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n
