Karla, Gavin and Ivan at the zoo. Maybe I could've finished the whole PCT if I had Gavin's setup!

Gavin at Crissy Field

Tom's Birthday Party

Happy Birthday, Tom! We had a great celebration at Tom's parents house with a pizza party, cake and presents. Unfortunately, the cake slid off the tray but landed face up on the ground (still on the cardboard). It was a little squished, but it still tasted great!

Tom with his sister Christy and nephews Troy and Ryan.

Ryan is performing his Happy Birthday dance.

Tom and Troy celebrate.

Happy Birthday, Tom!

Hooray for Mobile Blogger!

As you can see from the previous post (the building of the computers), I have discovered Mobile Blogger. This is so cool! You can take pictures from your cell phone and send them straight to the blog website. Text is limited, unfortunately, but I can't type very fast on the phone anyway. Since I broke my phone, my wonderful sister-in-law, Christy, has loaned me her old phone which just happens to have a camera. Yippee! Stay tuned...

Building the new twin computers

Tom and Mike are assembling their new computers.

Farewell to the PCT

We have shifted gears and are no longer on the Pacific Crest Trail. If you've been following our PCT journal at Postholer.com, you already know about this. If not, click on the above link for the full scoop.

We are currently in Arcadia, California at Tom's parents house, regrouping for some hiking in the Sierras and Oregon. Stay tuned for posts and photos as we continue the journey...
