Sam is the hit of the Outdoor Retailer Show in SLC on 8/8/08.

A lightening storm on the Kaiparowits Plateau. It took me quite some time to get a good shot. A week ago.

Elle (brown dog, grandmother) with Kai (yellow dog, mother) and the pups a couple of weeks ago. Pups first swim.

Sweet!!!!

A perfect point found while out canyoneering this summer.

Artifacts that Rick found at an Indian site he had not seen before. Awesome stuff.

The last group of Mountain Hardwear folks gather for their final day of canyoneering on 4/20/08.
