From hiking to Yachats to baseball, a collection of images from my eyes

Pacific Crest Trail

Our Story

Brother-in-law Glenn Petersen on a "shakedown" hike prior to the PCT

High Sierra marker. These old signs work great but too many of the new-fangled markers are almost unintelligible.

I took this of two young and edgy hikers, enjoying a sunrise at the highest point in the Lower 48—14,505-foot Mt. Whitney, in California's High Sierras.

Celebrating a 16.4-mile hike, much of it snow, on the shoulder of Mt. Thielsen in 2011. Camping at 6,200 feet.

Taking a break at Crater Lake, 2011, on my 452-mile trek across Oregon. The PCT doesn't technically go right by the lake but nearly all hikers swing wide to the east to catch the view.

The southern terminus, i.e., the Mexican border at about 5 a.m., in 2019.

Six generations (on my mom's side) have stayed at our family cabin on the coast since my grandfather bought it in 1936.

Sally conducts the rare orchestra of not sea gulls but pelicans, which we might see only every few years.

Sailing

No sailing this summer (2021)—time to get the PCT finished—but we've had some great memories at Fern Ridge Lake with At Last.

Traeshon Holden apology after spitting incident in Ohio State game:

​

“I want to sincerely apologize for my actions during our recent game. My actions were not only disrespectful but also a betrayal of the values of sportsmanship, integrity, and respect that I strive to embody as a student-athlete. To my Oregon family, I am truly sorry for letting you down. You have shown me the importance of teamwork, discipline, and respect, and my actions in that moment did not reflect these core principles. I recognize that this has negatively affected our team’s reputation, and I deeply regret putting us in that situation.

​

“To Ohio State, I offer my sincerest apologies for my behavior. It was completely unacceptable and a momentary lapse in judgment. I want to emphasize that this incident does not reflect who I am as a person or the values I aim to uphold. Moving forward, I am committed to making meaningful changes, not only in managing my emotions during competition both in setting a better example for my teammates and the broader community. I am determined to demonstrate growth and maturity, both on and off the field, and I hope to earn back the trust of those I’ve let down.

​

“This incident has been a valuable lesson, and I am dedicated to becoming a better player, teammate, and a positive role model in our community.”
