Recently Joey spent some time biking in the Redwoods and backpacking in Hell's Canyon. Here are some photos:

Dear Kari,
What a great trip he had and the pictures came out perfect. Our kids have the best experiences. I didn't start doing any of that until much older. Maybe I'll learn how to post all of these things while Liat is doing her gap year. I'm looking forward to more.
Love, Dana
The last pic in the Redwoods section is really cool.
Who planned this? Was it part of his school or just his buddies. Looks like a lot of fun. Maybe Joey will be able to participate in a "Man Trip" someday.
The trip was through his school. They have an outdoor program with 2-3 full time staff. They are big into sports, exercise and the outdoors. From Joey's account of the trips, you probably would have loved both of them. The Redwood and coastal area of N. California is beautiful no matter how you see it. The backpacking trip was apparently quite intense with the first day starting at 7am and including a 9 hour bus ride, then a 4 hour hike (with 45-50 lb. packs). In that 4 hours they gained 3000 feet in elevation and then had to set up camp! They all came back with major blisters, but all said they loved it!
