Nice trip and that's a great area. By going to Vernal, did you skip Elysian Fields?

Carl and Ben, We met on the boat ride up. Great to see your TR! Some pics from our trip: Chelan-Sawtooth Traverse Cheers, Luke

What, no bouldering? tee-hee

Sup boys. Things are still going well here in MGL; for the last 6 months I've been doing corporate communications work for Ivanhoe Mines. The kid is doing well, running all over the place and starting to get pretty close to saying words. http://photos-c.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v132/226/49/25901538/n25901538_32621310_380.jpg http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v132/226/49/25901538/n25901538_32621313_1160.jpg Just got back from a week in the US leading a delegation of Mongolian media (6 tv stations, 4 newspapers) on a mine study tour of Kennecott Utah Copper in Salt Lake City. I secretly lusted after going bouldering at Little Cottonwood, Ibex and Joe's Valley, but alas it was not in the cards. Etc.

Where the fuck are you going Kix!?

bumpity bump bump Tonight, south side of G-lake. Free food and drink. Cheers, Luke

haha, true that! No doubt there are tough moments, but generally Amarlin sleeps through the night and has never been a crying baby. Everything else has been going great as well, she loves to play. I give credit to her super mix of genes: 1/4, Uriankhai Mongol, 1/4 Khalkh Mongol, 1/8 Italian, 1/8 Sweedish, 1/8 German and then Irish and English.

Maybe Ramutas could glue some cloth to a slab of Stealth. ; ) Even though she is only 4.5 months old she has a mean grip. Try and find really small "captains of crush" as well...

That's right you wankers. I'm coming home with the wife and our daughter for two weeks of NW rain and general holiday family time, seeing as it has been two years since I left. We are having a small baby shower/welcome to the USA party at my family's house on the south side of Greenlake. Anyway, thought a couple of you folks might be interested, and there are a few of you I wouldn't mind sharing a few laughs with. Plus we'll provide food and some beer/wine whatever. Anyone ever thinking about coming to Mongolia could also abuse us as a resource. Wednesday December 20, 5-8pm. PM or email me on gmail for directions: bataa32 5738 Ashworth Ave N

steep wall in the background? PS I miss the old cc.com...

don't forget the 4th/5th B, bi-sexual babes

another year of pulling down on mud with the 3B's (bonfires, bears, bongs)? Sounds like a good time, you crazy kids have fun!

Thanks guys! She is doing well so far, not crying too much, nice yellow poop and loves to look around and interact.

Well, just home from the hospital yesterday. We are going to try and come home for Christmas and New Years, so here's hoping! Both are doing fine, I have much better pics now and will try to post one or two tonight when I get home.

She has a first named, but we haven't finalized the middle name yet (down to two) Her first name is Amarlin, emphasis on the first "a", it means peaceful. It is an old name, my wife and I have never met anyone with it before.
