Mammoth Cave

During my July 2013 visit to see mom, we also went to the Mammoth Cave National Park.  This is the longest known cave system at 1600 km.  New entrances are being discovered all of the time.  The temperature stays constantly around 55 degrees F throughout the year and is home to a diverse, nocturnal ecosystem.  These pictures aren't so great - smartphone.

Foal

When I visited my mom in July 2013, I got to see Mom's latest foal - these are Icelandic horses.

River Tubing

Our tradition of breakfast on the river before tubing. Pretty poor quality... July 2013

Grand Lake, CO

Sarah took me to Colorado for our 1 year anniversary in June 2013.  Here's some great scenery from our cabin.

Long Winter

Late April snowfall 2013, took the dog out into the backyard woods.

Tough Mudder

In a sign of office solidarity, I agreed to run the Tough Mudder.  I'm glad I did it.  I'm glad I trained for it...

 The team - that's me top left of center in the red shirt

Double fisting a sports drink and beer.  My feet hurt so badly.  I left my shoes in a pile at the end of the race - they were toast.
