Group Shots

1971 - Boot Camp

What a great bunch of guys. We went through a lot together.

1973 - VP-65

NAS Pt Mugu, California

1986 - Big Bend Photographic Workshop

Homer Wilson Ranch, Big Bend National Park, Texas This was my first introduction to Big Bend and I fell in love with it. I had such a great time with these guys! What a gang!

1988 - Colorado Photographic Workshop

Cinnamon Pass, San Juan Mountains The smallest and most fun workshop I've ever been on. It was more like a vacation with friends. We bounced around on all the passes in the San Juans, except for Black Bear Pass, which had some serious issues.

1989 - "Rise 'N Shine" Crew

What a great bunch of people! Those were the days!!! I still miss the smell of propane and the taste of a nice chilled glass of champagne in the morning!

1995 - Mount St Helens

It never would have occurred to me to climb a live volcano to its summit, but I did it. What an experience this was!

1999 - Tahoe Wilderness Institute

Freel Peak, Sierra Nevada Mountains, Lake Tahoe, California We spent five glorious -- and tiring -- days hiking through the Sierra Nevada mountains on an outdoor college classroom. One of the greatest experiences of my life.

2000 - VANP37 Fire Crew

St Croix River, Minnesota My first and only fire fighting detail, which was an experience of a lifetime. We fought peat fires here in Minnesota, then, when that proved futile, we were shipped off to the Francis Marion National Forest in South Carolina.

2001 - Acadia Youth Conservation Corps

Conners Nubble, Acadia National Park, Maine My first leadership challenge and what a challenge it was! For two months I led this pack of hooligans around Acadia teaching them the tricks of the trail crew trade. It was exasperating at times, but really fun, too. Some of them actually went on to become trail crew members. That made me proud.

2003 - Bryce Canyon VUAs

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah The group shot of the Bryce Canyon Visitor Use Assistants.

2003 - CALF CREEK FALLS

In Utah. Me, Kendall Farnsworth, Maria Werner, and Roger Glampe.

2006 - Acadia Trail Crew

Acadia National Park, Maine I forget the actual location of this shot, but I love it to death. What a great bunch of folks to work with in all kinds of weather. I'll never forget them.
