| some more of our 60 mile venture // top pic some of the lava flow out of Brown mountain. we are about 5500 feet in elevation. Second pic is the north fork of Brown creek pumping out of the base of the Mountain, more like a big black slug heap. Some of the best back country telemark skiing is here on the West coast USA

| D@mn Eric! Great pics. That does look like a lot of fun (great scenery). He, my dad's a cyclist too (albeit I don't think he's as good as he used to be, though). I think you guys would get along great with stuff like this.
