Larry Inouye and myself, Paul Sibley, made it to and most importantly back from the summit of Mt. Rainier (14,410 feet) along with our climbing partner Carl Overaa!  This was an amazing endurance effort that saw us push up and back with over 20 hours of climbing in less than 48 total hours carrying packs…

Marian organized this run with great food and a fun photo-scavenger hunt. These photo’s won’t mean much to those who weren’t there but it was a fun night searching…

The 2007 Swamp Romp was held this morning on the Marine Base in Kaneohe. There were supposedly over 250 teams of 6 entered into this years race. This is always a fun event to watch and from what participants tell me, it’s a fun event to do as well. Teams come together from all kinds…
