Lower Antelope Canyon, May 2017
In May, 2017 I visited Lower Antelope Canyon outside of Page, Arizona. Touring the canyon was on my short list of things to see before I moved from Arizona to Oregon. I finally edited the photos, over a year and a half later. This website is in dire need of updates, but for now, editing […]
Goodbye, 2015.
Goodbye, 2015. I will not miss you. This was an exceptionally difficult year with few highlights. In May, I completed the Professional Printer Training Program at Tamarind, which was somewhat underwhelming. In April, I lost Alabama, my 13 year old cat, to congestive heart failure and endured the singular most difficult day of my life in the wake […]
Cadillac Ranch, January 2015
This past January, on our way to Amarillo, Texas via ABQ, the Tamarind crew stopped at Cadillac Ranch located directly on Route 66– The Mother Road. It was a rare, snowy mid-morning– perfect for picture-taking and tagging. Spray paint cans littered the ground, as visitors are actively encouraged to add their own art to the rusted […]
Tent Rocks national Monument, Day After Thanksgiving 2014

Regardless, the hike is beautiful. We climbed to the top of the outcrop […]
Bandelier National Monument, Fall 2014
In October, I took a solo day trip to Bandelier National Monument, winding along the backroads and approaching Frijoles Canyon from the southwest from the Jemez Mountains, which was a beautiful drive. The peak tourist season was winding down, but I still had to take a shuttle into the canyon from a neighboring town. Several years […]
Overnight at White Sands
Back in October, the Tamarind Adventure Club enjoyed a night of camping at White Sands National Monument. When we arrived in the early afternoon, the sun was high overhead and the heat, reflecting of the dunes, was almost unbearable. The sand however, made out of gypsum, remained cool to the touch, collecting what little moisture the […]
Lake Abiquiu
For Memorial Day, the Tamarind Adventure Club went swimming at Lake Abiquiu, near Ghost Ranch. The lake is man made, and is one of the few lakes in New Mexico that allows motorized boating. The weather was gorgeous, the lake was calm, and the water was the perfect temperature.
