Earthquake: Reno, Nevada

May 1st, 2008 by Robert | 15 comments

The rash of recent earthquakes in Reno, Nevada reminds me of my own experience with this particular fault line. About three years ago, I was driving my brand new Subaru Outback up the canyon of Highway I-80 towards Truckee, California to go whitewater kayaking when an earthquake struck. I was moving along at about […]

A Weekend in Charleston, South Carolina

Dec 14th, 2007 by Robert | 9 comments

Last weekend I made my way to Charleston, South Carolina to spend the weekend boating, fishing, and camping with some good ole childhood friends. We may have grown in years, but so much of who we are is the same. This is a good thing.
Despite being December, the weather was absolutely gorgeous, and some of us […]

Tampa, Florida: A Lush Life

Nov 13th, 2007 by Robert | 0 comments

What can I say, there has been a lot of this lately. But being new to Tampa, Florida, it is nice to at least be making some friends that are encouraging it.
A few places that I enjoy around Tampa for hanging out, grabbing some food, and tossing back a few are:
Mangroves: A hip little joint in the […]

Tampa, Florida: Getting Settled

Nov 5th, 2007 by Robert | 4 comments

It is hard to believe that it has been almost 3 months since I left Reno-Tahoe, but time flies when you are busy getting on with it. What is even more surprising, however, is that I have not yet done a real blog post on my new locale. But first a word from the Florida Gators.

Winey Woman

Oct 4th, 2007 by Robert | 1 comments

This is a picture of my wife about to sip on some cabernet at Mad Dogs, which is a great little pub and restaurant in Tampa. The food is affordable and delicious; in fact, a travel guide voted it the “best kept secret in town.” Seeing how it is within biking distance of the house […]

Kings Beach, California

View Larger Map
Located on the north shore of Lake Tahoe lies the last little hold out when it comes to the price of real estate on the Lake. Don’t get me wrong, it is still expensive, but in comparison to the other lake locale prices, well, it is hard to beat.
Kings Beach has changed a […]

Leaving Reno-Tahoe

Aug 16th, 2007 by Robert | 16 comments

There is a reason why I have not been blogging lately. I have a felt a certain vacuousness, like my brain is a barren and desolate place devoid of any real desire to communicate or express emotion. This feeling was initiated by the harsh realization that I was going to have to leave the Reno-Tahoe area.
I have been operating […]

Swinging My Way to Golfer

Jul 2nd, 2007 by Robert | 3 comments

Historically, I have not been much of a golfer. The sport never really fit in to my busy schedule as a kayaker, skier, mountain biker, and general mountain enthusiast. But I have been a few times, and in each case I have enjoyed it despite the tests of patience and humility.
This past Friday might […]

Meeks Bay, Lake Tahoe

Jun 26th, 2007 by Robert | 1 comments

Tis the season for weddings, and this past weekend I found myself right smack dab in the middle of one being held at Meeks Bay Resort on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. Suffice to say, it was a good wedding. The bride and groom love each other, and friends from all over gathered to celebrate their union […]
