HAVASU CANYON, Arizona, USA November 2001 Near the 150 mile mark of the Grand Canyon, Havasu Canyon is located on the traditional land of the Havasupai Native Americans. Dark red sandstone walls falling steeply into the canyon, with a swift flowing river of blue-green water, punctuated periodically by 200-ft high waterfalls ... if ever there were a paradise on earth, this would be it. |
DINKEY LAKES, California, USA October 2001 A series of alpine lakes nestled to the west of Kings Canyon National Park in the Seirra Nevadas. 2 major peaks in the area are Dogtooth and 3 Sisters. Great views of the Sierra crest from top of either peak. |
MARIN HEADLANDS, California, USA July 2001 Pictures from a beginners' backpacking trip I led to the Marin Headlands. This beautiful windswept section of the California coastline is just minutes north of bustling San Francisco. |

SAILING IN THE CARIBBEAN, Grenada and St Vincent & the Grenadines Dec 2001 - Jan 2002 My first sailing trip to the Caribbean! Had a wonderful time sailing between the islands of Grenada and SVG. We did a bareboat charter of the Loki and sailed her for 10 days. Many thanks to the Saran family for a wonderful sailing experience. |
