Adventure in Queensland – Australia!

Leave a comment

This is a collection of images from a trip in November 2001 organized through REI Adventures.  They call it their “Reef and Rain Forest” multisport trip.  Fifteen days of whitewater rafting, backpacking, camping, biking, sea kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, and uh… eating!  It was wonderful!  (No worries, mate!)

Pumpkin Ride

Leave a comment

The proper way to gather pumpkins for the season… on your mountain bike and in costume!  Here’s the deal. Starting from the upper Purisma Creek parking lot (on Skyline), you ride in costume down a mix of single-track, fire roads, and paved roads to a pumpkin farm near Half Moon Bay.  You select your choice of pumpkins, pack’em up, and then haul yourself and your pumpkin load back up to the top. Prizes are awarded in various categories including most weight (pumpkin that is) and best costume.

This ride is just one of many activities organized through ROMP — check it out!

FileMaker DevCon @ The Magic Kingdom

Leave a comment

This year, FileMaker’s annual Developer Conference was held at Disney’s Coronado Springs in Orlando, Florida. We also visited the Magic Kingdom and Disney/MGM Studios parks.  One amusing highlight was a session of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” filled with FileMaker trivia questions answered by our Dev Con attendees.

This collection of photos comes from several sources — mostly from Clay. (Thanks Clay!)
