(April 15th – 30th, 2005)
This is a collection of images from a two week trip to Thailand arranged through BikeHike Adventures. Most of the trip was guided by Daniel and Scott of Smiling Albino but the last four days were on my own in the Krabi region.

Exploring Southcentral Alaska
This is a collection of images from a three week trip to the southcentral portion of Alaska. The first six days were booked with Alaska Wildland Adventures to explore the Kenai Pennisula and involved a series of separate guided day excursions while staying at a couple of lodges. (This flexibility was helpful since a different outfitter cancelled a week-long group trip at the last minute.) The middle ten days were arranged through REI Adventures and handled by Alaska Alpine Adventures. This guided group trip passed through Prince William Sound, visited McCarthy/Kennicott, traveled the Denali Highway, and included three days visiting Denali National Park. The final three days (and a couple of intermediate days) were on my own.

Belize Adventure
This is a collection of images from a trip in March 2002 booked through REI Adventures and provided by SlickRock Adventures. It was a week of caving, rafting, canoeing, jungle hiking, sea kayaking, surf kayaking, snorkeling, diving, windsurfing, … oh, you get the idea.
Jungle hiking (and a bit of four-wheeling) to reach Actun Tunichil Muknal – otherwise known as the Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre.
Watch your step — those are real Mayan artifacts!
Two nights at Casa Maya, a guided tour of the ruins of Xunantunich, and some “mostly gentle” canoeing down the Mopan River.
Nice day to capsize!
Helmets and headlamps for caving via rafts on the Caves Branch River. And overnight nestled in Ian Anderson’s Jungle Lodge.
Sweet!
Four days of sea and sun on Long Caye at Glover’s Reef. Sea kayaking, surf kayaking, snorkeling, diving, windsurfing, oh, and hammock surfing.
Rough life!
Miscellaneous Excursions: Downtown in Belize City and out to the Belize Zoo, visiting the ruins of Altun Ha, and demonstrating our primate origins at the Community Baboon Sanctuary.
Who’s the true primate?!
Adventure in Queensland – Australia!

Fifteen days of whitewater rafting, backpacking, camping, biking, sea kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, and uh… eating! It was wonderful! (No worries, mate!)
