New Website for Leslie

Happy Monday,


I have a new and improved website for my business pursuits. I've combined Bluebird Mapping and GIS with Wide Eyed World Photography.




If you have a moment, take some time and look around. http://www.lesliekehmeier.com/

Start on July 5th and arrive in Durango on July 21
Day 1 - Top of the World Campground
Day 2 - Kenosha Pass
Day 3 - Frisco
Day 4 - Rest Day
Day 5 - Camp Hale
Day 6 - Leadville
Day 7 - Buena Vista
Day 8 - Rest Day
Day 9 - 12 Lake City
Day 13 - Rest Day
Day 14-17 Durango

The wildflowers should be awesome...

The Cruiser Reborn

Chris finished up my Fourth of July cruiser last week. I took it for a spin immediately. Other than an old tire with a flat spot (thump, thump, thump...) it's fun, fuN, FUN!



Happy Monday,

What Happened to the Kehmeiers?

We're still kickin' it and keepin' it real. Real, acutally, is a good word. We are transitioning our way back to the 'real' world.

As some of you know, Chris has been working hard to become a teacher. With a lot of hard work and dedication, he was offered (and accepted) a job near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. He'll be teaching science to high schoolers.

I've been busy with my freelance work. Lots of maps, words, and pictures. Last weekend I competed in the Teva Games as a photographer for the first time. It was awesome to be behind the lens! Here is my portfolio entry: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vailvalleyfoundation/sets/72157619515955527/show/

Finally, we are still set to ride the Colorado Trail. I finally got my bike back, with a new frame, and look forward to another bicycle adventure.

Hope you are all well and we hope to be picking up the blogging as we ride from Denver to Durango.

Peace,
LK

What Time Is It?

It's game time.

Nuggets and Lakers start tonight. I'm so excited that I can hardly stand it!

Lakers are going down...

Chris 'the birdman' Andersen rules.

Nuggets in seven.

SpadOut

SpadOut - Sports Adventures Outdoors.

What is it? It's a website that tracks prices, reviews, and popularity of outdoor gear. Basically, type in the gear and the website lists the prices for the various on-line retailers.

The SpadOut website also includes an on-line magazine and I'm pleased to say that I am one of the writers. I now have an outlet for my geeked-out analysis of gear!

Here's my article on the ins and outs of solar charging on the road:http://www.spadout.com/a/solar-powered-people/

If you have a little free time, or are in need of some gear, check out the site here.

Happy Friday,

World's Greatest

In keeping up with events and happenings in Eagle County, I just ran across this post on the Vail Valley Foundation's blog. They are getting ready for the Teva Games and shared some awesome footage of one of my favorite trails - World's Greatest. Enjoy!



Here's to sweet singletrack!
