Bodie State Historic Park

Bodie is a gold mining ghost town. In 1880, the town grew from 1 person to 10 thousands in less than one year. The last person left Bodie around 1940.

The dream team.

The car needs a bit of work...

Tenaya Lake

Just before the Tioga pass, Tenaya lake can be seen from the road 120. We were out of luck because of the ice which prevented us from fishing.

Benoit fishing the trouts.

Oakdale Cowboy Town

On our way to Mammoth, we spent the night to Oakdale, a cowboy town. Not much to do there, but we wanted to have a rest before crossing the Yosemite.

Natural Bridges Sunset

Taking a good sunset photo at Santa Cruz is harder than it look. First of all, the fog blocks the sun about 2/3 of the time and second of all, when the fog is not in sight, the sky does not have any clouds!

Marina Festival of the Winds

We ended up by accident at the 10th Festival of the Winds, since the Marina skate park was closed and it was on our way back home. The kids loved it, they could play with those gigantic kites.

Lucas looks like an ant compare to the size of the gecko.

The kids tried to catch his tail.

The gymnasts played some tricks on Lucas.

Santa Cruz Backyard

Waiting for the summer and the tomatoes.

Lucas and Benoit at the Beach

It has been a long time since we have not spent a weekend at Santa Cruz. The ski season came to an end by mid April. We headed north to visit Scotts creek beach.

The beach just for Lucas.

Working on those 360, 180...

That what a call a big air, the lack of snow was not going to slow them down.

Check the back flip tentative by Lucas :)

Benoit Birthday

Benoit had a few friends over to celebrate is 9th birthday. They spend a few hours at the climbing gym, drew a few pictures with Colette and biked in the backyard.

Benoit is Turning 9

Francois prepared that fancy cake for Benoit.

Christmas at Arnold (Bear Valley)

Yes, I know, Christmas has happened already a month ago. Better late than never, here are the pictures.

Lucas is warming up before Christmas.

iPods have been in fashion lately.

iPods can play musics, games and movies. Live is good.

Lego, Indiana Jones and Star Wars (classic).

Joe on Coz Mama Roof - Castle Rock Bouldering

Joe giving us some beta for the low start of Coz Mama Roof (V9).

Joe Bouldering at Castle Rock

It felt great to be back bouldering at Castle Rock, never mind, if the highway 17 was a parking lot after someone destroyed a poll and pull down the telephone line.

Rob and I warmed up at the Magoos and we quickly moved to check the A** arete. This compression problem can be done using the left and right arete, while with the direct variation, the right arete is off limit.

Just right after, we climbed with Joe, a super strong climber. He gave me a ton of new betas that just work. He quickly sent Hueco wall and Hueco wall traverse.

Joe crushing the Hueco wall traverse (V8).

Joe working on a variation of deforestation, skipping the nasty crimps.

Birds Hunting

Saturday morning, Lucas and I biked to Natural Bridges to hunt (photo) birds.

No idea why those planes were getting so close!
