Ralph Waldo Emerson, a famous writer, once said, “Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” This quote, in particular, resonates with me as an artist.

I know this because Disaster on the Mountain states, “Like the skiers in Tunnel Creek, Stroud and Repetto had attended avalanche school. They knew avalanches were common in Chugach State Park, particularly on bright, sunny days following heavy snowfall. They also knew that colder,shadowed slopes are more avalanche prone. Yet just such a slope is where they ventured for their fateful ski

shows the weaknesses in the CBD’s argument because they have had to leave their original stance and move onto something that does not concern them what so ever. To make a claim such as this would be the same as if the CBD said there should be no more rock and roll concerts because of the violence and drug use that is associated with them.

Road biking is an awesome way to amplify your fitness should you decide to add it to your training. First and foremost I have always been a mountain biker, with cyclocross being a close second. I much prefer dirt, dust, mud, and rocks in contrast to smooth black tar of the roads. Playing amongst the trees and bushes is a frivolity that I enjoy often.

in price, the cost for the tide pools are due to the fact that some of them are maintained by the state and require a fee similar to that of a state park. However not all of the pools require payment, there are also some free of charge. “The tide pools form when the tide and water are in, the sea life begins to grow and expand overtime on the rock formations.

flat surface. Most of the graffiti was either “Class of 19XX“, “Someone Loves Some Other Person,” or “420 related.” Regardless it was a cool place to check out. There was a place along the street at the base of the Plateau where you could park. From here the hike to the Plateau was rather a short walk up a steep hill. The problem with parking here was, if the cops saw your car, they would either give you a ticket or wait to harass you

California is currently battling a massive water shortage that is crippling the state. The lack of a rainy season for the last four years is really putting a strain on the local farmers, citizens, and communities.
