100 Places You Never Heard of that you Should Visit

Well I'm not sure how anyone could not have heard of Devils Tower, but the folks from TV Land asked us to help them get a crew into position for a shoot at Devils Tower. They were all great to work with and we hope they learned a little about rock climbing and got some super footage. We all learned 2 things.... #1 Devils Tower is tall. #2 TV gear, even the super cool light weight gear, is heavy. So we may not have gotten everything we wanted, but there should be a cool segment on Devils Tower coming out soon.

Primal Quest

OK, I've done some crazy things in my day, but this whole Adventure Racing thing is beyond my reach. Even if I liked running, the thought of starting off a race with a marathon, then several hundred miles of Mountain Biking, Kayaking, and swimming, with some caving and climbing mixed in, all with out a marked course....yeah, no thanks. I did get a chance to hang out with Jan and Herb Conn and watch the action on the Tyrolean traverse that was set up in the Cathedral Spires. They seemed to think that was kinda cool, but also, preferred to watch it from afar with a spotting scope.

Congrats to all the teams, esp. the South Dakota team who was the first hometown crew to enter and finish in the history of Primal Quest. Thanks to all the volunteers who make this race happen and thanks to Jay and Dave for putting up such a cool jungle gym in our backyard known as the Needles.
