Spent the weekend of April 4-6 in Downieville, California with friends. We meet the first weekend of April every year (5th year for me) for the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour (see my “Links” page). The films are all about mountains and include a mix of film styles, from intense action films to longer documentary films. Our annual get together is growing. We almost occupy the entire Riverside Inn. See you all next year and I’m looking forward to a rematch of horseshoes!

Click here for a link to a handful of pictures (OK, about 100 pics), which were whittled down from 4,800 to choose from! The pictures haven’t been touched up. (Thanks Terry and Robert for sharing pics.)
My friend, Terry, and I trekked in 3 main areas of southern Patagonia (the Southern tip of South America) from March 3 to March 27:
- Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
- Torres del Paine, Chile
- Los Glaciares (Mount Fitz Roy), Argentina
It was all hiking/backpacking and traveling. Traveling is not easy as you’re always on the go, but Terry made it look easy. I’m going to start calling Terry, “The Organizer.”
There were a lot of good memories. Highlights include:
- Making new friends
- Ascending John Gardner Pass in Torres del Paine and looking down on the Southern Patagonian Ice Cap
- Watching the alpenglow on Monte Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre during sunrise
