I took a group from the U of O for a day of snow boarding and skiing today. It was a great group and an awesome day at willamette Pass Ski Resort.

Things have been very busy for me lately ... looking for work and looking for a place to live. I've been staying in Salem, but I'm looking for a place to live in Eugene, Oregon.
I found a new job working at a charter bus company in Junction City, Oregon called Experience Oregon. They're a small family owned company, but they have great equipment and I enjoy working for them. Here's one of the buses that I've been driving.
I took this shot with my cell phone while taking the U of O Stunt and Gmynastics Team to a meet in Tacoma, Washington last weekend.
The next big project for me is to find a decent, safe place to live in Eugene. This is turning out to be a much more difficult task than I thought it would be. I've looked at a lot of places and talked to a lot of people. Mostly, I'm getting leads from Craig's List. What I've seen so far is either too expensive or too dirty and smells like a dog lives there. And I won't settle for any place that smells like smoke!
As soon as I have a new mailing address, I'll let everyone know.

Things have been really busy here in Sisters for me. I've made an important decision ... I'm moving back to Salem in search of a job!
I've given my 30 day notice for my 2 bedroom house, and I'll be looking for a place to rent in Salem.
There are several different jobs listed in Salem, so I don't think it should too difficult to get a job there, although I know that a lot of people are looking for work right now, so there will be lots of competition.
I'm also trying to sell a few things on Craig's List before I move. If I can sell a few of these items, I won't need as large of a moving truck and I can save a little money. Check out these postings on Craig's List:
Oak Dinette Set with 4 chairs

47" round Dinette Set
http://bend.craigslist.org/fuo/1493254153.html
Beige Loveseat
http://bend.craigslist.org/fuo/1493264994.html
1990 Ford Conversion Van

17' Coleman Canoe with paddles and 2 life jackets
http://bend.craigslist.org/boa/1490555918.html

When I woke up in the morning, there was about 2" of new snow that fell overnight. The street is covered in snow, and it looks very slick! I decided to travel back about 4 miles to the town of Burns to find a place to eat breakfast, then I'll travel slowly back home to Sisters, Oregon.
It's great to be home again!

I made it to Burns, Oregon tonight. It was a long drive, and I'm tired. Stopped at a drive-in restaurant and ordered some Fish and Chips ... an odd meal to have out here in Burns, so far from the ocean!
Just outside of town, I was able to find a nice place to pull off the road and camp in my Ford van for the night. It will be another cold night, I'm affraid!

Arches National Park, just outside the town of Moab, Utah.
This is Landscape Arch ... one of the longest natural arches in the world.
Later in the day, I took a group hike to the Firey Furnace area, and it was a great thing to do. We hiked for about 3 hours, and I was amazed by the narrow passages and arches along the way!
Earlier in the morning, I met another hiker by the name of Jason, from California. He invited me to camp in his campsite, and another hiker by the name of Clay also camped there. It was a great evening by the campfire, enjoying chocolate chip cookies!
This is an amazing place. The rock formations are incredible. I stayed last night at the Lazy Lizard Hostel in Moab, and it was the perfect place to stay. They had nice showers, and the price was very reasonable. I went to the grocery store and bought a "you bake" pizza. It was great!
