A quick updated with photos!

So, I can say this has been THE most strenuous and physically demanding photo shoot I have had in my entire life thus far.

Let me back up

just a little bit and

tell you how I got here...kind of a long story but I will shorten it up....But, thank you so much all of you who were part of this...God is in you!

Twin Falls, I need to so

me how make it down to Bishop Ca on the 24th ish of March. One of my friends was leaving to go work overseas and asked if they could help any by flying me as close as possible to bishop on the

ir flight miles! Of course I said

yes it would at least get me halfway there! So, Vegas here I come! I was able to visit family and friends down there for a few days and it was an amazing time just to relax and get some much needed work done...at this time I am still trying to figure out how I am am going t

o get to Reno 8 hrs North, to catch THE only bus that runs into Bishop...So,

I get on Craigslist to find a rideshare and come to find out one of my uncles friends was driving there the day that I needed! Check! 8 hrs in the truck what a great time! Really it was fun, great conversation! Just watch out for the alie

ns in the Nevada Desert! I needed a place to stay that night

ht and then be dropped off at the airport in Reno on that Wed. to catch the bus...Ended up getting in contact

with some old friends that are pastoring a church in Reno, they let me crash on their floor for the evening...wha

t a wonderful time catching up and actually seeing where life takes people! God has some amazing stories! Next afternoon to the airport in Reno to catch the bus...I showed up 1.5 hrs early to make sure everything was good...come to find out the lady that I talked to told 3 other people that the bus was running that day and it never showed up! So, here I am stuck in Reno! I looked into renting a car...but couldn't cause non of the car companies had any extra or they don't service one ways to Bishop. Great! So let me give you a picture....I have all my luggage with me...backpacking, climbing, camera and nothing extra...I had

been wearing the same cloths for a few days and my uncle gave me a shirt that was too small on him. SO. I ended up asking ever

yone going through Reno if they were heading in the direction of Bishop, just so I could get a way down there! After almost 4.5 hours of asking people if they were going I almost gave up and was about to call my contacts from the night b

efore, or get a hotel room...the last half hour was me just telling myself "just one more person" Finally that one more person paid off. A lady and 2 other people were standing waiting for their luggage I rolled up there with my little luggage cart way overfilled and asked if they were heading down to Bishop...No (again) then the lady asks why I need to be down there...told them about the photo shoot and the situation that I was in, she ended up calling her house sitter and asked him is he wanted to drive

down to Bishop Ca tonight she mentioned YWAM and he said YES. The lady brought me to her house set me in front of her TV with some Sparkeling Water....and I wait...45 minutes pass and I am still all by myself in her home! What a trusting woman! God is soo good! (By the way March Madness was on so I was happy) Finally my ride gets there and we picked up another car with friend and we were on the road, heading to Bishop Ca. Finally! Amazing time driving down there with these guys in the middle of the night. We ended up pulling into Bishop at around 11 at night...and they turned around and went back! I wanted to pay them but they wouldn't have it at all! God answered a lot of dreams that night mine and theirs! Mine was a ride, theirs was to help someone out!

So Now I am in Bishop for a few weeks and we did some Mountaineering, and ended up climbing close to 13,000 ft. Never in my life have I wanted to quite so bad....I just couldn't breath going up the steep mountain! But, I am so glad I kept on going....trust me the pay off was amazing...I have some pictures of it. It was a good summit/pass.

Unfortuanaly one of the staff ended up getting sick and we had to cancel the rest of the trip...we were out 5 days....I think, and we had 3 more to go. I ended up doing some things like learning how to Self Arrest and build snow caves and a bunch of different things, such a great time.

Anyways, I need to get going but tomorrow we head out to Death Valley to go Desert Canyoneering. We will be hiking for 1.5 days to the top of a canyon...Rappel down to the river and continue getting out of the canyon...a total of 13 Rappel stations! Some places will be up to our neck in water! and I have to keep all my gear Dry! Ha! This is going to be awesome! So.

The photos...
