Beneath the Ice It was a cold snowy morning on the frozen shores of Lake Superior. I unloaded all of my ice fishing supplies from my truck and back my ATV out of the trailer. The ice was at least a foot thick by this time of year according to the people in town more than safe enough for the trip out on the lake. I gassed up my ATV and strapped down all my gear and headed out to my shanty. Trying to navigate in these conditions is very treacherous having only a general idea on the whereabouts of

It was a warm summer day in July on a horse ranch in Colorado Springs. Our group was waiting anxiously to get on the backs of our horses. I was extremely nervous as the guide bright out a tall‚ patched‚ and furry horse who went by the name Apache. As we all climbed aboard our horses‚ we had no idea what challenges were ahead of us.

An Upbeat Ascent Wind in my face‚ I tramp up the mountain. Only the summit lays ahead‚ a monument of fear‚ casting doubt in the hearts of adventurers.

I was flying down the hill‚ picking up speed as I went. I willed my skis to carry me faster. I concentrated with all my concentration possible. The figure behind me started to close in.

In order to understand our selves‚ we must first understand snow. I find my self constantly drawn back to the subject of snow. While much has been written on its influence on contemporary living‚ several of todays most brilliant minds seem incapable of recognising its increasing relevance to understanding future generations.
