Geoffrey's Consulting Practices: |
We try to travel to new and exotic places every chance we get. Most of our destinations are fairly local, including potential wilderness lands in San Diego County. On holiday weekends and summers (or unemployment) we venture farther a field. Here are some of our recent adventures! Coast of Maine by Tandem: 2007 (memories only, photos coming!) - Note to self: The coast of Maine is not straight! Galapagos Islands & Ecuadoran Andes: 2006 (memories only, photos coming!) - Boobies, tortoises, flightless Cormorants, and volcanos. Europe by Tandem: 2005 (memories only, photos coming!) - We watch Lance's final victory in the tour, and enjoy a blissful week of bicycling in Holland's 'bicycle-aware' hospitality. California Wilderness Odyssey, Reprise (no broken leg) by VW Bus: 2004 (memories only, photos coming!) - Geoffrey got to backback this time! California Wilderness Odyssey (broken leg) by VW Bus: February 13 - May 27, 2003 - A wreckless and irresponsible journey of discovery, we skiied, hiked and camped in dozens of the proposed federal wilderness areas of the Senator Barbara Boxer's California Wild Heritage Act (www.californiawild.org). See photos of our harrowing adventure in Cache Creek roadless area, as Geoffrey broke his leg and was air-lifted by helicopter out of this primitive area, on the first day of spring (2002? Honey, what did we do in 2002....?) Alaska by Kayak: June 12 - June 25, 2001 - Revisiting College and Hariman Fjords, which Geoffrey had kayaked on in the 1980's, we joined with four of our friends for this 2-week adventure in the wilds of Alaska. Isle of Man and Ireland by Tandem : June 30, 2000 - July 27, 2000 - We joined 25 of Geoffrey's Smith family relatives for a once-in-a-lifetime week to the Isle of Mann for the 10-year 'Manx Society Homecoming'. Then we hopped a ship to Dublin, for a remarkable tour of the Emerald Isle. (Oh yeah, many adventures in the 20th Century, too!) |
