http://torymurray.blogspot.com/2010/05/someday-i-plan-to-backpack-rather-than.html
Sunday, May 9, 2010. Someday I Plan to Backpack Rather than Just Hike. A view towards South Sandia Peak from Embudo Canyon. Me at the top of Peak 7840.

Dark Star Safari: April 2010
http://torymurray.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 28, 2010. I'm going to try to sum up the last 3 months rather than try to post lots of different updates on all the things that have happened and then move forward. :). In February, I made my first trip to New Jersey/New York City - lots of fun. Mark and I enjoyed it thoroughly (you did, didn't you Mark? We had pizza in Hoboken, went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, walked through Central Park, attended Evensong at. St John the Divine and bought a pair of USA made jeans for me.

Monday, June 15, 2009. More renovations than just the house. Also note the trim, this will be what the rest of the trim will look like. The final room to get new hardwood flooring installed. All trim in this room and the other guest bedroom has been installed and rooms are now functional again. Several other tools that are required for a project like this.

Life in Salt Lake...and beyond: March 2008
http://robandrinaathomeandaway.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Life in Salt Lake.and beyond. Monday, March 24, 2008. The morning of the wedding I ran a 30K trail run (Pirates Cove) that is part of the Pacific Coast Trail Run Series. The course was on beautiful coastal trails in Marin on the headlands just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Chilly to start, but as you can see it didn't keep the die-hard surfers away. I would recommend any of these races if you can ever swing it. The view from the deck overlooking the beach. The happy couple on their wedding day. Lucy, ...
