Dark Star Safari: Someday I Plan to Backpack Rather than Just Hike
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. Looking down through the canyon towards Albuquerque. Vuyo doing a little bouldering (he is 3 years old this month). On this Thursday, I will drive up to Colorado to meet Mark for a hike up Mt. Elbert, Colorado's tallest mountain at 14,433 feet. Whew! Hopefully we make it on Friday and then can enjoy the success of that hike for the next 2 days. Someday I ...

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.

Dark Star Safari: December 2009
http://torymurray.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. The Fun of Slot Canyons. A full rainbow in the Grand Canyon. Well, my computer is temporarily dead (is that possible? Hoping it will be revived, so I my posts will not be chronological. Just going with the pictures I have access to. Word is we hiked a total of around 40 miles. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I started this blog to record my life in South Africa in 2007. It continues as my whims go and currently I am back in New Mexico creating dreams of Alaska.

Dark Star Safari: Wednesday Play Day!
http://torymurray.blogspot.com/2010/01/wednesday-play-day.html
Friday, January 15, 2010. So in my efforts to enjoy moments while working on getting things done (I haven't mentioned that I am taking a national exam in April for board certification), I am trying to designate Wednesdays as the play day. I have to be at work earlier on Wednesdays and so not really worth trying to get some things done. This past week, "play! Was the first thing I wrote on my list for Wednesday (how many times have I typed Wednesday so far? I took my dog Vuyo. A view from the trail.

Dark Star Safari: January 2010
http://torymurray.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 29, 2010. Yurt, Yurt, Yurt. So, it happened a couple weeks ago, but here are the details of my snowshoe trip to a yurt in southern Colorado (Trujillo Meadows, just west of the reservoir that my family camped at when I was a child) over MLK. Weekend. There were five of us that went, compared to last year's 8 in the same size yurt. Imagine all that space we had this year! The Yurt (yurt, yurt). A Grey Jay, we saw several and Chickadees. Friday, January 15, 2010. So in my efforts to enjoy mo...

Dark Star Safari: February 2009
http://torymurray.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Off to the Side. On my trip to Flagstaff, Arizona in December, I was looking at a book on volcanoes in Arizona and it mentioned the Grand Falls and so my friend and I took a side trip on the way home to find them. They are located on the Navajo Reservation and few people apparently know about them. They are actually taller than Niagara Falls. Two weeks later we were in Durango for some snowboarding, another two weeks later in Pagosa Springs for more snowboarding and this weeke...

Dark Star Safari: February 2010
http://torymurray.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 4, 2010. Just Keep Searching for a Vulneray Weekend. Those Wonderful Day Hikes. Made it back to the yurt and had lunch and then strapped on the snowshoes and headed towards Trujillo Meadow Reservoir. We made it down to the meadow and decided to turn back since we had to climb out of the valley before dark. Barely seen between the two trees is Jarosa Peak, the peak we hiked up last year at Grouse Creek yurt on the other side of the mountain. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Dark Star Safari: Christmas Organizing
http://torymurray.blogspot.com/2010/01/christmas-organizing.html
Tuesday, January 12, 2010. My room in the middle of rearranging. Man, oh man, I can't sleep. My computer arrived today and after about 6 weeks without my own stuff on my own computer, the thought of doing all sorts of things, like catching up on my finances on Quicken (exciting, hey? Is keeping me awake. So I have gotten out of bed after climbing into bed just over an hour ago and downloading the Quicken 2010. So on to the actual blog post about Christmas:. I felt like there was no end to the gifts I rec...
