World Ice Art Championships

I got a new camera today and I LOVE IT!!! I would have to say that I dont have the slightest clue how to work it! :) Way too many settings and buttons! Thats what the manual is for, right?

I went to the World Ice Art Championships today and the ice sculptures were incredible and HUGE!
Rodolfo is loving Japan and having a good time. He is one of the top performers in his class, as usual! :) Many of his nights are spent tutoring the other students. I will include some pictures of Japan in a few days when I get more from Rodolfo.

ENJOY!

Ruger and Some Snowboarding..

There will be more pictures coming from our snowboarding trip.. these are just a few that we got. A friend has some really great pictures and video so be on the lookout for those! Rodolfo is leaving tonight for Okinawa, Japan. Hopefully we will be able to post some pictures while he is gone.

Summit, AK 02/09

Alaska-- Dont turn your back on her, she'll kill ya!

A day of lessons learned!

Bourbot fishing 11/08

Poor man's lobster!

One of the ugliest fish ever!

You have to drill through 18" of ice to get to

these bad boys.

mmm.. mmm..

Delta Clearwater 10/08

Delta Clearwater-- the coldest river in Alaska!

This is the best Silver Salmon fishing in the interior.

You can catch upwards of 50 fish a day! They are not good to

keep thoughbecause they are spawning or have already spawned.

Strictly catch and release!

Silver Salmon are by the far the funnest fish to catch!

First picture is the boys wading back to the pick-up

after a long day!
