  • Mark: Isuzu jumping

    Mark and I shared a truck while we were in high school.  It was a little Isuzu pickup.  Here’s a picture: Mark and John Carter were the ones who first started jumping the Isuzu as the jump site was close to John Carter’s house.  Mark later showed me the location.  If I remember correctly, it’s…

  • Mark: kicking me out of the tent

    This is a story I regularly tell people when I want to get a little sympathy for having a crazy upbringing.  My Dad was long in charge of scouting when I was growing up.  For some reason I always made the cut as to which of the kids got to go with my dad when…

  • Mark: fire drills

    Mark would occasionally let me drive the car home from school when we were both attending Morgan High together.  And that usually meant we had a car full of people (typically no one in the trunk, but at least five or six of us in the car).  One of the things we almost always did…

  • Mark: visiting Park City

    I don’t recall why we were going to Park City, but I know that’s where we went.  It may have been for a game or just to meet up with some people Mark know, but what I do recall is that Mark borrowed my Dad’s Honda and then proceeded to fill it beyond full.  I’m…

  • CA-Mount Whitney

    Summit Date 8/16/2011 – around 8:20 am Party Tom Triplett and Ryan Cragun Trip Report Due to a rather last minute work issue, Mark was unable to hike Mount Whitney with Tom and I.  With his blessing, Tom and I decided to still hike Mount Whitney. We had decided on Mount Whitney as we had…

  • Mark: dodging trains

    This is another one of the activities that we did regularly, so I don’t have any real stories, per se, but I can describe what we would do.  I also don’t recall who all did this with us, but I’m pretty sure Mark Woolley, Tom Triplett, Murray Triplett, Mark, John Carter, and Todd Haws all…

  • Mark: running from cops

    Unlike my brother Danny, who tried to get away from the police in Morgan in a car, Mark and I did it on foot.  And we succeeded, whereas Danny failed (yes, we are so competitive we even compete in how deviant we can be!). Mark, Mitch Johnson, and I went down to the same overpass…

  • last of the gratuitous photos… for now

    Here are a few more good shots from the Jacksonville photoshoot:  

  • When the Bumbo is too small…

    …to sit in anymore, don’t worry.  Just turn it upside down and put it on your head. BUMBO HELMET!!!

  • sad face gratuitous photo

    Of his own accord, Toren decided to pull a sad face during the photoshoot:
