Rubber Room: Born Again Rock Stars

Rubber Room: Born Again Rock Stars

Posted by | Jul 1, 2009 | |

Years ago, when I was a young, naive lad, I brought a pair old Boreal rock shoes to be resoled at the Rubber Room in Bishop. The resoling shopโ€™s logoโ€”a cartoonish scantily clad, rubber-wearing dominatrix found in climbing magazinesโ€”shared a certain salacious fervor more likely to be found in the back of a big-city weekly where the term โ€œmassageโ€ is thrown around rather loosely.

The Last American Road Trip

Posted by | Jul 1, 2008 | |

It begins when you can leave town, when you leave your common sense, your guilt and a large chunk of yourself behind. It could be four years of pent-up academic frustrations. It could be the many years at a job that fleeces your ability to connect to the sweet simmering world. It could be simply that you want to let the road show you the pace.

Can anyone guess where this iconic Redwood Tree ring is in Santa Cruz? ๐ŸŒฒThe canopies of redwood trees support entire ecosystems of wildlife, insects, plants, and they even create soil up there from decomposing leaves ๐Ÿ‚. Next time you go mountain biking, running, or hiking, take a glance up and wonder at the marvels towering above you! #hiking #santacruz #adventuresportsjournal
