October 31, 2004 Halloween Halloween at Andrew's loft.

July 5-14, 2004 Ireland Summer vacation in Ireland with the Murphys. We stayed in a beautiful house south of Dublin in the Wicklow Mountains.

March 4-8, 2003 Joshua Tree NP, CA Spring break in Joshua Tree NP, CA, where I spent several days backpacking and bouldering in the winter rock climbing capital of the US.

May 17, 2003 David's Graduation, Orono, ME Yet another Orsi gets some letters after his name. University of Maine, Orono.

February 14, 2003 Hell Hole Ice climbing at the Hell Hole in the Catskills. Yes, that's really the name of the place.

July 4, 2002 Mt. Whitney, CA A one-day ascent of Mt. Whitney, CA, highest point in the lower 48. 13 hours round-trip to the summit (14,495 feet), with the most stunning alpine scenery imaginable along the way.

February 15-17, 2002 Ski Touring in Yellowstone National Park A tremendous ski tour in the land of frozen nights and hot springs. This trip had a little bit of everything -- fording rivers, -23° (yes, negative) nights, 30° and sunny days, and gorgeous scenery.

February 9, 2002 Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Some shots taken on a sunny day at the resort. I'm working on the white balance issues...

February 2, 2002 Quest for Pow When the resort denies, the backcountry provides. The eternal Quest for Pow takes me to Wimpy's Knob in Grand Teton National Park for a full day of randonee action.

January 22, 2002 Powder Day January 22 was a tremendous powder day at JHMR. Close to two feet of fresh fell in less than 24 hours. These pictures look awful, but hopefully you'll get a sense of what the sweet, sweet pow is all about.

January 10, 2002 Grand Targhee The weather finally cleared at Grand Targhee ski resort (knicknamed "Grand Foggy"), so I was able to take some pictures. The view from the top of the mountain is amazing. My photographic skills don't do it justice.

December, 2001 Jackson — Hole, Sweet Hole Jackson, Wyoming -- where I lived for the winter of 2001-2002.

November 30, 2001 Nebraska — Real American Heavy Metal There, on the horizon, out of the infinite wastes of central Nebraska, rose a hulking icon of freedom. The M-80 Main Battle Tank... A bizarre tourist stop on my drive out to Jackson, WY.

October 27 - 28, 2001 Grand Teton National Park Here are some shots I took while hiking in Grand Teton National Park, about 12 miles north of Jackson. The peaks in them are mainly the Grand Teton (the big one), the South Teton, and Mt. Owen. The lake is called String Lake.

September 9 - 11, 2001 Kayaking the Upper Delaware Our annual journey down the River Mild, made surreal in 2001 by its conclusion on September 11th.

June 26, 2001 Jorsipalooza 2001 — The Shaming This event needs no introduction... though you will need to email me for a password to see it.

May 14, 2001 Storm King Mountain, NY Pics I took while hiking up Storm King along the Hudson, just north of West Point, NY. Hiking there is technically forbidden because of unexploded ordnance left over from its previous use for Army artillery practice.
