h) Most interesting trips.
Spent a week kayaking off the Maine coast at a WoodenBoat School course.

Two week raft trip through the Grand Canyon - the best vacation I have
ever taken.

Ran the Tuolumne River.  Cleavy Falls was great and we didn't flip.

4-day whitewater kayaking school.  Convinced my that sea kayaking was
the way to go since I spent too much of the 4 days upside down and
bailing out of the kayak.

Hiking the Grand Canyon - S. Kaibab Trail in and Bright Angel Trail
out.  Best hike I have ever taken although I could barely move at the
end of the hike.  Interestingly, going down was harder than going up.

i) Bio
Live in Las Vegas.  The town is the pits and is getting worse every day
but there sure are some great outdoor places within 1 days drive of the
place.  Getting close to 60 years old - that sounds ancient.  Ph.D. in
chemistry.  Run the lab at the Clark County Wastewater Treatment plant.
