Some pretty cool parasailing photos have be uploaded to the WatermanAtWork.com website. Not sure I would jump off a 2000′ cliff but it looks like fun. More photos, videos and info will be added soon so keep an eye on the website.

Nighttime temps are dropping; the ground is covered with thick frost every morning but it warms up enough to get out on the trails. Early in the day the air is thick with moisture; everything is damp. We won’t see dust on these trails again until July. Generally, the traction is perfect; the wet roots … Read more
