70 degrees + in November? Let's go hiking!
Took advantage of the great weather by going for a nice hike at Fort Harrison State Park today.
For those of you who don't already know, I recently got myself an iPhone, so I've been playing around with it constantly lately. I used our hike today to try out a new app on my iPhone. It's called EveryTrail, and it basically allows you to track your route, and take pictures along the way and have those pics located on the map of your path. So here is the result:

The joy of voting!
We early voted today, trying to beat the crowds...
That didn't exactly work out. We ended up waiting in line for almost 3 hours. Lexi was a trooper but she did get a little grumpy at times about having to wait so long.
The imortant thing is that we got our votes in. Now all that's left is volunteering on Tuesday and then waiting for the results.

Lexi is a goof
Video of Lexi telling her Dad "Happy Birthday!".
Video of Lexi picking up and carrying her giant dinosaur. This requires much grunting because "T" (T. Rex" is almost as big as her.

Stream Clean-up
I helped out with a large clean-up project on the White River in central Indiana a couple weeks ago. I was there as part of a Smallmouth Bass conservation group that I'm involved with, The Indiana Smallmouth Alliance. In total the cleanup effort covered somewhere around 70 miles of the river.
I was on a stretch somewhere around 3 miles long with two other guys from the group. We had two kayaks and a one-man canoe. We managed to pick up quite a bit of garbage considering the storage space we had.
Here is a picture of my kayak and one of the other guy's canoe right before we offloaded everything at a guy's house along the river. We saw the guy standing up the hill by his house watching us, so one of the guys with me went up and spoke to him, and convinced him to help us out by taking the garbage we had collected. Later on somebody else from our group came and picked the stuff up from his house. Worked out great because it allowed us to collect twice as much garbage since we were pretty much totally full at that point and still had about half way to go.
Here is a shot of my kayak at the end of our stretch. Keep in mind, this is all entirely new garbage from what was in the first picture.
It was a fun day, and we felt good about having helped out the stream in some small way.
